I bought an '85 vintage posi rear end for my '80 RX7. The newer rear has disc brakes while my car has drums. What changes, if any, do I have to make to the proportioning valve and master cylinder to accomodate this swap?

the pitch on the rear hydrolic lines are different but i hear u can get little atapters to make em fit. but i wana know more abou this too because i might also be doing this soon. but i will be changing over the whole hydrolic lines

change the whole rear with the supensions and everything...

rotor vs. piston

other than the brack lines you'll need to change the E-brake lines. I've just did this myself and those e-brake lines like to be a PITA.

everything is pretty much covered. just make sure the 'new' rear is not of GSL-SE fame. different lug pattern. and add limited slip fluid. good to go !

anyone have a complete disc/lsd rear end they want to sell to me.

It needs to fit in a 82 and no SE axles.

Thread pitch on the lines are different, the rear pinion flange will have to be changed to the one from the 80.

Everything else is a bolt in, easy swap.

I just did this swap yesterday. Was very straight forward and pretty easy. I did have to switch the brake liones though..... Kinnda sucks, I just bought a set of Braided lines and now the rear wont fit.....

It should be hard if you grabe the entire e-brake cable. All you have to do is: 1) remove the e-brake cover. 2) loosen the long stud whatever holding the e-brake. 3) slide it out and slide the new one in.

and when your tightening it, count how many times the adjuster clicks. Usually, I go by 10 clicks.
