I believe the J30 brakes will fit behind the stock wheels. Also, if you can get your hands on a certain set of 7-spoke SE alloys from 91-93, the 26mm Z32 brakes will fit.

If you have the stock larger 180sx brakes you want maxima 89-94 calipers / pads up front and altima 93-00 rotors as straight replacements. You can't use std 240sx ss lines however, you'll have to get creative w/ zipties like I did or find some that fit properly.

the CA18 powered Silvias and 180sx i BELIEVE had the same size rotors etc as the USDM 240sx.

Easy way to confirm that is if anyone knows if the 240SXs had smaller diameter rotors than the SR20DET powered silvias..

I know the CA ones are smaller tha the SR powered S13s.Atleast according to boost cruising..http://www.boostcruising.com/silvia/sr20brakes.asp

Confirm it first though, or maybe see if any friends with 240s have a rotor lying around..
