i installed rear disc on my 73 ....my calipers i bought of some guy who machines them they have the engraving ke engineering ...my set up uses a 86 maxima caliper and 300 zx non turbo rear rotors ......yes 300zx i made the mistake and thought they needed the 280zx ones when i installed them the pads only got about 3/8ths of the disc ....i haven't tried them out yet since i am very busy to even bleed them so im having my mechanic finish it off .....looks aggressive with the way bigger 300 rotor ....best part is my my parking brake actualy worked before i sent it to the shop ive had my z for 7 years and it never worked ....the conversion ran me about 300 bracket set $100 calipers (salvage yard) $23 rotors $23 each pads $25 bucks all new brake hardware $25

american top gear is a waste of programing they seem to hold all the american made cars with high praise....i have a few older american cars and newer ones too none of them hold a candle to the smile i have on my face while i drive my miss colored z down the hwy and get thumbs up from lots of people....i even get people with high performance cars telling me lovely z

i havent used the xr-700. but i do have the xr-3000 and it performs excelent my car started allot easier and ran allot better...the only bad part is that if one of the wires ever comes loose any bit it will melt due to the high voltage. it has melted my distributor cap from the connection and also a bit off the coil. but i also had 8mm wires so that was the cause. all i did was snip off the coil wire boot and plug it directly into the coil and distrubutor.(the boot was making the wire disconect)
