Hey need some help would the endless 6 piston calipers go on the 240sx, well actually the whole front brake upgrade. Its for the skyline but arent skyline brake swaps possible on 240s just like the 300zx is, so why wouldnt aftermarket work. Thing is i dont know what kinda wheel setup i need, so thats the other question, i also assumed if it worked i would need a bigger master cylinder, five lug is a given too, so can you guys point me in the right direction.

Here is where i saw them, http://www.nengun.com/endless/...6-potGot the inspiration from Jtuned where the HKS S15 has them

Ain't that the truth. Nissan 4 Piston's would be more than adequate. Anything more that is purely for look at me baller status on a non-track car.

Well its both, they have a drift/grip track at the local raceway, and its also a street car, but brake fade on the stockers is killer, i just wanted to see what kind wheel size i would need.

Anything bigger than 4 pot is overkill on a 240, but since I am a nice guy....

If you want to clear 6 pistons endless brakes you will need at least: 17X8 with +20 offset or less (meaning a lower number). Hope that helps.

Except offset is 100% irrelevant when it comes to clearing brakes. Spoke design is key.

True but with less offset it usually gives you more clearance. Since he didn't say what wheels he was looking at I'm doing the best I can...

if you want the brakes on the old hks s15 youll want that $2,935 one there

and you better have a lot more stuff done elsewhere that youre spending 6 times what you need to on brakes

you dont need these for the occasional local track time in a 95% street driven car...

get better tires, z32 front brakes and decent pads, and put good fluid in, and your fade will be gone for 1/6th of the cost of the endless kit alone, nevermind the $800 sets of brake pads you need to buy for them

Well to be blatantly honest I dont really plan on getting the skyline brakes, i just saw the article on jtuned and subsequently saw the kit for sale on nengun was wondering. I cant find any 300zx brakes locally and the best bet to me looks like the Wilwood brakes up front, i have a friend who says they are a great set.But one day when i win the lottery....

Can you get ebrake cables at a decent price? The a$$ that owned the car before me, ran the ebrake line in a ****ty place, so the driveshaft cut through it. I have the 30 mm 300zx brake conversion. I have heard it is the 2+2 cables that I need. Just tossing it out there, let me know if it is a possibility.
