Spindles and 5 lug hubs front and rear from Nissan 300zx – to convert your 240sx 4 lug to 5 lug hubs – 4 dust shields included that could be modified to work.
Right and left Rear aluminum 300ZX calipers fully loaded in good condition with new pads.
Right and Left Rear rotors from 300zx in good condition
Brand New VR4 racing Rotors for the front (These are Huge 12.5” rotors and $$$)
(have some spots of surface rust from sitting that will come off the 1st time you use the brakes)
Check out http://ztuner.com/brakes.php $300 just for the rotors

Front Drivers side 30mm 300ZX Aluminum Caliper in Exc Condition with new pads
Finished product (those are 18" wheels)
Brake Booster and Master Cylinder from 300ZX to decrease pedal pressure and increase brake feel. (Just the Master Cyl. is needed – sell the brake booster)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To complete this setup you will need 4 stainless brake lines
80 – 100 bucks.
Front Passenger 30mm Caliper (just over $100 +core at advance Auto parts – for a rebuilt one. The guy working there said he would even take the 240sx core at same value!)
Or find one on ebay for 60 – 100 also.
15mm spacers most likely needed if 17” wheels, may not be needed with 18” or larger
Possibly longer studs depending on spacer ?
A few nuts and bolts to mount the brackets – Hardware store less then 8 bucks..?
---------------------------------------------------------------
5 lug conversion = at least $200
Rear 300 zx calipers = at least $100
Rear 300ZX Rotors = at least $40
VR4 Racing Rotors = $300
VR4 Brackets = $100
Front 300zx caliper = At least $100
Brake Booster with Master Cyl. = at least $90
Total = $930 and that’s a low estimate
First $800 takes it all! + S&H
Selling my 240 and wont be using these parts.

not to be a bug but i dont think the z32 fronts will work on a 240sx, the z32 uses a different front suspension than 240sx, front hubs and spindles from Z wont work.

this spindles wont work, but im pretty sure the hubs for 5 lug conversion work, that was why i bought them..

240 hubs bolt on from the wheel side, z32 from the chasis side, they are completly different for the fronts
