Can I do a rear brake conversion for my 89 240? It currently has drum brakes and I'm doing the fronts from a 93 Q45. Just wandering what was involved to do the rears as well, if possible. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks.- Jay

not sure. i don't guess i new that any 240 had drum brakes. a popular brake upgrade is the 300zx calipers and rotors on the front, and i know the rear rotors from the Z can be put on the 240 also, but it is a bit harder to do. i dont' know about those drum brakes though???

It doesn't have drum brakes in the rear. I don't know what I was thinking. It is 4-wheel disc brakes. And it is a bolt-on mod from the Q45. Just have to have the rotor re-drilled for the 240 hub and you have to switch out the parking brake.

Later.- Jay
