I know the early 260z had front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. I have a 240z parts car and a 260z I'm trying to get running. Would it be possible to swap the front discs to replace my rear drum brakes on the 260z? Or would that be a bad idea? Would that even work?

If you want disc brakes on the rear, then you need to look at getting the rear set-up from a 280ZX. (OMG! I said the forbidden word! :tapemouth )

Try doing a search on this site. I'm not sure if there is a write up here or not. I'm pretty sure there is one at www.zhome.com There are also very good write ups around the net, you just have to do a little searching. This might be a little involved as I believe you also have to swap part of the half shaftes because of the different stub axles from the 280ZX.

Good luck on the project, though.
