Big Brake Upgrade?

[nissantuner]

Hey does anyone know of a big brake upgrade for teh 240sx 4 lug? 89-93 I love the hp racing brakes but in a days use do you really think that you will see the blue stripes in the groves! I think they are just selling the looks?
good for a non driven car though!
help me out
Thanks

I can sell you my setup brakes I have for the rear of my s14. Still a 5-lug but you should be able to get them redrilled. Check the for sale section.

I just went to the junkyard and pulled off some 300zx tt brakes from a z32...they bolt rt on...you just have to trim the dust shield a bit

Just about any competant maching shop can drill the 5 lug rotors into a 4lug setup. &nbsp;And my brake upgrade only cost like $550 with EBC pads....
It probably was one of the best things I've done.... so far.
But yeah.. ask machine shops, even auto shops should be able to do it...

kool! so i can pretty much get any brake setup? consitering wheel space ofcourse!? I will just need to get them redrilled?

[West]

No....

You cant get a Porche brakes and expect them to work after redrilling. Its alot more complex then that.

hehe oki what if i have a place with a big brake upgrade for a sentra? would they fit mine with just a little custom work?

Hey aren't the rotors on a 300zx just brembo rotors? Couldn't you just buy the brimbo rotors and they'de be just as good? what kinda brembo's are they?

[HippoSleek]

hmmm... the return of tuna....

No, all rotors are not the same. &nbsp;No 300zx are not the same as Brembo. &nbsp;&quot;Big brakes&quot; in the Honda sense are not made for Nissans. &nbsp;The benefit of the z32 upgrade is the caliper and the rotor size. &nbsp;

Then couldn't you just buy the parts for a 300z tt and put them on your 240? Why do you have to goto a junkyard?

[Arcane]

jay: &nbsp;one word - cheaper!

[curioushuang]

if you did get them from a junk yard what mods would have to be done to a 96 240 coupe? I need them redrilled?

SE or base model? if its SE i believe you wont even need a redrill. you'll need new liens though. you can get em here: <a href="http://www.pdm-racing.com/products/brakeslines.html" target='_blank'>http://www.pdm-racing.com/products/brakeslines.html</a>
