the 1980 280zx came with all wheel disk rotors right? that is what mine has. I was wundering if I could bye some new rear calipers frome just any place like napa or somthing. I am cuting into the rear rotors, and theye are leaking. very odd but I guess the slider pins are freezing, and the wheel cilenders are bad. the funny thing is I see the fluid on where the parking brake come around the back on both sides.

 

yes you can buy new calipers if they still have them in stock. Back when I last checked, they were around $200 each for the rear. (front calipers are far cheaper)

FYI: 1979-81 are one style of caliper, 1982/83 are a different style
importedcarparts.com has them for $100 each plug $11 core.

 

wow thanks alot bleech. that was some very helpfull information.

 

try e-bay, i got all four courners for around $150.

 

On the topic of calipers, do the 82/83 Turbo and Non-Turbo use the same calipers? I know after sitting so long the front passenger caliper on my Turbo has kinda worn out, so I was wondering if I could just swap the caliper from my 2+2.

 

I would say I think they would. I don't think they make them different because they are turbos, 2 + 2's, or n/a's. As long as they are the same year and such. But find out to make sure though. I would just take off the one, and see if it looks the same.

 

yeah, they're the same

 

You could also try cleaning it up and buying new seals for it as well, no idea on whether that would fix your issue but, I don't see why not. My 2 seater sat for years, rusted to hell but man that car ran great LOL then again I guess if you already have the calipers on hand you might as well swap them.

 

i have some spare rear brakes off a 1981 280zx turbo auto matic that look like that 1980-81's brake claipers there in great shape and they dont leak.. let me know if u want to buy them from me.. 50 bucks plus shipping.
