Posted April 12, 200915 yr comment_280519 I searched the forum looking for some answer's on a 240sx rear brake conversion and find bit's of info here and there , but mostly 280zx stuff and conversion's on 240Z's.I have found a huge selection of 240sx cars at the junkyard and want to snag some brake's off of it.What year 240sx am I looking for to do my 77' rear conversion?I need a 280zx master right?And just the maxima brackets?Do i then use the 240sx rotor's or the 280zx one's.I read that the drilled and slotted rotor's are a bad idea because of cracking but are they ok for off track use?I'm not really adding a bunch of hp to my Z.

April 12, 200915 yr comment_280523 I need a 280zx master right? A 1979 280zx master to be exact. The later models switched the mounting 90 degrees.And just the maxima brackets? No. Only the brackets from Modern Motorsports or Silvermine Motors will work.Do i then use the 240sx rotor's or the 280zx one's. Neither. The the rear rotors from a 1984 300zx turbo.See my comments above.

April 12, 200915 yr comment_280547 Close KTM, but you use the '84 300ZX non-Turbo rotors. The turbo rotors are five lug. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/31485-240sx-brakes-on-a-77-280z/#findComment-280547 Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 13, 200915 yr comment_280598 Close KTM, but you use the '84 300ZX non-Turbo rotors. The turbo rotors are five lug. Whoops, I meant non-turbo. I did this swap myself. Typed too fast without checking. Thanks for the correction.
