240z front brake question , - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I just bought my 72 z and the brakes have an issue. The front brakes drag really bad sometimes. I think the calipers or proportioning valve might be bad. Is there anything else it might be ? Also are there any options for upgrading the brakes without spending a ton ? Thanks

find yourself a 240z fsm online and make sure that everything is in spec.
as for the brake upgrade, do a google search. zilvia is more oriented for 240sxs, sign yourself up on some Z specific forums and read, search, read, search, and read some more before you ask any questions. most likely all your questions have been asked and answered 100 times over

Best thing to do is just get in there and see whats going on. You should change the brake fluid anyway. Take everything apart and polish it up and reinstall. I recommend Hybridz.org for anything S30...
