brake and 5 lug upgrade

what can you use from a z32/300zx to upgrade a 89 240sx's braking and lug patterns i see a lot of info here but nothing specific for S13/180sx's.

Would i need the rotors and hubs from what model and year 300zx/z32 or what exactly.

rear assemblies....what?

Rear hubs from a Z32 bolt on. You'll need either S14 hubs (and a little custom work) or aftermarket ones for the front. Then slap on the calipers and rotors. You'll need custom lines for the calipers which can be bought at a number of places and www.projectsilvia.com sells a adapter for the Z32 parking brake.

You'll need the S14 spindles to use S14 hubs... or those cool 5 lug adapters you found.

You Can Drill your Lug Pattern. Many have done IT and it is 100% safe..
Got Q's, run a Search for brake upgrade and drilling on www.northwestnissans.com site..

Attain makes 5 lug hubs that bolt on, but you'll need to import them.

so iwas checking out the junkyards replacing my parts and i saw the 300zx and the front up rights have and added arm or support arm over the 240's what is this and how would you incorporate that for swapping out struts and stuff.

I have looked at swap guides and nobody says anything about the "Z" looking arm?
