[mossy]

If anyone is after calipers I was at pick payngo in ringwood about a fortnight ago and they had calipers on a 280z which looked the same as Lurch's. If your after series 2 calipers datspares in clayton have a set in stock but no pad clips though, I got the last complete set

  With regard to removal of valve from master cylinder. I have fitted a 280Z m/cylinder to my 260Z, will this apply in this case.
 Also with regard to caliper brackets, are there two types to suit S1 & S2.   
 Finally do I need to change brake booster to a 280Z unit.

In regards to the 280ZX conversion using the Maxima brackets, in North America, they are the "late" 280ZX calipers that are used, I would dare call them the "S2" that is being refered to in this thread. They look just like the red ones pictured earlier in this thread.

I have this same set-up on my '73 240Z. I will be changing it soon though. 

I'll have to consider removing that residual valve, I haven't had any problems thus far, over 2 years of driving with them, but it's an interesting point.

Do the OZ S30s, have a couple distrobution blocks mounted below the MC and on the firewall? I wonder if that is a difference between the OZ cars and the NA cars?

The early Aust S30's just have that pressure difference switch under the MC and then onebrake line goes to the back wheels. Later ones had the distribution block bolted to the firewall.
