S14 SE hubs.

5 lug rotors. Either new ones or your old ones redrilled.

The only real benifit is a better choice of wheel sizes. Specifically offsets.

^That about covers it. If you have no luck finding some items, the rear you can use N/A Z32 hubs and bearings.

Also, aftermarket 5 lug conversion hubs are reverse engineered from Nissan hubs. Call them identical.

Any auto shop can sell you just the bearings, and press them into your hubs, if you decide not to do 5lug kit.

Braided lines.You should not try to use the factory brake lines as the 240sx and 300zx use different style fittings at the caliper.

Phase2 sells them and any good local shop can make them or know who can.

What about Master Cylinder?
