Finally I found an intermediate set of brakes for the 240sx. i wanted more than a stock Z32 set, but not the huge (and expensive) Brembo 13.1", then i found this. Looks pretty f-ing good

I like the Rotora too, but since it's 13" you'd have to run at least 17" wheels and hopefully those Fastbrakes can go in 16" wheels(Which is what i want)

Is there any chance the 350Z rotors would fit on a 240SX? The non-track seems to have decent sized rotors(bigger than 11.1" of the 300ZX/Q45 rotors?) - but the Track Model has some fawkin' huge rotors for a stock car. No exact sizes, but they were noticeably larger than my 12.4" front and 12.5" rear stock rotors.

There's got to be something cheaper than $1400 big brake kits that offer performance inbetween the 11.1" rotors and 2/4 piston Nissan calipers and some 13" BBK.

I thought hub bore was consistent throughout the lineup, at 66.06

The only exceptions that I can think of are: '88-00 NX2000, Pulsar, Sentra FWD 13"/14" wheel 4x100 bolt pattern cars, and'94-01 200sx with either 13"/14" wheels, which used the same 4x100 bolt pattern.

These cars used a 59.20 hub bore.

Every other car nissan has made has been 4-4.5/5-4.5 and has had a 66.06 hub bore. Could be wrong about the absolute newest units, but every '02 has 66.06 hub bore....

The bore would be the same but I have never seen anyone swap out the calipers etc... I don't know if this would be a direct swap like the Q45 seems to be.

Hmmm... wonder if Autozone has "rebuilt" 350Z Track model Brembos in stock? :D

I'm sure that if you managed to find a set, they'd cost almost as much as an aftermarket BBK due to the rarity. :(
