check the for sale section, someone's always selling a set. Also, they bolt right up, you just need to get conversion brake lines.

u need; calipers, rotors, conversion lines (if your car is 5 lug...if not, then redrill your rotors or upgrade to 5 lug)

where to buy: junkyard, autozone (buy remanufactured ones & trade in your old S14 calipers for the core charge), brand new, ebay, etc............

just google that shit N****!!! lol

All autoparts stores will have them. Not to say they'll be in stock, but they're just OEM calipers. Nothing special, at least not for Z32 owners..

http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm

This is a pretty good swap guide. I'm going to be using this to help me.

Also, contact Unisa Jecs, or project_RDM. they usually can come up with brake kits or pieces easy. and they're knowledgeable.

If you're s14 is 5 lug, all you need is:
-Front 300zx turbo/NA and Rear 300zx NA calipers. 30mm or 28mm is fine.
-Front and Rear rotors
-Front and rear conversion lines. Agency Power and SPL both sell them for 50ish shipped each or something.
-E-Brake assembly includes 2 brake shoes and 300zx 2+2 cables to mate to the s14 ones. i think the s14 can also use skyline cables? (Unisa Jecs is the best vendor for these components IMO)

if your s14 is NOT 5 lug, find s14 5 lugs and throw em on. 300zx NA rears work too. or aftermarket (ichiba, peak performance, etc.)

you've gotta be sneaky. put your old brakes in the box the z brakes came in and wrap it in duct tape. also try to not get the same person that sold you the brakes just in case they open the box

when I was working for kragens, i'd catch people like you trying to cheat the system but o well, I do it all the time. they do look at the core but like I said its going to be a special order so pay for the brakes and pay the extra core fee (for now) and return the core a few days after you get your hands on the z brakes. do i smell z32 maf?!
