shaddai Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Howdy ratsunners (I'm still super fresh here.. painfully obvious?)... I recently got tired of stopping on a 10 dollar bill and upgraded my front brakes from sketch front brakes to the Techno Toy Tuning micro big brake kit. And threw some new wheels on for good measure. Random pictures: Test fitting: Steelies didn't clear w/o a 1" spacer... so happy to not have those any more... The old brakes: Quote Link to comment
demo243 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Digging those wheels! Thats brake kits looks pretty clean too. I like that they use a 1 piece rotor. Any chance there was a brand or part number on those rotors? Quote Link to comment
iceman510 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Are you still on stock 510 struts? (Edit- oops, looks like it in picture 5). Looks like a great fit in that 13" wheel. I believe the T3 micro kit for 280ZX struts uses the Z31 4 bolt rotor. Not sure about the 510 strut kit. I am making up my own "micro" style kit for 280ZX rotors and Z31 300ZX hubs and rotors, so the supplied photos are really helpful. Still fine tuning my brackets. My friends 3d printer is not so great at holding my specified dimensions. Edited June 11, 2020 by iceman510 correction Quote Link to comment

Thanks on the wheels! 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Looks like a good upgrade! i just finished installing 280zx struts on my 1200. Made a good difference in stopping power. Quote Link to comment
BRG510 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 The T3 micro kit for the 510 struts uses 280zx rotors with a spacer/adapter. Quote Link to comment
shaddai Posted June 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Fancy details (pre install, obviously) Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Those do look like 280ZX rotors. Is there a part # on the rotor box? Nice clean 4dr! Those must be a JDM wheel.....?? 😎 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Maybe someone stole the engine? Quote Link to comment
shaddai Posted June 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Nope... not unless someone put a convincing lightweight replica of an L18 engine in it... that somehow functions decently... HAHA Quote Link to comment
