brake conversion kit

Well I am new to this. I just bought a 1977 280z from a friend and want to do some work on it. Does anyone know where I can find a drum to disk conversion kit for that or if they even make one?

I did mine using '82 280zx rotors and calipers, '82 Maxima caliper brackets, I have more info but these are the main items, you can reuse your e-brake cable. Make sure that the bleeders on the calipers are on top to bleed them properly. You will have to remove the stub axle to remove the existing brake backer plates. Let me know if you need additional info.

Unless you are racing or you personally weigh 500lbs. ...you are wasting your time and money. Get the stock brakes installed, bled and ADJUSTED properly. They'll do all you demand in normal or even fairly aggressive street driving. Stay away from the replacement STEEL rear drums.
