R31 Turbo arms have a internal drum handbrake with a vented rear rotor and single piston caliper. And if you want to upgrade then the 2pot R32 calipers are a 100% bolt on mod,

They bolt to 510/160j arms but have alot of toe in. You may be able to adjust this out with an adjustable rear cross member kit, Would also require a coil over shock conversion on a 510 but on a 280z this should be fine,

Finally made the other two brake caliper spacers for this tonight, haven't put them on the car yet, might do it tomorrow night so I can try and get a warrant for it this week or maybe next week.

Bought another set of big cams and two sets of Tomei lifter buckets, need to get one of the heads set up on the mill so I can clearance it for the cams, I got some more Supertech valve guides so I have everything to put one of them together.

Took this for a warrant finally today, failed on a front wheel bearing which isn't bad, I bought the hubs 2nd hand and they are probably the original bearings so they are between 15 & 20 years old. Will try and get a new one over the next couple of days.

Must have struck the right guy at Saeco, he's getting me down some hubs that should be the right ones and he gave me like a 50% discount off the retail price, here's hoping as they're like $590 for a pair from Nissan. Thought I may as well do both sides at the same time.

Hubs turned out to be the right ones, score. Swapped the studs over using the press at work this afternoon, put the new hub on tonight and reinstalled the brakes and wheel spacer, will get the wheel back on tomorrow and get it back on the ground. In for a recheck and hopefully a warrant on Wednesday. I bought two hubs so will do the other some time soon.

What hubs were they Daniel??
