Welcome to NWD

These should still be available through rockauto.com(Like peanutbuttercups mentioned)
Except for the struts.

If you can afford it new is better! But maybe someone on here has a known good set of brakes/struts for this guy?

How is that possible? Where do you live?

Have you made a thread to introduce yourself and your car?
Or are the only posts you have made were asking for parts?

Would perhaps help to know what year these are for. For one thing there were two different types of rear calipers used on the zx.

So can a old style master clyinder off the 280zx (two vertical bolts instead of horizontal) plug right into a 510? Will the m/c work with newer style rear calipers?

For the most part.

The 15/16" or 7/8" MC is what everone tries/wants to get when going to 4 wheel discs.

7/8 was made for front disc and rear drum so it works pretty perfect.

Not entirely true.
There are 7/8" MCs for disc/disc and disc/drum.

Late model 280s and the earliest of the 280zxs will be disc/disc cars that use a 7/8" MC.

flat, there weren't any 280s with disc/disc. didn't pop up until the zx in 79, and from everything I can find, those had 15/16 masters. only thing I can find that had a 7/8 master and disc rears were the 200sx's
