Wow, thats funny because when I put in "300zx brake swap" I found all the answers....

But since I guess there is something wrong with my computer, or your eyes, I'll answer the question...

You will need at the least rotors, calipers, and pads. You can redrill the rotors to 4 lug so that all you need is what I stated.

If you wanted to swap to 5 lug you will need...rotorscaliperspadsS14 spindlesS14 5 lug hubsZX upright (this is optional)wheels

It is an easy conversion and can be done on an ABS equipped vehicle.

You can get the rotors off any 90-96 model, there are some differences though. The early ones use 26mm wide rotors and will fit behind your wheels easier while the later ones are 30mm. I think all the 26mm calipers are aluminum and the 30mm's come in aluminum and iron.

You will need the calipers, rotors and pads.

HeavyThrotle.com sells all the parts you need including the drilled rotors.
