Yah, was it worth the upgrade? and where is the mounting bracket for the caliper....

Thewholefnshow>> The Z32 caliper uses the same mounting location as the stock caliper ..... bolt on ...

camppain · 03-08-2002, 10:04 PM

actually i dontr know how it feels yet as i said the rim was hitting the caliper so i will either go with wheel spacers or be forced to do my 5 lug swap earlier than i thought <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

i do however have the steel lines in the front and it improved pedal feel dramitcally

as far as calipers i bought them rebuilt for 50 bucks at autozone

rotors oem from nissan 100 bucks for both.

other part prices i dont have yet caus i havent paid for em yet <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

ohh the stock 240 caliper uses a 14 mm and a 17 or 19mm (i forgot) to hold the caliper in. the z caliper uses just the 17/19mm only

BlackFox · 03-09-2002, 05:03 PM

I'll be getting a 240 soon so I don't know this... Isn't the SE a five lug pattern? 5/114? I'm gettting a 95 240sx se for hopefully around $4k, what a deal, loaded with 68k miles on it.

MeanRex7 · 03-13-2002, 10:46 PM

Hmmm, nice. What car do you get parts to do a 5 lug conversion on a 89-94?
I know some 95+'s have 5 lugs, along w/ 300ZX's, what about R32's, too much? Are any of these bolt on? And does anyone have a link to a 5 lug conversion page.
Are R32 brakes better than 300ZX 5 lug calipers/discs? Also which model 240sx had the 5 luggers.
Sorry for all of the questions but I'm trying to get into 240sx's.
