300zx calipers on a s13 question... before conversion - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

BSPerformance · 01-05-2012, 10:47 AM

Looking to put my 300zx calipers on my s13... So far in the process I have bought 300zx 30mm Calipers... there rebuilt with new pads. Brembo cross drilled slotted for 5 lug. S13 caliper conversion lines. Also a 300zx master cylinder. Not running 300 rear calipers. My question is do I have everything I need to work?

Will the 300zx master cylinder work with stock s13 rear calipers?

I remeber a friend of mine who had 300zx calipers on his s13 and the brake pedal felt like it had no assistance... just trying to stay away from that. Any input on this would be great. Thanks

is it a z31 bmc or a z32, but yeah sounds like you have everything

NickIsAZero · 01-05-2012, 12:18 PM

Yes aslong as you're 5 lug, if not then you gotta redrill the rotors or convert.

Yes I have 5 lug hubs going on to forgot to mention that...

So should be good plug n play?

S13 rear calipers will work and ill have regular brake pressure? Good lol

i can vouch for Q45 front brakes they bolt right up and feels fine with the stock s13 bmc. initial pedal feel is soft but then it grabs much better then stock brakes.

it's 2012 and people are still posting questions about Z32 brake swaps on S13's?

there are plenty of places to find this info. people have been doing Z brakes swaps forever now, it's old news, and a bolt on affair.
