300z brake upgarde
Is the 300z brake upgrade just for the front brakes or the front and rear ?

You can do the rear also, but since its a little more difficult people just upgrade the rear rotors, pads and lines

You have to run the whole hub assembly from the 300ZX or Skyline. It's the easiest anyway. I used a R33 rear end and transfered the LSD, axles, hubs, and calipers all over to a 240 subframe.

would the Z axels fit on a 240? I mean are they long enuff? I kno the LSD'll fit in, which is also wut Im salvaging from my Z... but is it possible to use the Z axels? or could I reuse my S14 axels?

And, you don't need to swap over EVERYTHING to get the benefits of rear Z brakes. The calipers and rotors will bolt to the S rear spindles. If you're 4 lug, you'll need to modify the rotors to accept the 4 lug pattern. And, the calipers bolt right up. Now, if you want to keep an e-brake, thats an entirely different story.

How did you install your Ebrake cable? I did a rear Z32 with ebrake conversion on S14. Now i have a problem installing the ebrake cable. Does anyone has a better way to install the ebrake cable? Insteal of cutting and clip them together? Plase HLEP buntavy@yahoo.com

front brakes just require the Z32 rotors, Calipers and Z32 to S__ brake lines...and then the removal of the dust shield.
the rears you can just bolt on the Z32 calipers, Rotors, and Z32 to S__ brake lines BUT you lose your ebrake. for the ebrake to work you need the Z32 drum brake assembly. and then you remove the dust shield.
