75" 280z 4-piston brake refresh

Featured Replies

Im in need of new rubber lines on my 75, to be fair the whole system needs overhauled. Im considering this 4-pistion setup from zcardepot and Im wondering if anyone else has tried it. The kit isnt that much more than stock.

I need to do both front and rear, but i think i will stick with drums in the back for the time being since that conversion is quite a bit more expensive.

I have a front toyota setup that I could sell you for a lot less than that. I took it off my 240z

I didn't do mine in a kit, but the Toyota 4-piston caliper upgrade using the 300ZX vented rotor is a nice, easy upgrade from the stock caliper and rotor. Upgraded friction front and rear makes it even better. There are literally hundreds of posts about this particular upgrade (for more than a decade) and the kit shown above looks to have all the needed parts.

The early hub on 240's and my early 260Z needs a thicker spacer than does the late 260 and 280Z's to center the rotor in the caliper properly. The upgrade also works well with the stock master cylinder. Many people also upgrade to a 15/16" 280ZX master cylinder... I use the stock 7/8" in my 260, my son uses the ZX master in his (also Turbo-swapped) 280Z.

I would lean towards going with a kit from @Patcon merely for the fact it’s been installed and the kinks have been worked out. Other than adding new pads you should be set.
