I am getting the Z32 brake swap done to the front.I have been wondering if the stock 240SX front rotor, caliper, and lines would fit in the rear without much trouble.I am sure it can be made to fit, but what modifications are necessary?Thanks for the help!

yeah Im sure they may fit but ummmmmmm I like my e-brake. Its built into the caliper on the rears so your SOL it wont work.

I didn't want to start a new thread cus i found this while searching. I was wondering what the differenece between front and rear rotors is, if there is one. I was just curious because when I look for performance rotors all i see are front(yes I know rear doesnt really matter) but I was just interested. Thanks.

If you've seen pics of the front then you've seen how they have little vents through the center of it to help cool it, the rear rotors dont have this and are one solid piece, but much thinner.

Mounting bolts aren't in the same place. No e-brake is on the calipers. The previous two rule it out for anyone but a master metal worker who is just doing it for some insane unique points. And I still don't think you could make the e-brake work. In short, no, it won't work, at all, spend some time reading and learning more.
