Sweet choice for a project man. Ive seen and helped restore a few of these little guys in the past. If I remember correctly i think the 71’s were actually worth a bit back than, probably a little more now. Hey I cant remember exactly which year it was but i believe the rear brakes from a 300zx or 200sx was what my buddy used for a disk brake conversion in the back. Just something to tumble around the noggin.
Good luck with the project. Look forward to seeing more of it.
240sx brakes actually, with a bracket. I’ve heard late 80’s maxima brakes mount up too, but I’m using 350z brembos.
i have lots of OEM S13 parts on a parts car you can hack away at…
there are dozens of S13 rear brake calipers and associated hardware at our shop.
Thanks bing, but I’m using Z33 Brembo’s. The only modern 240sx bits on this car will be the KA-T, trans, and driveshaft.
you’re nuts…
hey, can you take a macro shot of a properly installed nutsert?
i think you should bring that tool up to Canada with you…
I think I will. 
Yes, it did, and I loved seeing it in the beat up, original, driving (assumed) condition. Just like I’ll be driving my 240z around this year (exterior condition wise).
This is about where I almost died when visibility got worse, as did road conditions, and there were no salt trucks or plows out, and a guy going 20mph less than me decided to pull out in front of me at the last minute. Going past 18 wheeler sideways half on the shoulder with 5 series touring loaded with parts = shit your pants scary.

Oh yeah, and I picked up a '95 KA24DE with uncut harness, all accessories, ecu, maf, trans, etc, etc.
woooo hoooo and an FMIC tomorrow.
Score dude!
Sorry I couldn’t stay for a minute tonight to catch up, I had to go to work. I’ll catch up with you tomorrow evening, I’ll be up.
Looks great man.
Negative Thief!!!
hey, I saw your car today when I was at innovative. I was gonna ask about it, but I didnt. Well now I dont have too 
I have a friend that might have some 300ZX TT brakes for sale if you’re interested…
he wants z33 brembos because he is a bag
usually you only read about this kind of originality and quality.
oh wait, i am.
From what year Z? PM me, I might be interested.
Haven’t worked on it much because “MPD is a bag”. Got working on stripping the engine bay though. Ordered a clutch, floors, subframe connectors/frame rail reinforcements, and the front subframe for the KA.
Starting to clean up, paint scraper and steel wool. I also discovered a small hole in the frame rail which you can see in the bottom right of that photo. It’s about an inch and a half long, by maybe 1/3 of an inch wide. Wont be a hard repair at all.
Progress coming along, I’d say I have the bay 60% stripped. I still have a lot of little holes that were drilled to fill and spot welds for old brackets to drill out. A significant amount of paint has been removed though. Currently my big debate is if I should remove the stock battery tray or not since the battery is being moved to one of the rear cubby holes.
:lol:
So true.
