IIRC - the years are from 90-96..Im looking to get some too..I checked out ebay and the prices aint bad but Im sure you could do alot better at a junkyard and get rebuild kit...but thats of course if you want to do the work (which I heard wasnt that hard of a job)

Ebay fo just a quick and painless process, get the rebuilts. The years are right from the above post. I am probably going to be doing the junkyard process coz from now on i want to be doing all of my own work that way i learn as i go. The rebuild kits are like 20-30bucks at local parts stores. I just finally secured the rims that will fit this BBK too. (03 G35 coupe 18x8, seven spoke).

1990 non-turbos had 26mm aluminum calipers.
1990 tiwn-turbos and all 1991-1992.5 had 30mm aluminum calipers
1992.5-1996 had 30mm iron calipers.
Here is a picture that shows how all the different ones look;
You should be able to find some decently priced rebuilt calipers on ebay. But, if you find a beat up set for cheap, rebuilding them is not hard at all. Just use an air gun to pop out the pistons and get the rebuild kit from any local auto store (Nissan doesnt sell the OEM rebiuld kit anymore).

That picture is from importnut.net. www.zilvia.net is a good place to look. Those brakes are a popular upgrade in th 240sx community. As a matter of fact, I have them on both of my 240s
