mhub91 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 A few updated pics of A10 / KA swap!! KA24DE Bolts right in. 100% good to go. Must use 240sx brackets / mounts. Easy enough! No drilling, nothing. Good to go. Enjoy! :) 3 Quote Link to comment

mhub91 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 '79 it outside of CA smog anyway.... as long as you don't get pulled over and they're suspicious of what's under your hood. Quote Link to comment
Fat510 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 i have vented brakes now :thumbup: Can you guess what i did? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 ZX strut swap. I said the HL is the new PL. About time the E/DEs started to be swapped in. This car really deserves the attention. ZL2.3 maybe with a zx 5 speed and a late S110 H-190 rear end with a truck 4.375 in it. FUCK ME. Maybe a Z24 from a 720 in an '80 or newer? 5 speed of course. Maybe 3.889 or 4.11s for the low revving stump puller. 1 Quote Link to comment
Fat510 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 ZX strut swap. Yes :thumbup: with new hoses! Quote Link to comment

Fat510 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 they are in my build thread as well :) The brakes need to be bled so its not done yet but it pulls the wheels in about (i dont remember right now) a half inch or so Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 So mhub...you said use 240sx mounts. Like the rubbers? Looks good. What are you doing about your trans? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 '79 it outside of CA smog anyway.... Since when? Everyone I know there says if it's after '75 you have to smog it? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 The brakes need to be bled so its not done yet but it pulls the wheels in about (i dont remember right now) a half inch or so In fact it's exactly 1/2". :thumbup: Side note: if you switch them side-to-side you'll have better clearance at the tie rod ends. On some cars, as the pads wear down the caliper moves just enough to hit the tie rod end. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I wonder if that applies to the Maxima calipers too????? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Almost all the bigger calipers and/or common brake swaps have that problem. It's honestly a no-brainer to swap them. No downside, all upside. Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 So mhub...you said use 240sx mounts. Like the rubbers? Yes. I unbolted the entire mount from the engine cross member of the 240sx and installed on the A10 OEM Nissan 240sx mounts, bolt directly to A10 xmember Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Almost all the bigger calipers and/or common brake swaps have that problem. It's honestly a no-brainer to swap them. No downside, all upside. . Well I have all new rotors and pads and a few thou miles on them. Will keep an eye on this and if I ever take them off to chamge the damper fluid again I'll swap sides. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I believe so, yes. This way the bleeder screw is still to the top to let the air out. Quote Link to comment
