I know this has been discussed alot, but I have several specific questions. first off, I recently wrecked my car and it bent the rear right hub and knuckle. I have a complete 300z all to myself and want to put the brakes, lsd, hubs, etc. onto my car.

now, Im goin to use the rear hubs from the 300 and probobly the knuckle as well since its lighter and free. how can I modify either the stock 300 suspension or something that will work untill I can afford custom coilovers in several months?? has anyone done this and how??

also, has anyone retained the parking brake and how did you do this? I know it has to be rigged up somehow, just not exactly sure how. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Josh

the Z32 shocks should bolt in i believe. The bolt pattern on the hat is the same as the bolt pattern on the S14's (and S13's for that matter I believe). I've put in rear struts for a Z32 and for my S13, but I've never tried to see if the Z32 struts would line up properly in the 240.

here's a very thorough step by step of Z32 brake installation. he hasn't resolved the issue of the parking brake yet, though.
