Can you do the 300zx Brake upgrade to all four wheels???...i've looked around on the net and everywhere i looked there were only reviews and installs on just the front wheels...
can someone clarify this for me....i'm looking in to doing the upgrade soon...
Thanks
300zx Brake Upgrade....
yes you can, but you end up swapping a LOT of parts, heres one link:

thats got some good info, even though I dotn like SCC, its a interesting article.
I'll just be swapping the fronts because the 300ZX twin turbo brakes up front will be more than enough for my purposes, even road racing.
if I need something better, I'll contact wilwood or baer systems and get one made.

it includes the 300zx 4 piston aluminum calipers 5 hole roters that can be drilled to fit the 4 lug hub if required and a master cylender but isent nessary and the backing plates, you will need to go to pdm-racing.com to get the hose kit for $100.00 thats all you need.the rest is easy. although you might not be able to use stock 16 inch rims. Im not shure

You can but you need the rear hubs, back half of the cables (and IIRC still needs to be modified), or you could make your own. This is because it uses an external drum assembly for the e-brake. Ours is mechanical, and when the ebrake is pulled a lever is pushed forcing the rear piston into the rotor.

I do not mean to hijack the thread, but i did not want to start another similar topic. Can anybody post a pic of the back of the 7 spoke S13 alloy wheels that will clear the 26mm 300zx calipers. I would like to see if mine are the style that will clear them, so if my other wheels will not clear i can put my stock ones back on. Thanks!!

you can get all 4 brakes from the Z32 to work and the E-brake projectsilvia sells the lines for it, you will need to front brake lines and the e-brake line kit

Deeper rim
Here is a view of the deeper S13 rim
less clearence rim
Here is a shot of the rim with less clearence, The place I got these pictures said you would need at least a 15mm spacer to run the 30mm calipers compared to 5mm with the other rim casting. I am going to installing my 30mm calipers in a week or so. I'll see how big of a spacer I'll need then.
