Ok, I did some quick searching, but couldn't find a quick answer. I'm at work so I don't have a lot of time to look either. So here's the deal. I've been calling around to find Hubs and calipers for the 5 ug conversion. I found a locak junk yard that has 91 300zx calipers and Hubs for all four corners and I can pick them up for $300.

I think the deal is awesome, but will the 300zx hubs work on the front and rear. If I remember correctly the rears will bolt on. Thanks for any help, I'm trying to go pick these up on my lunch break.

Yep

only thing you can use off the front is calipers and rotors

rear you can use the whole brake assembly ( if your getting it at a junkyard, I would ask for the whole spindle with everything attached including un-cut e-brake lines), and if it is non-turbo you can use the hubs, if it is turbo than you can't. But, regardless, you can use the brake setup, and if you ask for the whole spindle you can see how everything fits together, will make putting it in the 240 10x easier.

:bigok: for full z-brakes, I love mine.

Crap, that sucks. I thought I might have a full conversion. I will check to see if they are turbo or non turbo.

Wait, I was talking to a buddy last night about the conversion and we are now both confused. I could have swore I read something a long time ago about how the 300zx front hubs would work if you got the S14 Knuckles. Is that right? Or do I need to just forget about the fronts?

If you get the s14 front nuckles then you have to modify your front shocks. Just go the easier route and buy the front conversion hubs and hunt down some cheap used rears. Remember and try and get all you can for your money.

Front Z32 hubs DO NOT WORK, PERIOD. They never have and never will. Get it out of your head now.
