i won r32 32 mm front aluminum calipers and r32 rear aluminum calipers

i drive a 1995 240SX SE, im running stock brakes now

1. will they work with 300zx rotors or do i need to buy r32 rotors for both front and rear

2. do i need longer or shorter brake lines for both front and rear

3. will they work with 300zx brake pads or do i need r32 pads both front and rear

4. do i need anything special to make the calipers fit my car

5. anything special thats related to master cylinder, i was gonna get a 300zxTT MC.

thx, and please tell me if i need to know anything else

your help is gladly appreciated

this a website that sells the front calipers that i have not the rears, they also sell r32 lines and rotors, and im trying to save money, so dont just tell me to buy there rotors and lines, cuz there way overpriced.

1) should work, but the R32's would probably be best, larger rotor for more cooling, but most dont experience brake fad with Z32 rotors so it's up to you here
2) length does not matter, you will just need the same brake line conversions as the Z32 swap requires because i believe stock is the banjo fitting while brembos and Z32/skyline are the IF fittings
3) z32 tt work i believe
4) No, just cutting the dust shield for the rotors to clear
5) z32 MC should work fine, just adjust the pedal freeplay because when i did mine i had like 2 inches of pedal movement without any braking force

hope that helps

as said above....

Z32 pads are the same...

You will need a Z32 master cylinder...

As far as rotors, you should get some GT-R Rotors... there are some people who use the Z32 rotors, but they are too small...

To do the rear conversion right you'll need the complete R32 or Z32 rear drum assembly and R33 ebrake cables since your stock ones won't work.
Get SPL braided lines for the conversion (~$80).

You can buy the ebrake cable from a Nissan dealership. We carry them at our dealership also: http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=3585.

The stock 240 e-brake will not work since it uses the caliper as the ebrake and the z32/r32 uses a drum assy as the ebrake.
