bbp is an unknown quantity at this point
The 240sx stock brakes are almost sufficient for a stock motor. I would think that 100+ HP increase would need the bigger brake setup. Your idea of piece stuff together would make me nervous personally. But if it works then great!

I have a pair of cast calipers, with 2 pistons each in my garage. I am not sure what the fit, maybe I'll dig out the part number. I think they may be Maxima calipers. I was told they are a direct bolt on item. Havent tried it yet as it is not a legal mod for IT. Anyone heard of this?


I use Brembo blanks, keep running them until the little cracks become BIG cracks and begin to make me nervous. As I have mentioned before, I also use Ford HD brake fluid and have never had fade problems. I have also fashioned some brake ducts that go from the fog light holes back to the center of the rotor. Can post some pics if anyone is interested.
