    Thanks John, I will look if I can get the calipers here, if I can't get them I will have to order from the US. http://silverminemotors.com/product.sc?productId=13&categoryId=14 it seem that it is all I need Thank you

    The upgrade will be for a 240Z 72, I will use the same disc (solid) and I wont do modifications to the master vac, I been reading about the upgrade using the toyota calipers and it seem to be pretty simple, the hard part will be getting all the stuff together, the shipping is kind of expensive, sometimes I pay more for the shipping than for the part Gil

  7. Hi, I have a 240Z and I plan to use a 79 280zx front brakes, I been reading and it seem this upgrade is very simple, I plan on getting the MC, the front calipers and the front rotors from a 79 2890Zx, since I live in Mexico City it's very hard to come across these cars so do you think I might need something else to do this conversion? Thanks Gil

    Does anybody know the diameter on the brake lines? Can I use stainless steel or do I need a special marterial? I plan to do it in Dec or Jan, but since I live down in Mexico its harder to get all the things. I still have to order the tube cutter, the tube bender and the kit for the double flare Can you guys help me out in this predicament

    Frankie I am just about to do the same thing, I have watch some videos on youtube explaining about the doubleflare and bending. do you know if the diameter for the brake lines is 5/16?. these video are very clear and it doesn't look very complicated, the hard thing to do is try to fit the whole thing back together. Regards

    Thank to all, It seems this topic arouse some confusion, but I preferred as Enrique said to take the lock to a locksmith and have the set of keys mede there, by the way I manage to take out the security bolt by applying some crazy glue on the tip of anoter screw and place it on top of the security bolt and then I just turned the screw. Thank you all for helping me out

    hi, does anybody knows what is the color of the wire for the hi beam? I am building my own harness but i am not sure what color is it, according to the diagrams I think it could be the RW wire. Thank you

    Hi, I plan to get this Air dam, but do you think the original turn signal lights will fit? Thank you
  24. Hi to all, well i´m wiring the dash lights but there is one cable that i think might be the cigarette lighter but i am not quite sure, there is a R/L (red/Blue) wire that comes from the speedo (2 lamps), then to the tach (2 lamps), then to the rheostat with a spade connector, and it goes to the water/oil, amm/fuel and clock gauges, but then this wire chanfes to red with a bullet connector and then it splices again to blue, my question here is the next, The L wire i think is for the radio, the R wire i think it's for the cigarette lighter , but in the diagram it shows that the cigarette lighter feed trough a L/W wire from the fuse box, can the R wire be for the cigarette lighter and diagram I have is wrong? Thank you

    I replace the fusible links with Maxi fuses, and ACC it is a short for Accesories, I think it'll be better for you to replace the burn wires with new ones, The WR wire as E said, are actually two wires.
