big brakes

[UcanTry]

i know you can use z32 brakes on a 240sx, my question is can u use a z32 nig brake kit on the same car, and if so how are they alot harder to install then regulor z32, thanks

They will bolt up fine but it all depends on the wheels you will be using. If it's a big brake kit for a z32, you're probably going to need 18's with the right spoke design to clear the calipers.

nig brake kit...
im not even gonna go there

[theronin]

LOL you saw that too?

typo meant to say "big"

[mellojoe]

what specifics about the big brake kit are you looking at? Thats one of things you really need to compare piece by piece. Compare the sizing of the rotors and calipers with kits specifically designed for the 240. You may find that you have clearance problems, or you may not.

Honestly, for people to spend money on a big-brake kit, usually they go with one designed for their car to minimize custom fabrication.

i'd suggest going to the 300z cylinder, otherwise you're not gonna be pushing enough force on the brake pistons.

Stock MC (feels fine), Have 17/16 waiting for Adj proportioning valve before install (curious what would happen).

AP six piston, 13.5 rotor (BTW not "designed" for an S14/13, ordered for "Z32" same as doing a Z32 front swap, nothing custom as someone mentioned earlier. Need bigger wheels tho, 17s nogo)

it might "feel" fine in the pedal, but are you actually noticing the stopping power? heat dissipation?

Feels fine with Stock MC (for those concerned about big brakes vs Stock MC)

Stopping power? They work great, you know how stock brakes get overheated from single stops from 80-0? Thats gone, from any speed.

Ahhsk - is your stock M/C 15/16's? or 7/8's?

[Ahhsk]

'95 Im pretty sure 7/8ths

[sykikchimp]

Yup. No abs. not sure if the '95s offered abs, I certainly dont have it tho.
