um... if you pput the S130 cstrut on why not take the entire assy rotor and caliper included? as far as upgrading form there, brembo makes slotted and crossdrilled replacement rotors, or you could get the arizona z car big brembo upgrade but it ain't cheap!

I don't think there is a bolt in upgrade caliper for the 280zx, the outlaw 2800 might fit it bolts to the s30 struts but is intended for a slightly larger diameter rotor than the S30's it's what I am running, might fit the s130 strut?here is the tech pagehttp://www.outlawdiscbrakes.com/2800.htmlhere is one place tht sells them for about $130 each which is cheap!http://www.jrmotorsports.com/p...8.cfm

no willwood calipers bolt upoutlaw 2800 will bolt upbut you'll need a race rotor, outlaw or willwood doesn't mater it's just a generic race rotor, I don't recall the deminsions and you'll need a custom hat to bolt the race rotor to your hub

the easiest wayt to get driving is to keep the 280zx stock brakes which should have plenty of stopping power for a dime that weighs hundreds of lbs less than the s130

I'd like to reiterate that the outlaw caliper bolts to the s30 strut, and I think it'll bolt to the s130, all you gotta do is measure the distance between your mounting holes, should be 3.5 center to center

juan at jsk (havn't heard from him in quite a while) makes a kit for using the wilwood calipers, if he's still making them I believe he stopped quite a while back

terry (I seem to recll that being hie name) makes the outlaw kitshttp://www.outlawbrakes.com/brakes.htmland the kit I was speaking of uses the 12.19 x .81 vented rotor, you can get them by brembo, wilwood outlaw or any race brake manufacturer, he sells the hats for $250 a pair, but the 240, 280 and the 0280zx all use different thickness hubs so you'll want to specify what hud you plan on using to be sure that the hat is the right thickness

wilwood does sell hats and rotors that'll work but but might not be the right offset for the outlaw caliper, most people running wilwood hats and rotors are also running wilwood calipers, I seem to recall a total of about $1500 to buy all the parts form a seller that sells the pieces at a good price, the bad news is you have to measure and figure ti all otu and look through their catalogs to find the right part numbers for your application and hope you got it all right

sweet.....but dam....alot of $$$$...haha....i saw that the rotor hat for the 280zx is like $350..omg.....oh..man....****....gonna take me a long time....and workin part-time aint gonna help...lol...

but i still wonder if that caliper would run good...on the stock 280zx rotors....

why are you so bent on changing the calipers? whats wrong with the stock s130 set up? also be weary the s130 hub is thinner than the s30 hubs placing the caliper and toror closer to the wheel, you might be giving yourself wheel fitment issues, and the outlaw setup will not clean anything smaller than a 15" and the wilwoods need I believe a 16"
