so i have a 1990 240sx hatchback, and im trying to do the 300zx front brake conversion but im confused because their is a 30mm and a 26 mm rotor which one fits my car, thats were im confused. can i put either one. and which ones do you guys recommend for my car. also another noob question what do i need for the 300zx rear brake conversion. or can i just leave the stock calipers on the rear and put some s14 rotors on it. any suggestion for the rear conversion are welcome. take it easy on me im still a noob. im learning little by little just like everyone did. please help

I have just re-read my initial response to your post laid out before me. I was genuinely mad. That seldom happens. So I have deleted that and will try again.While all your questions are easy enough to answer, I will abide by your request. I will take it easy on you, and I will help.Use the SEARCH button. Use: brake upgrade or big brakes or z32 brakes or any such combination in the search field. This is the most covered topic next to exhaust upgrades, how do I do a 5 lug swap, and I want an LSD. Show me that you perused ANY of the information available to you, then if you still have any questions about what, where and how, I will drop a bomb bigger than Nagasaki on you. (a bomb of information that is)There is not a question that you have, not an idea you can think of that has not been asked or applied to these cars. Be mindful of that. If you lack the comprehension you should strongly consider an alternate hobby that will not result in harm to either you or anyone unfortunate enough to get in your way while you drift around town.

Either 26 or 30mm, rotors and calipers will work..For the fronts only the 5 lug conversion, the brake lines and for the rear you need more then that to get the e brake thing going on..

lol come on man no body is trying to start another manhatan project around here... 80,000 japs died in nagasaki cause of the fat man or whatever they called it..

If you're thinking about that rear Z32 brake conversion don't let it intimidate you, it's actually not that difficult if you're familiar with the back of a 240 and got some wrench time under your belt...although it's not really necessary as a lot of people just do the fronts. And leonelrr, who's that in your sig...she hot!
