950 bucks!?!?!?! WTF :eek: Couldnt you just find some rotors with calapers off an old 300zx in a junk yard and drill the holes your self? also, is it possible to use just the calipers on the 240 rotors?

Yes, you can put 300zx brakes on a 4 lug. I have them on my S13. I got my calipers from the junk yard but rebuilt them. You'll also need special stainless steel lines for the calipers and rotors for 4 lug. No, you can't use the existing 240 rotors, they are too small. I got my rotors from PDM. I highly don't recommend you to drill out your own holes. You may crack the rotor without sufficient drilling oil. Cracks so small that you need a microscope to see. Under hard braking could cause the cracks to expand due to heat.

Hope this helps...

heavy throttle has a complete kit for front 300zx conversion that also comes with new rear rotors and pads for quite a bit less than pdm racing! brembo cross drilled and slotted rotors too!

Expect to pay a little more for brand new parts. Heavy throttle sells used and remanufactured calipers and they do not stipulate on the website which kind comes with the price posted.

They do offer a hell of a deal though. Just understand why there is a price difference.

i think they actually give you the choice if they have both in stock!
