Alright, so here's the thing. The fronts are easy. Just get some 300ZX rotors that are drilled for 4 lug. They make em and sell em all over Ebay. They bolt right on. Calipers and everything. Now the Rear ones are little bit more tricky. You are going to need longer brake lines that come on the 300ZX. Preferably stainless steel. They sell the conversion lines too. You are also going to need the 300ZX E-brake cables and rear E-brake assembly. The 300ZX E-brake works differently than a 240. On a 240 the E-brake cable is attached directly to the brake caliper. On a 300 it has two brake shoes behind the rotor that operates like a brake drum. Now you can bolt on the rear calipers and rotors no problem. But the E-brake is hard part. And it is soooo hard to find that shit for the E-brake. I am actually going to a junkyard today to get it. But once you dive into it, it's really not hard at all.

But here are some tips. 1) Cut or take the dust covers off cause they are a bitch to bend back so they won't scrape. 2) If you get the fronts with brake lines from a 300zx, they will work fine. 3) They also work fine without a 300zx master cylinder, but I would get one if you can.

Hey if you have any questions just hollar.
