Remanufactured caliper is $18. Don't even bother trying to rebuild it.

also if i keep the same setup im looking for the stock rotors they have a little flare on the inside were the bearing and seal do...all aftermarket one i buy for it are just straight rotors like on a newer car no bearing inside...any help...maybe previous owner swaped them out idk

NAPA sell the rotors

Oreillys

Autozone

Rock auto

 

Or get yours turned.

 

210 have a separate hub with bearing. The rotors bolt to the hub.

does the entire 280zx strut assembly bolt into the 210 with the springs cut?

[ggzilla]

No but the strut assembly has to be modified. Basically grind the lower perch off and weld the 210 perch to the ZX strut. You can use the 210 spring uncut. Or use cut springs from rear of 280ZX.
