Ok.  I am definatly gonna do the 300zx upgrade.
Now, I HAVE to know 3 things, and want to know 1.
HAVE TO KNOW!!!
1) 1990+ rotors fit onto a 1996 240sx SE, lug-pattern wise, right?
2) Will I have the clearance with the SE alloys?
3) At PDM, they have a 26mm and 30mm caliper and rotor.  Are stock 26, and 30 are oversized?  I am buying the calipers and rotors from separate places and they should be "stock" size.

WANT TO KNOW... (answer the first 2 even if you don't know this one!)
1) What is the weight of a 240sx caliper.  300zx TT calipers are 22 pounds, and I wanna know how much weight I'm adding.
Thanks,
-Jeff

Not sure about the weight but I have my 300ZX Rear calipers and rotors sitting next to me along with stock rotors and brembo crossdrilled and slotted rotors.

26mm is off the NA and 30 is off the TT. It should matter what ones you get as the calipers might not fit each other. Im not even sure what calipers and rotors I got.

You will not have a E-Brake just so you know, the Z used drum brakes for the E-Brake so when you swap you will lose your 240SX E-Brake. Click Here to see how to swap in the EBrake system. Its hard as #### and don't blame me if there is any misspellings because the write-up was originally in Japanese and I converted it to English. I am waiting to do this swap only because of the damb E-Brake. But if your doing the fronts only then go right ahead. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

They will clear SE alloys with no problems.

As long as you have the 5 lug pattern your good to go.
