Welcome to ZDriver!

79-81 280zx's had one kind of rear brakes, 82-83 had another. So to answer your question: calipers from an 82 or 83.

can you swap the brakes say 82-83 onto the 79-80 is there an advantage cuz on of the rotors is bigger and uses different pads.

Fronts are the same, rears are different.
