I know search but I have and find too many no you need this and then someone else comes and says NO NO NO you dont need that so....

What exactly do I need to do the rear I have a 300zx NA donor car so please give the specifics....

HubBlah BlahEtc....

Is it true I can't do the fronts with the same car?

Last but not least I might as well get the calipers so what do I need to put them on my s13 from the 300zx? Please give me a list thanks people.

i have the 300 front brakes on. im looking to upgrade the brake booster and master cyl. i testdrove a s14 with that set up and it stops hard and fast. no sponge. no brake fade. the front is pretty strait forward. you need to get a front brake line converstion to be safe but you can use your oe lines from the s13. as for the rear your going to nee the knuckle hubs and uprights from the 300. im not sure what you have to do the ebrake cable but i know you have to modify it to make it work. but i hear its alot of good things. and its pretty easy to do. just be sure its na

As long as its a Z32 nonTT, your okay. If its a TT "than its a bear of a different kind haha" you will need rear hubs and axles.

NonTT z32 is same as J30 and stock 240sx Se hubs, stock axles fit.With Z32 you will be able to do rear "Z32, Skyline" brake conversion, meaning 2-piston calipers and drum parking brakes (e-brakes).

But in order to do this you will need Z32/Q45 backing (dust) shields, rotors, hubs, Z32 calipers (skyline), (R33 e-brake cables) or (Z32 2+2 cables are supposed to be a little bit longer than regular Z32) hardware kit (springs etc), shoes, pads. Think that's all the parts u need.

I you just want 5-lug and nothing else.. Z32 NonTT, J30, 95+ 240sx SE rear hubs, 5-lug rotors 95+ 240sx Se (or drill u'r 4-lug) and of course 5-lug wheels haha, As for dust shield think their okay, only if you would do "z32 TT brakes" u would have to change them.

Z32 TT and Z32nonTT axles and hubs are NOT THE SAME!!!!!!!

Oh I see you said 300zx NA, is that N/A as in naturally aspirated, than it Z32nonTT or Z32N/A , 300zxN/A what ever you want to call it

And about the fronts, I dont really remember but think hubs are different, and spindles are usless. Unless the calipers are 4-pistons aluminium, think you could just use the rotors from it.

Maybe hubs would fit S14's but don't think S13 will fit. But I'm not really familiar with Z32 front setup.

You could use the rear uprights, they should be aluminium, but you would need JIC coilovers, or similar where you can change the bottom mount of strut for 300zx style.

n/a is non turbo. naturally aspirated same thing different terms. i used ichiba front hubs when i did the brake upgrade. and as you said the spindles are useless for the fronts. thank you for catching what i didnt mention my main thing was for the brakes tho, i didnt do the five lug swap with the 300zx n/a just stole its front brakes. but as as far as everything else its almost a direct drop in, besides using different e brake cables, axles suspension for the rear and different hubs for the front. anything else i didnt mention? thanks for catching that tho not trying to be sarcastic
