i have a friend who has 300z front brake calipers that he wants to sell me and says they would bolt right on and improve my breaking. i read a bunch of people do this but they use the rotor too. hes says i dont need the rotor cause they fit my s13 rotors. is this true, should i buy them, and how much should i pay for them if tru?

Get the rotors also. You'll only get better braking with them. You can get some drilled and spotted ones for 4 and 5 lug on ebay. It's what I'm using. You'll also need stainless steel braided conversions lines for it. Just look it up and youll see. Hmmm for just calipers? Maybe 200 ish for just calipers. Make sure they are z32 calipers too. Don't get ripped off buying z31 ones

you need the rotor, they are bigger and different thickness than the 240. try to get it as cheap as possible. try $100 lowball him he is your friend lol. he might hook you up

I spent roughly 400 on my front setup alone. Worth every penny.

You guys are paying alot for your calipers.Around here, Z32 calipers go for $100-$150 in good condition. eBay prices are about the same from what I have seen.

There are also three different Z32 calipers.Use this guide to find out which caliper you are buying, so you can buy the correct rotors (there was a 26mm and a 30mm).http://www.importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm
