The reason why I ask this is because Alex V is coming over to Chicago on the 20th and he's bringing all his struts and assembly for the rear off his 89 to convert my 93 GXE to rear disc, I also plan on gettin new rotors or calipers for it if they're all worn out but I noticed that they're different from 89 to 93..will I be having little teenie weenie calipers in the back? or are they about the same as the front ones?

so you guys with the rear disc suggest using your parking brake when you park the car everytime to prevent them from rusting/freezing since they arent used as much as the front ones are?

when my ex girlfriend and i were together she had my old white auto 89 Se and i had my black 90 Se 5 speed she was on the org but never really posted she just wasnt really into it as much as i was. Welcome to the org....i sold my maxima over a year ago and i still come and visit...and just recently i bought a sky blue 5 speed se just becasue i missed mine so much...but it just waiting to get finished up.

not sure how valid it is.
just lube up the sliders at the beginning of every winter and you should be fine.
I still have to fix this new ones sliders I can't afford to buy new calipers

Thats pretty good advice somehow I didnt think about that, just simply applying caliper grease with every brake job but not winter, I'll do that. Also by the way if you sell the front/rear caliper brackets how much do they cost, IM me or PM me if you want or just simply post it back here

so just to clarify this in one post. With the strut assembly that Alex is bringing by to convert my car to rear disc, I can convert it to z31 by purchasing a bigger caliper and/or bracket and just mounting it on directly without mods?

so its like this
92-94 Maxima rear calipers calipers w/bracket
1986 300zx rotors
.. so that completes a z31 conversion? if thats the way it is then it sounds simple enough.
My friend asked if having bigger rear brakes would require me getting a bigger brake master cylinder can anyone answer that?

Ill take pics too when I take mine off. Plus if I get some of the work done before I drive up, we might beable to start on your disc conversion.
Oh and about the 5 speed conversion, I was saying get the 5 speed conversion for yourself, and then put your auto box on her car or in the garage for a spare for her. Not some complicated tranny-hot potato story you dreamed up
