i just bought the 300zx 30mm aluminum brake calipers for the front and rear and i wanted to know what are the list of parts i would need to have them fully operational on my 97 240? i looked and havent found a direct and straight forward response. also if someone has a site where i can purchase these parts i would greatly appreciate it.

heres a plan for you

1. go to Google (http://www.google.com)

2. type this in the search bar "300zx brake swap"

3. If you don't have instant turned on hit i'm feeling lucky, otherwise click the first link.

4. figure out what parts you need, then hit up the classifieds or the advertisers section of this site and buy them.

you need

conversion brake lines, rotors ( Circuit sports would work best for cheap ) pads, a rebuild kit is recommended for the calipers.

enjukuracing.com, 240sx-motoring.com, pdm-racing.com, and a various amount of other sites ( just the ones I have up looking right now ) carry all the stuff to do the swap.

no offense OP, but all the threads you started (this + coilover one just to name a few), could have easily been answered by searching.

I don't see why people complain about a thread being made on a public board where you come to read shit anyways. It's just as annoying as the people making the post in the first place. No one gives a shit if you know the answer, THEY don't know the answer. So you posting to begin with is useless.

You saw the title of the thread, right? You know it was someone asking for help, right? You still reply, right?

Shut up.

You really don't get it. These questions have been asked so many times, that threads like this just clog the forum with useless posts.

Why useless? If the OP had used his brain and done a quick search? He would have found the subject had been covered and the info was there.
NO, he had to be lazy and just make another post and thread.

If someone does not come in and correct his lazy behavior then he will keep on doing it. Making more useless threads.

OH, I get it. I've run multiple forums/website's. I have yet to see how it 'clogs' up the forum considering the next day its not even on the same page if people like you don't answer, had you of simply just not clogged HIS thread with YOUR garbage, it'd be FAR less annoying.

Correct his lazy behaviour? lololol. Every post a newbie makes, they usually make because they are unable to locate the answers. While you say that they can use the search button and find something real quick, it's not usually true.

Typically, they are new to the S chassis, so they have no fucking clue what brands, short forms, complicated terms for ANYTHING on a car... so how are they supposed to search? Sure. You all know that you can search SPECIFICALLY for "300zx brake swap", and the first link is the one you need... why? Because someone told YOUR ass the same thing. If he searches for "240sx brake upgrade" or some shit, he'll find jackshit.

Also, since you've been on this forum for 9 years, I can assume that you've seen and answered tons of questions for people like him and it gets boring.. which in turn brings me back to my original point. Do not post if you do not want to hear his question, or give helpful advice. Other people are here that will answer him, no one needs to hear the same post whoring, attention grabbing message of "SEARCH YOU NOOB, LULZ I FOUND THE ANSWER FIRST TRY." Garbage.

But, I guess you probably want the extra post count with one that high..

As for the people who originally posted HELPFUL answers for him (Like the first 4-5 posts) and what he could search for - for help. I'm sure he'll appreciate that.

Wow you are ignorant. Why, because I was trying to point out a very simple way to take care of things.
One that has been encouraged by the mods themselves.
But no you mister noob to the forum have to try and start telling us how we should be doing things. LOL

You may have a been a mod on some other forum. It does not mean you know whats right or what is felt to work better here.

Oh and you have to come up with derogatory comments about us trying to up our post counts. Wow you are clueless. I could care less about my post count. In fact I rarely post these days because of people like you.

In other words take the cotton our of your ears and shove it in your mouth.

One reply is all I do. Nothing you said matters enough for me to type to you again. You fail.

To the OP, good luck with your brake swap PM me if you need assistance. I'll try and help you with what I can like last time. :P
