I moved your thread from online to 240sx as it is not a diagnostic problem.

Z brake front swap is simple if you know where to get parts.

Auto Parts Stores and any brake shop can get you what you need.

Before you do (for example) the 30mm TT aluminum calipers, make sure you have wheels that will clear the larger caliper.

Use TT calipers, hoses, rotors.

Some people redrill the TT rotor to 4lug. Buy 5lug aftermarket hubs instead.

Some people also decide to keep their stock 240sx master cylinder in place. I chose the 1-1/16" nabco M/C. If you get this M/C, there is no need to drill out the fitting from your 240sx M/C and install it into the new M/C.Finding parts is so simple. Several sponsors offer various kits.If you order from a parts house simply ask for m/c, calipers, hoses, and rotors for a '90 300ZX TT. If you want, Phase2 offers stainless conversion lines which are hot.

is the 1-1/16" nabco M/C car model specific? what car is it from, so i can search it?

so with the 1-1/16" nabco M/C is it plug and play on S13?

I typed that in haste.Surprised nobody has corrected me yet. (I've since edited so the correct # shows)

1-1/16" M/C from TT '90 Z32. There are apparently still two brand M/C's available because the guy at the parts house asks, "tokico or nabco?"

Plug and play. We did my friend's car and my own with this M/C. The nissan P/N I have written down somewhere...

[NISTECH]

Skip the rotrs from the parts house. You can get much better rotors from our sponsers. If your on a budget that is. Go with a step up cross drilled or slotted rotors from stillen or something. They will still be the 300zx rotors

^^True dat

Its plug n play only if you have S13... S14's brake lines do not line up with the MC from a 300zx TT... It requires bending but I dont want to mess around with bending brake lines which is why I still have the stock MC

off topic: Whos the chic in your sig?

[ILikeMy240sx]

Kristen Kreuk... amazingly and awesomely hot HOT HOT lady...

[supervasil]

So basically what you guys are saying, if I get:

1. M/C from TT '90 Z32.2. 26mm calipers from '90 N/A Z32..... to clear my stock S13 alloy wheels (I've verified this on a previous thread)3. Rotors (drilled to 4-lug, of course)

everything should be plug and play on my '93 S13? no driling, bending or anything like that?

please assure me......

wow, a newbie with basic reading comprehension and knowledge of the search bar. i'm impressed. i don't mean to sound like an ***, i'm being serious.

yes, you are exactly right. except that you have to cut away part of the dust shield for the new larger rotor to clear. it's pretty self explanatory once you get in there, just have a pair of tin snips handy, or a sawzall. just make sure you watch out for the tie rod end.

oh and stainless steel brake lines that are made just for the conversion..
