(Locky) Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 ok, after mucking around with the brakes it looks like the wheel cylinders are dead, so looking at my options to get them done. this looks like it may be the bigger hurdle to getting the car on the road basically PBR only have a listing for the 260z, if they are the same i can get them through work for cheap, but im not sure if they are 240z wheel cylinders from swmotorsport http://www.swmotorsport.com.au/index.html?lang=en-us&target=d93.html but at $120 each i dont like the sound of that or rear disc conversion from reading quite a few write ups i would need bigger master cylinder (280zx) bias adjuster ? calipers rotors adaption stuff im particually interested in the s13 rear brake conversion, mainly because i have some laying around (i think mine are s15, but i have about 4 sets of s13 ones through mates ) but the adapter plates are US$165 + postage but its a good exchange rate atm alos need new brake lines which ether get made up here or US$75 from the same people so it basically looks like i can get the rear disc conversion minus rotors, master cylinder and bias adjuster for the same as just new wheel cylinders if i can get away from it with just a cheaper wheel cylinder ill go with that (balling on a budjet :'() but am i on the right track with the conversion Quote
dalee Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I got mine rebuilt/kit at the local brake shop. Second lot I received back 2 wks ago. From memory it cost $30-$40. They also rebuilt the hilux callipers and rebonded new new material for rear shoes. Quote
aegean Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I would also get them rebuilt using stainless steel sleeves. Much better than new and will last almost indefinitely. Here is one company in Sydney that do it http://maps.google.com/maps/place?client=safari&rls=en&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Partmasters+Sydney&fb=1&hq=Partmasters&hnear=Sydney&cid=12657249827252771746 Quote
