Question 1974 260z

Would someone please let me know if rear disc brakes from a 1982 280ZX would bolt on to a 1974 260Z with rear drum brakes?

Re: 1974 260z

I have 2 1980 280zx and 1 early 260z. But I never really measured anything like that. I do know the zx had trailing arm suspension which consistantly underperforned throughout history. I'm sure its possible all you gotta do is turn some bolts, cut a knuckle, and compare some metal to get what you are after. Then you will know and it wont matter what I know or claim to know. Oh and be sure to ask if it was an actual 2 feet of stopping distance gained from 80 mph, or more like a foot and something when you talk to people who did that conversion. If your car is so powerful that the stock brake system was a liability then I would expect you to be asking about 4 piston front calipers, or the larger 15/16 280zx brake master cylinder and bigger booster right in front of your face that time you opened the hood.
