*sigh* When I said try posting in the 240sx general forum, I didn't mean repost the same question. I pretty much answered all your questions in the thread you made in the test forum. Searching first is also wicked awesome. People will like you.

hey new guy.

i dont understand what you are trying to do by "bolting breaks (sic) to your silvia diff." seems like it would make an interesting paperweight?

the limiting factors on upgrading your brakes, calipers and rotors, is whether or not you have the proper hub to accept the rotor and enough clearance for them to actually fit.

please explain the point in posting several random pictures with your text, im soooooo confused by this thread.

I'm going to go ahead an assume you are an ESL poster.

I know you can put 300ZX brakes on an S13, but I have not heard of 350Z or G35 brakes being retrofitted.

LOL @ responses...

next time search before you make youself look like a tard (no offense)...

and why the random pictures? haha..

anyways... go z32 brakes, theyre 4 piston and enough stopping power for whatever needs you have. Theyre direct bolt on.

Z33 and G35 brakes are not a direct bolt on, iirc, you'll need to drill the caliper holes in the hub to make it bigger to fit or something like that... and your diff is irrelevant to any caliper or rotor.

and try not to break anything either

Ok, so, I moved your thread, fixed the title with proper spelling and answered your question with impeccable spelling and diction. You need the SPL adapter which is out of production to run Z33 brakes .

Oh yes, by the way, I have just consumed approximately the better part of a fifth of Scotch whisky and am still able to redirect you to http://www.dictionary.com

JFWY noob.

at least make your posts semi-legible, otherwise you wont get any responses because nobody can understand what you are trying to say.
