i tried a few searches under "brake swaps" "z brakes" 300Z brakes" and "Z32" and nothing or no help.....and lookin on the install and faqs page on 240sx.org i wasn't able to find anything there......so here goes my newb questions and request...

can anyone tell me the differences from the non turbo and turbo version? is it 26 mm and 30mm? i take it its in width? pictures to show?

i m not even sure what version i have......aluminum thats for sure.....

is there visual differences? someone enlighten me on the Z is there a good Z faqs webpage?

i know the rear swap is tough according to some friends, but if i wanted to do it what would i need? spindle, hub, dust shield, ebrake assembly, is there anything else besides the Stainless Steel lines? who makes the rear 300Z to S13 lines? would it be the same as the front? but just shorter?

nono is confused

the 26mm was available only on the non turbo 90 models, it uses the smaller 26mm pistons and smaller pads and a slightly thinner rotor, I have no idea what will swap on to the 240sx but I'd guess it's the much more common 30mm units the 26mm units can be had for about $50 each rebuilt at autozone, I have no idea what they sell the larger ones for and they have no idea what kind of cores you give them so long as you return them some sort of callipers
