Hey, my brakes are pretty much worn and I was interested in getting a bigger brakes. What (aftermarket) options do I have other than the OEM Nissan upgrades? Thanks.

AP, Brembo and Stoptech make brake systems for the 300ZX. With some minor modification to accomodate the 4 lug hubs, you should be able to make them fit. Most systems like this are upwards of $2000. And you will need to make sure your wheels can clear them.

Any reason why you don't just use the Z32 brakes? They are plenty of brake for most 240sx's. If you wanted something a little more reasonable, you might try getting a hold of the brakes from a Skyline. The New 350 Track Model Brakes would probably fit too. I hear they are the same as the R34 VSpec brakes. Some other skylines used some Brembos too.

Depends on how much you can find them for. Stillen Sells them new for the Z. I'm sure they are a little costly. Z Brakes can be obtained quite cheap since the car was availabe here. Skyline brakes are much less available, and the cost will correspond with that. You'll have to do some searching to find them and a price.

I cant seem to understand why brakes are sooo expensive. Like... Endless Calipers are more expensive than their aluminum bodied coilovers. :(
