300zx brakes anyone have em?
Sorry if I interupt anyone I am not good at posts (this only my second) Anyway just wondering if anyone else has modified a 240 with 300zx brakes and how much trouble was it to do? I have all the parts I just haven't started the conversion yet. I am swapping callipers, rotors, rear uprights and changing to five lugs. any input would be appreciated. thanx

You may also need a shim kit (recommended), brake hardware kit, clips and springs. All these item can be bought from your local nissan dealer but you must knoow what year your 300zx calipers
came from, aluminum or iron and turbo or na.

Well, I am doing a complete change-over 5 lug conversion and brakes. I have the front rotors, calipers, brake lines, 5 lug hubs (front), rear uprights, rear calipers, rear rotors, and rear brake lines all off of a '91 twin turbo Z, Except the front hubs, those are JDM Sylvia parts.

I got the front hubs at Courtesy Nissan, $100.00 each. The rest at a wrecking yard, prices vary depending on if they know what the parts are worth. I got lucky, only paid $250.00 for the whole set up front and rear. And as a bonus turns out they were off of a TTZ, which means the calipers are aluminum instead of the cast iron like the regular Z. If you are going to do it it's worth changing the rear uprights too aluminum on the Z means about 14lbs lighter VS cast for the stock units, rear Z brakes will bolt right up to the stock uprights if you are runnin short of cash or can't find the Z parts.
