-1 set of front z32 calipers.

-1 set of used s14 SE hubs. If the junkyard wont sell them seperatly, then buy the whole spindle assembly. It was a direct bolt on, watch out for your dust boot covers.. be careful when swapping. Ofcourse, from now on you will have to order brake pads for the same model nissan 300zx. I would like to recommend Porterfield R4 or the Carbotech XP pads for the serious road racer (streetable too). If you want to retain the s14 rotor heat/dust shield you will have to modify it slightly to fit the larger 300zx rotor.
- 1 set of rear rear hubs from a z32 Nissan 300zx. You can order the rear spindle assembly aswell, but, I heard that you have to customize your shock or get custom coil overs and new ball joints. I think SCC went over this and got JIC coilovers and Moog ball joints, it worked quite well.
- Set of used s14 SE rear rotors. If you have a lot of money get new ones, no need for fancy cross drilled or vent holed rotors, they just tend to crack and warp or create massive brake dust.. a regular rotor is all you need, trust me. - Front stainless steel braided brake line kit from http://www.pdm-racing.com, (http://www.pdm-racing.com,/) the rear brake lines dont change since I retained the rear spindle & caliper. If you decide to switch out the rear spindles aswell you will need new brake lines for all four corners, a buddy of mine ordered a complete set from http://www.heavythrottle.com (http://www.heavythrottle.com/) and he said they were nice. Make sure to use some teflon thread tape.
