I went to the junk yard today, and found a j30, i was consitering taking the brakes from it. But first i have a few questions:

#1 Will they fit
#2 Do they suck? Do are they good? Or are they just as good as mine.
#3 If i was to do a 5 lug conversion, woud that work?

1. Beats me
2. if they have more then one piston most likey they are better!
3. if they have a 114.3 bolt patern maybe and also if they fit the 240 caliper braket bolts

Yes, they'll fit in the front. You'll need a 5 lug conversion to use the rears because they have the drum parking brake like a 300ZX. The fronts you can just redrill.

Do they suck? Nah... IIRC they're the same as Q45 brakes in the front (280x28mm rotor, 2-piston caliper) and probably in the back too.

Hey did you check if that had the LSD in it, if it does, can you let me know where the junk yard that you found it in is? email me at [email protected] or post here.

I'm in the middle of adapting the Q45 rear e-brake assembly to my 4 lug setup. It looks like a simple spacer will suffice to fill in the gap where the 5 lug hub originally was. I might just take the 5 lug hub and cut off the section that's sandwiched between the e-brake bolt and the backing plate.
