350z caliper upgrade needs new knuckles?

[420sxWETDREAMS]

I was doing the big brake upgrade and notice the bolts that go on the caliper from the 350z dont fit the knuckle that is in the 240sx. Anyone?

Are you trying to fit the 350z Brembos on your car?
I think the fronts bolt up, but for the rear you might need to get a custom brackets made to adapt them to your knuckles.

I'm actually putting the same wheels you have and I am putting the stock 350z calipers on the stock knuckles. The original bolts go through the knuckle fine, but dont fit the bigger bolt needed to go on the caliper. Is it safe to but the original bolt with washers on both sides and a nut to secure it? My DD sentra just died and I need the 40 to dail drive now.

I think people drill out the knuckle to accept the larger 350z caliper bolt, but I haven't researched it in a while.

I thought about that, and I have done quite a bit of research and cant believe I haven't seen or heard of this issue or seen a write up of some sort. Considering this is done almost every time some one upgrades and nothing?!

should be fairly bolt on even for the brembos... IIRC the 350z brakes are a bolt on upgrade for 300zx soooo if the z32 brakes bolt on to ours cars then the z33 brakes have to as well
