I know the site doesn't work...but you install all 240SX brake calipers basically the same (to my knowledge), so any site should suite you just fine.

91 TT Aluminum calipers. I was told that the swap is easy and straightforward. Should have them installed in 2 weeks, I'll post pics.
I just changed my REAR pads, they were cheap auto supply ones ($10), I got what I paid for, they were the ones that were squealing. Got some genuine Nissan pads, and no more squealing, but I'm still doing the swap.
Do you guys know if OEM pads would work well with xdrilled/slotted rotors?

I've heard good word that you can't go wrong with OEM pads no matter which rotor you choose to run. I myself, went with Axxis MM all the way around so I can't help you from personal experience.
OEM pads are very quiet...that's always a plus <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

A little note on the 4 piston calipers is that your brake balance will be a bit fubar-ed obviously but you will need to upgrade the lines definately. And to prevent low speed lock-up I bled the lines enough to allow some pedal travel or you can rely on your ABS controller. Anyways... the swap is on my top 5 list although I grabbed some aftermarket drilled Brembo rotors and pads. The stopping force is awesome and the new balance makes for easy drift initiation. Oh yeah ... if anyone wants to snag some used low milage 4-pot 300Z calipers I can hook you up, I have about 4 pairs. I can get used Nissan parts pretty cheap if you need em.

Datsun man, are they aluminum calipers? if so send me a message as to how much. I know a guy here that just swapped the stillen upgrade on his 300z and may sell them to me but if you can give me a good price I'd rather deal with a zilvia guy. thanks
