Finally finished urgrading my brakes. Unlike many I decided to keep the 4 lug cause I got a deal on some pre-drilled Z32 rotors. That and I can't afford new wheels. I installed some 60mm Nismo studs while I was at it cause my wheels wouldn't clear the 30mm aluminum calipers and I ended up needing spacers. I would do a write up but 1: it has been done to death already and 2: profanity is prohibited. All in all very easy conversion if everything goes right.

Here is the link for pics.

You have a beautiful car man. Are you planning on lowering it? I think that would make it look real good.

When I get my 240 (hopefully soon) I plan on doing that Z32 brake conversion as well. Good to know it's easy. :-p

??? I got Eibach Sportlines and KYB Gr-2's. Not exactly slammed but just the right amount I think. My fender liner is removed maybe that is why there still seems to be some gap. I already have to be careful on driveways and speed bumps, maybe some day I'll go all out and get some coil overs.

nice job rudee. question about ur eibachs, any camber issues? and is the fender liner that plastic that lines the inside of the fender? (i know i know, i should know this). also are those the calipers from the 300zx TT or NA? and how are those gr2s holding up? what size of a spacer did u use and whats the offset on those rims?

Jookmasta: I got an Ingalls (sp?) camber kit on the front. Yes, the liner is the plastic on the inside of the fender. The brakes are from a TT. They are the 30mm rotors with aluminum calipers. I believe off of a 92. I required 12mm spacers. The Gr-2's are second only to the AGX's which I would have gotten had they been available to me at the time.

Jookmasta: The spacers are ghetto universals until I recieve my H&R hubcentric spacers. About $100 for the set.
