Maxima Brake Caliper Brackets

[Ben's Z]

I looked over at HybridZ about the maxima rear caliper brackets for disc brake conversion. Two stickies give two different answers on what years I need. One says 1981-1984 the other says 1985-1988. I cannot find OE salvage yard brackets anywhere, so this requires me to buy new ones. Modern Motorsports sells them for the 240zx brakes but not the 280zx brakes. I want to use 280zx brakes since I am buying a 280zx parts car this weekend. What are my options for brackets? I refuse to buy the ones at Modern, as the cost is way too high for what you get. You don't need all the other crap they are charging you for in the kit, you just need brackets.

I would post over at hybrid but that site is so f*cked up it says you cannot start a new topic in the brakes and chassis section.

You were probably trying to start a new thread in the FAQ section. It's locked so that people don't clutter it up with off-topic questions. If you tried in the regular forum section and signed in, it shouldn't be a problem. I would not start your query by telling everyone how F'ed up the site is though.

Have you tried calling MSA and asking if they'll sell you the parts you want without the "crap"?

You probably know already from your extensive research that many people believe that the 280Z drum brakes are more than sufficient for everything but racing, if they are in proper working condition.

Edit - Was just at the Hybridz site. Saw your post. You're in the FAQ section.

Thanks my man. Yeah I know that the brakes are adequate. For me it is more about aesthetics when the day comes I go to the Rota wheel. That is why I don't feel the need to have the stainless lines etc. etc. "Low Budget/High Value" you get what I am saying!
