got my calipers, rotors, pads, master cylinder, e-brake assembly, shims, carriers, brackets, and ss convo lines are on the way. i know the installation process. i know what kind of calipers i have. everythings there just:

-when buying the brakes, it totally slipped my mine to get the sensor that plugs into the z32 mc. is there anyway i can purchase that separately or do i have to dig through junkyards and rely on classifieds?

-i am running the one inch z32 mc. the mc has a total of four ports. two used, one plugged (dont have abs), and one that needs to be plugged. i know that people chop open their 240sx mcs to get the flare nut to plug this opening. i know how to do this, im not questioning this method, but i always wondered how come no one just buys it? i understand that dealerships sell the mc with the flare nut as a whole, but is there no other souce for this nut? cant buy it seperately? cant buy it at osh, home depot, ace, etc. basically, im trying to avoid chopping or drilling a hole into my 240 mc...thanks :wiggle:

chop up your slave cylinder block and use the plug from there.

The sensor is just a quick splice away iirc. Peep the brake install pages.

you can't but the little fitting anywhere, not even a dealer. you can check yourself, but many have tried, all have failed (to my knowledge).

the clutch slave cylinder doesnt have the flare fittings in there. i just looked for them in 2 junk slave cylinders i had lying around and neither had them. now im f*cked.

Remove your clutch dampener box and use the one out of it.
