Phoenix Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hi guys I'm looking to do a period correct front brake upgrade do I can use 14 inch rims, my question here is can 240z or 260z front struts fit a 510 front end? If so what modifications need to be done? If not what other struts can I use? 240k? 200B? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment
Phoenix Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 The ones I'm looking at are the 260Z items Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 280zx struts are the ones you want. Quote Link to comment
Phoenix Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Awesome thanks for your reply, I can get ahold of some 260z items but will have a look for some 280SX ones. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 The spindle angle on anything Z car but those 280zx is wrong for the 510, which is why they don't work. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I had to read again but it is correct, only awkward. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Z spindle angle and steering knuckle bolt spacing also wrong. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Wow, that is awkward. I had trouble understanding myself just now. So just read what thisismatt said. I was spouting gibberish apparently. Sorry. Quote Link to comment
Phoenix Posted May 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice so what would be a good upgrade on the Struts? & brakes I heard a 280SX brake booster, rotors & Calipers would be ideal for a brake upgrade, would these fit on to a stock 510 strut? Trying to source the parts ATM. Want to run 14inch Watanabe rims. need a brake upgrade that can fit 14's thanks again Quote Link to comment

The brake booster will not fit it is to big, you can use a brake booster from a 620 matter what carbs you use or b210 I think will fit with any carbs. I just found some one that was parting out 280zx and just pulled then my self, if you do a search on here for 280zx struts you will find a lot of people talking about this and how to do it.
