Noflers Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Starting a thread here in hopes of any information provided can end up on search results easier. With that being said, I haven't heard of many people doing zx brakes in the rear, but I'm hoping to find at least someone who has... My questions mainly pertains to the E-Brake set up. FutoFab sells the brackets, for anyone wondering where to get them. I asked FutoFab these questions, but they weren't sure about setting up the e-brake Is there interference with anything when hooking up the linkage? I don't have an e-brake cable on my car at the moment, so should I look for 510 cables or the ZX cables? What about the brake lever, can the ZX lever be used? I'd like to use a lever, rather than the 510 pull handle. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Sedans cables pull diagonally to the front. Goons cables towards the center, to the rear of the differential. ZX and 510 sedan cables are very similar design, length might be the difference. Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 What year ZX rear calipers? The '79 & '80 are a strange caliper similar to stock 510 front calipers. '81-'83 are like the 200sx and Maxima, but they all have different ebrake bracket orientations. I have Maxima calipers on my 510, and I've been trying to figure out a parking brake. Hydraulic is out of the question. Parking/emergency brakes are mechincal for a reason. Quote Link to comment
Noflers Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 My thoughts exactly on the hydraulic style e-brake. The brackets are for 82-83 rotors and calipers. This would be another story if I had the parts in hand, but I want to be sure they'll do exactly what I need them to before I spend money on parts. Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I have the Silvermine Motors brackets, and they are very nice. CNC aluminum made from a single piece. I recommend them. Quote Link to comment
Noflers Posted November 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Thanks. I like the idea of ZX Brakes all around because it would be nice to have all the brakes from the same vehicle.. Quote Link to comment
scooter Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 What about s13 rear brakes? Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 If this is for future reference, the subject of the thread should mention that it is for a 510. The S30 can also have rear ZX disc brake swaps. Have you looked at the 240Z rear brake conversions? If so, is the process similar to the 510? Quote Link to comment
