300ZX Brake Upgrade

I have the Rotors, Calipers, Caliper Rebuild Kit, and Stainless Steel Lines. I know I need to get some 300ZX Pads too. Can I use the 300ZX Master Cylinder? I don't have one yet, but I can get my hands on one for pretty cheap. I'd like to swap one if possible. Is there anything else I need for the conversion? THANKS A LOT TO ANYONE THAT CAN HELP!!

Well I know the rotors need to be milled down 3mm and you also have to shave some of the steering knuckle on each side so the wheels can turn all the way to the left of and right.

thanks for the advice! I don't know if I can get the Z32 master cylinder to work, the fitting look very different. Has anyone had any luck with it?

You have to get 240zx to 300zx conversion lines... regular 300zx lines won't work. Also there's no need to change the MC, the Maxima MC is plent large for the 300z brake system.
