300zx n/a brakes for 95 240sx SE - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

02-08-2002, 05:48 PM

Aite Guys and Girls, I know you guys probably heard the brakes questions and are so sick of it, but this is my first time posting anything on the site, and I promise not to ask anymore. I am about to purchase a complete 90' 300zx n/a brake set-up for my 95' 240sx SE. From what I have read from the forum, the rotors are straight bolt-on to the hub and they should clear my 16' rims. I am currently looking at PDM's 300zx brake conversion lines. I know they sell the fronts for $100 and have no clue about the rear. I emailed them and they replied that they had "Rear DOT OEM lines" for $50 bucks. To my knowlegde, OEM product are stock, (manufacuers) can't spell, products. So will my stock lines fit if PDM is selling stock lines?? If not where can I get some conversion lines? If there is any other things I need to know about the conversion, please let me know. Thanks

Z32 rotors will mount just like your current ones.  Calipers will mount, and will clear the Stock SE wheels.

PDM, sell brake lines to mate to the calipers, trust me, get'em.  

You just needed some reinsurance

Ok.  Not to be a prick, but you really should have used that handy-dandy "search" button on the top of the page, since you know that this question has been asked a thousand times.
Second, it was asked 2 days ago, I replied, and told the person to feel free to email me, to save board space, and he did.  You should check the tech section for technical help.
All that aside...
When you get the calipers, they will probably be unloaded.  So you will need to go to the Nissan dealership and buy a "brake hardware kit."  This has the shims and crap you'll need.  Then you will need 4 retaining pins, to hold the pads in place.  Nissan has those for like $1.50/ea.
Then you'll need the PDM conversion lines.  The reason is because the fitting on a 240sx caliper is a male/female flare, and the 300zx is a banjo fitting, or something like that.  Anyway, they are very different.  So you need those.
As for the rear swap, not too many people have swapped that, cuz its a pain in the ass.  And I have no clue on that.
But if you need more help on the swap, email me, at [email protected]

I want to do the rear, nobody said any details about that, that's why I'm asking.

Whoa, not a good way to introduce yourself to the forums. Try to be a bit more polite next time.
