Z32 front brake swap on S13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

240silvia · 11-28-2006, 03:46 PM

So, all you need is the caliper, new brake line, and I was just going to re drill the Z32 rotor for 4 lug until I go to 5. So, my question is, does the Z32 caliper blot up in the same location as the S13 caliper? Please let me know guys, thanks, Charles.

wow...just...wow...

projectRDM · 11-28-2006, 03:57 PM

My thoughts exactly. When did we go back to 1990?

aznpoopy · 11-28-2006, 04:01 PM

1700 posts... you should know better.

AkinaSpeed · 11-28-2006, 04:08 PM

yeah ummm, there is this magical button that if you enter a request such as that, you shall receive an answer

240silvia · 11-28-2006, 04:12 PM

look ass, don't come in with your f'ing 16 posts telling me to search. When I searched, I didn't find anything definate. I did find a walkthrough that was hella long.... BUT, I just want a simple yes or no. What the hell is the point of me reading a 20 page long walkthrough when I can put the question up here, and just get a yes or a no. Here's the walkthrough I found... http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm . It says remove the calipers for the front and put the Z32 calipers on. I would assume that they bolt right up, but I want to make sure before I go and buy them. So, does anyone know?

Your own post answer the question. what more do you want??

240silvia · 11-28-2006, 04:07 PM

lol, I'm sure you guys think I should, truth is, I've never looked into this. Not once. Now I want to do 5 lug and I'll probably end up just buying a whole setup, rotors, calipers, lines and hubs. So, does anyone have an answer?

You're joking right? Thread of the year.

HalveBlue · 11-28-2006, 04:32 PM

Well, I'll make it easy for you.

The answer is no.

240silvia · 11-28-2006, 04:34 PM

damnit, you guys are still not listening. I haven't EVER looked into this. That being said..... (now pay attention) I don't know if the calipers have the same bolt hole locations. How hard is that to understand???? Do they, or don't they??? If I was joking, don't you think I'd say so????

240silvia · 11-28-2006, 04:35 PM

ok, with that being said..... what spindles do they bolt up to that will work with the S13?

'90RPS13 · 11-28-2006, 04:47 PM

Dude, they bolt up. You need custom lines and you will need to get rotors re-drilled if you are still 4 lug. Enough said. *a

drew935 · 11-28-2006, 04:58 PM

haha LOL

sncs14 · 11-28-2006, 06:08 PM

240silvia · 11-28-2006, 06:51 PM

lol, keep those neg reps coming boys, I love em..... And thanks to you guys who actually helped. But it seems like you guys don't know as much as you think. Some of you say no, some say yes. Good job, way to be on top of things. And I don't see why the hell this is such a big deal. I've never looked into the swap, wtf do you expect? I imagine there was a time where you guys didn't know about the swap. So, someone told you, and I bet it wasn't that big of a deal to you then. I don't know so I ask, that's why the damn forum is for, sharing information. Just b/c I have 1700 posts and I don't know about the damn Z32 swap doesn't make me an idiot. So stop treating me like one.

It's true. I confess.

I lied.

I'm a dick like that.

FYI, the real answer is yes.

OptionZero · 11-28-2006, 07:17 PM

this forum is about sharing information. This information has been shared, it's in the fuckin forum. You could have found it via searching, via the fuckin website you already found, and via the fuckin archives.

this is a topic covered in magazine articles, and its fuckin s-chassis cannon knowledge, so don't blame other people for your own fuckin ignorance.

"i lived under a rock the last decade and i'm a dumbfuck"

thats all you had to say

projectRDM · 11-28-2006, 09:10 PM

^ Bingo.

Do you honestly think that the tens of thousands of people running around with Z brakes on their Schassis who are even more ignorant than you are actually modified/built/fabbed anything to make them work?

240 owners = cheap, lazy fucks. If it involves more than two bolts, they didn't do it.

Jesus christ, I thought someone bumped a thread from 1995. What the hell is this?

How do I put Z32 brakes on my car, gimme a fucking break dude.

240silvia · 11-28-2006, 10:00 PM

lol, this is great! I love seeing you guys bitch, lol. I searched douche. I'm not going to sift through 30 pages trying to find a simple yes/no answer. lol, I do know one thing, I'll never get tired of watching you guys bitch. You've been providing me with entertainment for the past 4 years, keep it up :thumbs up: I still don't see why this is that big of a deal. At one time I didn't know anything about Nissan's, just a you guys didn't. Yea I believe that I know a good amount, and yes I have a lot of posts. But how am I suppost to know when I've never asked. I've never looked into the swap, so what do you expect, lol. Anyway, say what you want, call me lazy, I look on the first page of the search, if I don't find my answer... I ask. And Falkon we'lve been down this road before, and you are STILL not reading correctly, lol. I didn't ask HOW to put them on. I asked if they had the same mounting location. Tisk Tisk Tisk... lol.

waynehead05 · 11-28-2006, 10:09 PM

yes. it bolts right up. all you need to do is redrill to 4 lug and get conversion lines. make sure your wheels clear too.

240silvia · 11-28-2006, 10:18 PM

well my friend has some steel braided lines from Project Nissan that he's going to give me. And I'm going to make sure to get the 26mm calipers b/c from what I've read, they fit under the 7 spoke SE wheels, so at the track when I switch my wheels back to the SE's I won't have any issues. And I just plan to get a machine shop to re drill the rotors I guess. I have a friend that owns a welding shop with a drill press. And I could always mark where I wanted to holes and he could do it, but, I'd rather spend the money and make it percise. Oh, and thanks for not being ass.
