ZCG Big-Brakes For Jose’s Datsun 260z

Jose N is the owner/operator of JB Mobile Detailing and he has been detailing ZCG’s fleet for many years. One of the reasons why he’s our detailer is because he is a Nissan/Datsun enthusiast. This is Jose’s turbocharged 260z running a fuel-injected 3 liter L-series backed by a 240sx 5-speed, R200 rear end, full suspension and 3-pc Panasport C8 wheels…but what was he lacking?


He had a Porsche 993 Turbo brake-kit installed over a decade ago at Scott Performance in Santa Clara. Although this kit worked well, it required a master cylinder change:

 

This was common with many big-brake kits on the market: a host of custom pieces, aftermarket proportioning valves, items needing infinite adjustment, and no parking brake.  That’s where ZCG Big-Brakes for small wheels come in:

 
 

We replaced Jose’s 993TT brakes with the ZCG Big-Brakes and parking brake option:

 
 

We also installed a set of ZCG CV axles.

 

The CV axle installation is straightforward, Jose’s existing CV axles were replaced with ZCG units L and R:

 
 
 

Jose is Enjoying The Ride with the ultimate brakes and CV axles on his boosted Z!  You can see more ZCG customer cars running our Big-Brakes and CV axles below:
