I've always done it conversion lines, not sure if you can use Z32 Stock lines on an S-chassis..hmm intriguing, go drive his car and see if it brakes like dick hole

i honestly don't know, but I wouldn't be worried about putting z32 brakes on my car unless I was going to do things like stainless steel brake lines too.

I am looking to do the same thing, but I was told to run the SS lines.

if i remember right, if you get the brakes with the hard lines still on the calipers, you should be able to use the factory soft line on the front and rears....

everyone does SS lines because the calipers people usually get don't have the hard lines still attached...

^ forgot about that part.

Anytime I've ever done the brake swap, I've just bought the calipers "new" from Advance since they are typically cheaper than people want to sell their wore out ones for. and having a few year warranty is better than being stuck with 100k miles, worn out seals, needing a rebuild after you already spent too much on them in the first place.

What do they get for them?

just looked really quick... 1992 300zx turbo... the front's are 58 bucks a piece.
Advance Auto Parts: Brake Caliper-Front by Remanufactured - Part 19-1400

better than the 150 a pair the usually go for...

you'd want to go to the store and put your hands on them first to make sure they are the aluminum ones and all of that. but that should be what you are lookin for.
