Ok, i have a 1990 240SX.

I want to use the Z32 calipers, front and rear, and the Z32 Disk. I know I can get the rotor re-drilled to 4 hole, that's fine.

But can I install the calipers with the stock spindles/hubs? Will the caliper mount? Do I need adapters?

What year Z32 do I need to look at for these parts?

I tried searching, but I couldn't find answers to these questions.

Half of the answer in one post, half the answer in the other it get's frustrating.

I want one straight answer.

Reason for doing this is I need to change my brakes, and I would like to do a slight upgrade if I can.

Please advise, or flame :D

I looked at this site: http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm

They mention that you can do it by keeping 4 lug, just get the rotors re-drilled.

I want to make sure the calipers will just bolt up?

I won't have to have the whole 300ZX rear assembly swap and e-brake swap since I would be keeping the stock hub, just going bigger rotor.

Can anyone answer? Will the calipers from the 300ZX bolt right up to the stock S13 4 Lug hubs?

You dont need to change the hubs, the stock one will work fine. You really dont need to change the rear brakes (in my opinion), just do the fronts, then get yourself some decent pads/ rotors to fit the stock calipers in the rear.

Sweet! Yeah, the rear are 10.2 according to that site, not too bad, but the fronts at 9.8 need to be changed. And with the 4 piston calipers, that will be SWEET!

Thanks for confirming.
