i haven't seen the toyota callipers set up this way,and can't take the credit since i had another good friend to do the work. i like the way it turned out and hope that you all will look closely at the pictures. there are grade eight flat washers between the rotor and hub with grade eight bolts. then the other spacer to give clearance between the wheel and callipers are from my rear aluminum drums that i didn't need anymore.

Where is the cheapest place for Centerline Billet Star 16x7 wheels or any other Centerline Billet Star that will fit a Z. Motorsports seem too pricey Summit is a bit less but still allot, if there is something cheaper that is good quality and looks the same where can I buy it?

Ok want to upgrade the brake lines for the 280. I know there are kits for replacing the rubber hose but what about replacing from the hard line all they way to the caliper. Has anyone done this? If so did you make them yourself or have them custom made? Any advice on what fittings to use or just advice in general would be great. I have thought about having lines made that connect straight up to the hard line and then have a banjo fitting that goes to the caliper. What does everyone think?

Anyone happen to know how much the works/semi-works rear fender flares stick out from the body on a S30 in comparison to the commonly available street flares (which are replicas of what came on the ZGs)? There was a red S30 in the parking lot outside the Japanese Classic in Long Beach two months ago but I neglected to take a measurement even though I did take some pics... -e

Hello all, So this is the last main problem with my Z before it is road worthy to be driven. I had a problem with the brakes being REALLY bad, so I bleed the brakes and it would feel good for about 5 pumps of the brakes and then go back to bad after that. I thought it was my Master Cylinder, but after replacing it (it needed to be done anyways) I learned that both of my rear wheel hydralic cylinders were leaking. So after a couple of pumps of the brakes and most of the fulid would leak out. Is it a common problem for a wheel cylinder to leak and fail? The car was sitting for four years when I got it? (see the first photo for referance) Does someone have a part number f…

I found this kit on ebay for $588 w/ shipping. It does also include rotors for the front. Or I could get it for $443 w/ shipping instead without the front rotors. Does this kit include everything that I would need for a rear disc brake conversion? I was looking at getting drums, but to do brakes all around, it would only cost me between $100 and $200 extra just to go with the conversion kit for the rear instead of going with new drums. # (2) BRAND NEW FRONT 70-77 240Z,260Z, OR 280Z NON VENTED CROSS DRILLED/SLOTTED BRAKE ROTORS( SO NOW YOU CAN HAVE FRONT ROTORS TO MATCHED YOUR REAR ROTORS) # (2) BRAND NEW 280ZX REAR CROSS DRILLED/SLOTTED BRAKE ROTORS # (2) BRAND NEW FR…

Last summer I bought new wheels for the Z and have a set of mesh wheels(see gallary) that Im not sure what to do with. I dont know the brand all I know is they were put on shortly after the car was purchased new. I am wondering if I should keep them or if anyone has any interest in them.They have tires on them that will have to replaced as they are a little cracked but the tread is good the wheels are 14x5.5 or 6 I can look in the rim for the size and I can put up some better pics. They look like enkie or appliance maybe Arne can tell. Not sure if Ill sell was trying to get a reaction from you guys first. Thanks for the help. Chris

I'm looking for new calipers for my '71 and came across some at Rock Auto for $39.99 loaded. They are re-manufactured by A-1 Cardone. Anyone ever heard of them? They also list some Beck Arnleys for a bit more. Any insight appreciated. Thanks, HH
