I have searched the web for the last fifteen minutes and haven't been able to find a company that sells them as a kit. It doesn't have to be a kit dedicated to the 240 Im just trying to find a company that sells them. If you know of one or have bought a kit from one. please let me know. ThanksHappy Driving

There is no kit for the 240sx. Everybody runs custom setups.

I got mine from this australian shop http://seemore.com.au/checkin.php , price is decent transfering the money is kind of a pain tho (aus dollar is more than US it looks expensive at first)

Then go to harbour freight and get a flare tool kit for 10$, some teflon thread sealer, and some old brake lines.

Heres some pics i just shot for you, excuse the dust:

Thanks but honestly the way it is set up now it is slightly better than the stock ebrake. I will soon mount it on the floor and make a much longer handle for it for leverage, for these ebrakes to be effective you need huge muscles or lots of leverage apparently.

I was looking on NASIOC subaru forums and apparantly there are places that sell better kits and are in the USA. So search those forums you might find a better solution

don't get hung up on that, my flare tool kit was a 9.99 harbour freight special

Teflon tape is always a good idea as long as its not on the mating surface, not obstructing flow, and not preventing something from a good ground contact.

You are correct it might have been your tool i used to have a china brand cheepy and it did not always work the best.But the important part is that you got the job done and it works properly.Quick question thou you said you need a longer handle for more leverage to get it to lock up better, initially is it any better than stock? I was interested in doing this mod to my s13 but don't wan't to go to that extent.

i wanted an instant lock up when I installed this and it definately did not turn out the way i wanted. The way it is now it is pretty much exactly like the stock ebrake. The way mine is set up right now is not worth it, i will get back to this thread when i add a longer lever and flip it 180 to make it push type instead of pull.

If you want an effective ebrake setup it has to be much more hardcore than mine is all I know
