Need a little help on the Z32 brake conversion. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

SSMini · 10-08-2007, 07:25 PM

Picked up a few parts off a 1990 300ZX NA. Picked up the Master brake cylinder, front rotors (Front calipers were already gone.), and the complete rear brake assembly. (Rotors, calipers, dust shield, 5 lug hub, ect, ect.) Did not get the e-brake line. Some questions I have are:

*Can I use the 30mm Front caliper with the 26mm rotor?
*Besides the e-brake lines and brake lines, do I need anything else to install the rear set up?
*I've read that some people use a E-brake line extension to use the factory 240 e-brake line. Is this true? If so, where can I pick this part up?

Im installing this on my 93 s13
I found a few links on the conversion, read all that I could find, but there are some questions I still have. If you have some links that may be helpful, please share...Need all I can get on the s13 front 5 lug conversion portion.
Thanks...

Thanks for your help/reply. I guess I'll have to take back the 280mm x 26mm rotors back and find some 280mm x 30mm rotors to use with the 30mm calipers. I guess the 30mm calipers are easer to find then the 26mm since the 26mm only came on the 1990 300zx. So, to add to my shopping list:
*30mm Calipers
*280mm x 30mm rotors
Thanks again....
