I am considering a z32 26mm front brake upgrade on my 1990 240sx, does anybody know if these rotors/calipers will fit in my stock 12-hole 15 inch aluminum rims? Also, if i get the brakes from the scrap yard, will i need any special adaptors for the brake lines to connect? i searched.thanks

I believe they will bolt right up. I have the same upgrade on my S14 with my stock SE wheels they fit fine. Now I upgraded my wheels and I had to use a 10mm spacer to clear the caliper. So I guess it depends on your wheels.

You didn't search at all. This is the most covered topic in the history of NICOdom.

All the information you want on Z brakes is right under your nose. We don't hide it.

You will need conversion lines as Z brakes use a flared fitting to hold the line to the brake whereas 240s use a banjo bolt.
