82 zx calipers on 80zx?
Will I be able to swap 82 rear calipers onto an 80zx and vice versa or will the lines not work? Thanks

It wont work. After 81 they changed the style of the rear brakes entirely.

You would have to swap the entire control arm and rotors. So really at that point you may as well just swap out the entire rear subframe
