So as the title states this is my brake / wheel install. So i have a 93 240sx hatch. Its a 4 lug and i wanted to go 5 for better wheel options so i decided while i was at it i would go ahead and do the 300zx brake upgrade. I traked down a complete 300zx brake setup with the aluminium 30mm front brakes and the complete rear knuckle with the calipers, rotors,E-brake cables, hubs every thing. i also got the master cylinder as well. So the next thing i orderd was the front 5 lug hubs, stainless braded conversion lines, hawk street spec pads, and Dot 4 ultra high temp brake fluid. I decided to powder coat the calipers as i wanted to do it right the first time. so i went with a black gloss with a polished "NISSAN" logo and then it was cleared. I also painted my new master cylinder black with high temp paint. I used a wire wheel on my rotory tool to clean/polish all bolts and hardwear. The rear calipers were powder coated glossblack and cleard. I have megan racing street coilovers( and before you say it i know not the best but i got them before i started taking my time and doing things right the first time,) Here are some pic's of some of what i had done.
this is a pick of my setup now with the coilovers and not the z brakes.
I ordered my wheels Yesterday enkie RPF1 17x8+35 front and 17x9.5+38 rear with falken 615k tires. And i guess i should give you some back round i have an sr swap with a stock sized turbo at 10psi. Front mount intercooler,3in exhuast,short throw shifter, ACT lightwiegt flywheel and stage 3 clutch,oil filter relocation kit,custom routed wiring harness, turbo timer,aluminium radiator. and some other stuff i cant think of off the top of my head.
It ran a 14:002 with my shi** shi** reaction time of 1.02 sec and first gear will not hook up so i am hoping the wider and better tires will help with that but my goal is't for the 1/4 mile i like the road course more but havent had a chance to run on yet mainly because i'm in the army and its hard to find time to get to the track.
So let me know what you think and any ideas or sugestions would be awesome thanks,
