300zx brake conversion?
what do I need to do this? I remember reading something about it in a post a couple weeks back but cant find it...(no search). Can someone give me a list of everything needed, where to get the items, and average cost? thanks!

u need...
300z Calipers, rotors (milled 3mm off), pads for your calipers, stainless steel brake lines, Nismo studs depending on your wheels/rims or new rims with correct offset. Have to have at least 17" rims. Cost could range from $300-$1000 depending on what you need to get. Enjoy!

so this only works for the front huh? so I only need 2 300zx calipers, etc....also whats this about using a mustang cobra rotor? Is this better than using the 300zx rotor? do the 300zx just bolt right on after getting them milled? The difference is that the cobra rotors do NOT need to be milled? But they need an adapter plate whereas the 300zx rotors only need milling to fit? anymore I have masitaly presidents 18X8 but I have no idea what the offset is....got them used. can I get everything at advance? detailed info would be great! thanks!

Details...there is really no difference/big deal in having them on the front and keeping the stocks in the rear. You braking improves so dramatically. Now with regards to the cobra rotors, I was planning on doing this upgrade from my 300z rotors, I have almost all the parts necessary. What that upgrade gives you is more surface area for braking thus disspating more heat (better) You will now also not have to get any rotors milled, you can get OEM and roll from there. I think that the hats on the rotors are different so that might change the needed offset on the rims...not sure..
Oh..and the 300z calipers DO bolt right on!
