I read like 20 threads on the 5 lug and brake upgrade from a 300zx. I'm trying to figure all this out im having some difficulty. Im getting the rear hubs, rear calipers, e-brake line, and the MC. According to all the threads they should work perfectly with no modification. They will be from the 1990 NA Z32 (which has the 26mm AL rotor. Nothing really states in those threads if the front hubs will work. I understand the calipers will. Can the Front hubs work? What do I need if so? If not I will go S14, with upright and all. I do understand having to get aftermarket brake lines for the front. Sorry if this seems drawn out. I've did alot of research so far and starting to get confused. Please Clarify someone!!!

As far as I know the front hubs from a 300ZX do not work on a 240.

rears get the backing plates all the way out to the rotors and you'll be set.

fronts, you'll need 5 lug conversion hubs. z32 hubs don't work.
