Ack!! What a bitch it is to swap to 300zx brakes.
About 4 hours and a pack of cigarettes later... I am done!!
Then... that stupid rock gaurd thing that only Nissan has behind the rotor scrapped the sh!t out of my rotor.  So I had to cut it off.  2 Hours and a couple Coke's later... I am finally finished.
Was it worth it?  Absolutly.  I got gas today, and someone looked over (at 1:30 am) and said "Nice brakes"  WOO!!
So.  If anyone needs help... I just did it!

Schweet hombre. Now, I know they look fly, but how's the stopping power?

Ok.  I haven't been on for a couple days (stupid acts of god!) because my power was out last night due to a tropical storm.  

Anyway... the stopping power is better than my old pads.  Probably because they were pretty much non-existant.  I can't do a break check yet because my rotors and pads must seat with eachother.  In about 400 more miles, I will lock them up.
Also... the install was about 4 hours.  Not too hard.  Just figuring out how to put in the pads on the 300zx calipers.  And how to get the old brake lines in (stupid soft metal nuts!)
And it cost about $550...
