J30 5 Lug

[b0rdin4life]

I just picked up a wrecked 93 J30 and I have someone who is interested in the 5 Lug off the car as long as it will fit the 240. I have searched and searched and I keep getting mixed information. The most consistent information is that only the rear will swap over to the 240. Can anyone tell me if the 5 Lug is swappable and if so, if the front and rear will work? Any info would be great. Thanks.

front won't work. it interchanges with Z32, not the S chassis.rear will work, just like the Z32 with uprights and might as well sell the brake kit too.The shafts and diff are also interchangeable with the s chassis, so hang on to that too.

Can I use the brakes off the J30 as an upgrade for my S14? Thanks for the info.

[SmithSR]

Yes. The rears especially. Look to the rears for a thicker and vented rotor as opposed to the s chassis solid.

Q45tech has mentioned this several times as a great find.

[b0rdin4life]

Awesome, thanks. I tried looking up Q45tech posts but didn't see the one about the brakes. Do you happen to know if it's a simple upgrade and also what is involved? Thanks again.

Very similar to installing rear Z brakes. The j30 rears are the same as 97-01 Q45 rears. You'll need the parking brake drums from the J30.

Heres a good write-up you can use.http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm#rearbrake

Getting ahold of all the parts off the car won't be an issue because I have the whole car. Any other upgrades I can take off the car besides the diff? Thanks.

I assume your grabbing the front brakes as well. They are very similar to the 90-96 Q brakes. Same sized rotor, and the calipers look very similar. I havent been able to find a J30 FSM to determine if they are in fact identical.

The MAF is the same as a Z32 MAF. You should grab that as well.

The front J brakes are the same as the front Q brakes ..

Anyway... I would suggest posting up the parts for sale in the infiniti parts if you havent already...

I was searching and couldn't find anything except for this. Can you use the j30 parking brake assembly with z32 rear calipers on an s14?

[SmithSR]

cables and shoes interchange with the knuckles, so an S chassis knuckle or Z knuckle will accept S, Z, or J rear brakes and parking brake.

[hannibal]

^ Yep. And I believe the Q45's (90-96 G50) can be used too. I dont know about the cables though. I'm guessing the sedans' cables are longer than the Z cables so that shouldnt be a problem.

Wow dude.. J30 rear hubs work on the 240?? I can get them for $15...
