GORILLARILLA21` Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Supposedly these are 280zx brakes, but I have a pair and these definitely are not. Anyone know what they are from?? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Fronts? The '84 and up S12 look very like those, but not the VG30 powered ones, only the CA. The '81-'84 Maxima also look the same. The early 80s Pulsar NX, Stanza and Sentra also look like those but are smaller then the ones mentioned above. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 They look like 200sx, 1987ish Quote Link to comment
GORILLARILLA21` Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Thanks for the responses. Yes, they are fronts. Anyone else? If it helps, they are a bit smaller than the 280zx fronts. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I don't think you're going to get a more succinct answer. Look at the images for an 87 200sx 4 cylinder and they will look just like those. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CARDONE-19-B625-Front-Brake-Caliper-Reman-Friction-Choice-Caliper-w-Bracket-/160822106814?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1987|Model%3A200SX&hash=item2571be9abe&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Definitely late 80's 2.0L 200sx N/A calipers. Quote Link to comment
GORILLARILLA21` Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Ended up being an 81 maxima. But the guy gave me 280zx rotors and struts with the coilover conversion.. Now there's a 1/4-1/2in gap where the caliper mounts the strut. Do they make a spacer to fill the space? Quote Link to comment

But the guy gave me 280zx rotors and struts with the coilover conversion.. Now there's a 1/4-1/2in gap where the caliper mounts the strut. Do they make a spacer to fill the space? Also the Maxima and the zx rotors are different diameter so perhaps the calipers are mounted differently. It's only a few mm but check it out carefully. Have you looked at new Maxima rotors? Maybe they are 1/4" closer to the calipers? Maybe this is the difference between max and zx rotors too? I guess the widest thickest washers you can find and longer grade 8 bolts. A single spacer would be best but use caution.... this is the braking system, the most important safety device on your vehicle next to the nut behind the wheel. Quote Link to comment
