CANADIAN 300zx brake swap

[scuba_sean]

hey, im looking to do a 300zx front brake swap, but calling around to wreckers led me to find that "canadian models were made. has anyone from up here in the great white north done this? do the brakes from a canadian 300 fit the canadian 240?? or could someone in the US of A give me their casting numbers? the wrecker says he ca cross-referance them. thanks guys

How far is Alberta from Nebraska? I've got some 300zx rotor/calipers here at the salvage yard. I've been eyeing them for a while, but I'm spending money on suspension at the time, so I may not get around to doing the brake swap yet.

I wonder if they fit under the stock SE 15in rims?

Yes, that is a good way to go, because they provide all of the necessary parts(except for power booster), but it is 950 bucks. If you can scrounge the parts together and have them machined, you could do it for 600 bucks or less. Rotors I could get here for 30 bucks, but they don't have calipers.

You can do all four corners for less than $600, why pay $950 for fronts only? The Canadian models have the same brakes as far as I know, even if they don't any S13/S14/S15/Z32/R32/R33/R34 brake setup is interchangeable, so there's something out there for you.

What part of Alberta are you in? I'm in Fort McMurray

BTW you signature says, camero, its camaro dude.

What wreckers are you calling? I'm trying to find a used trunk lid for my 89 240 coupe.

As far as the brakes go, I think you can safely get the 300zx calipers and they'll fit but don't take my word on it. For this information I wouldn't have listened to scrap yard staff for specifics about parts.

All the ones that I called didn't think the newer 91+ front end would fit on an 89/90.

[lbrowne]

Hate to bug ya, but if you had a phone number or an email for that specific Pick Your Part I'd greatly appreciate it.
