Ok I'm too lazy and tired to go through and read every Z31 post to find what I'm looking for. My question is will Z31 calipers fit on OEM sized rotors on an S14. I want to upgrade to a bigger caliper for more aggressive braking but I don't have the time or money to do a full F/R 5 lug conversion on my 4 lug S14. Is it possible to use fit the calipers from the Z31 or even the Z32 on stock 4 lug rotors or will I have to do the 5 lug conversion to get eh added stopping power the 300Z brakes have?

I beleive I saw somewhere that you do not have to have 5 lug for the TT Z32 conversion, it was a kit if a remember correctly. Yet I do not know if stock alloys will clear the brakes ir not.

Z31/S12 V6 rotors are 274 x 22mm.Z32 rotors are 280 x 30mm (90NA is 280 x 26mm).S14 rotors are 252 x 20mm, so the Z31 or Z32 calipers wont fit on your stock rotors.

You dont have to have 5 lugs to use Z brakes. Just buy Z rotors and have them redrilled to the 4 lug pattern. Use the Z calipers and your 4 lug Z rotors, and presto, Z brakes on a 4 lug hub.

PDM-Racing.com has a kit that includes KVR rotors already redrilled to the 4 lug pattern.
