Hey guys I want to upgrade the breaks on my s13 but i dont want to go with 300zx 5 lug stuff. I would like to buy a larger rotor drilled or slotted and run some 300zx calipers... my question is what would i need to do? where can i find some larger calipers with staying 4 lug??
any information would be greatly appreciated
thanks

spell much...??. z32/r32 BRAKE Calipers fit stock s13 4 lug uprights, all u need to do is get BRAKE Conversion lines, and have your rotors drilled to 4x114.3 So much info in this database SEARCH AND FIND IT :)

i dont think you need to go 5 lug just for 300z brakes.
but if your serious about big brakes + 4 lug i would suggest the arizonazcar.com "small" wilwood caliper front brake upgrade.

you can buy the 300zx calipers from ebay or here on zilvia.net, and i think heavythrottle.com sells the conversion brake kit with 300zx rotor thats drilled for 4 lugs s13

Another option is the JDM 180SX. It's slighty smaller than the Z32 brakes, and uses mid-90s Maxima pads and Altima 4-lug discs. No redrilling necessary.

i just bought some brembo cross drilled for a 300zx and drilled them to fit my 4lug... it works great and it cost me like 110(im not sure though)
finally i mate them to my junky 300zx calipers and steel lines...
it inexpensive, easy, and fast.. plus u get 4 piston calipers, bigger rotors =great breaking.....

There's plenty of places that sell 5 and 4 lug drilled Z32 rotors. IF you searched you could probably find it. This forum needs to do what Zip Tied did.

There's also the chepaer but also good alternative of running Q45 brakes up front. Direct bolt on and no need to deal with conversion lines. But you still need to have the rotors redrilled.

BRAKErotors can be drilled to 4lug on a press in less than five minutes by even the stupidest person. Blanks cost about $45/pair at any decent auto parts store.
