300ZX TT calipers. I figured they would but you never know.........

Everything fits great. ( 4th Gen ) Need one more mm taken off the radius. I guess some need the full 3mm and some have gotten away with less. On mine the rotor also clears the section of knuckle or a-arm that you need to grind down a bit. Just by a mm or so, i'll trim it just to be safe.

I'll post pics when done Hopefully before I deploy.....

haha, well machine shop doesnt have to work weekends.........so I might not get them milled more till tuesday........

The stock 300ZX brake lines work too.........they have more than one of the bushing/clip things that secure the line to the strut etc. But I suppose they will be fine. Im just worried they will rub or make contact with something.

But they look good........I looked at a ZX last week for a clearance check.......seems I have less but thats understandable.

I think I might be ditching a pound or two of unsprung weight..........not real sure how good that is........

Time to search

Ill post pics asap

Negative I tried it. They will with a rather large spacer but it would push your wheels out even or past the fender I bet.

I was hoping the same as you too............got 3rd rx7 wheels.........+50 offset.......no way LOL.....

So I found 4 N/A 94 TT rims. They look alot better than I thought they would on the car .....Here is a pic....not the best quality but it was getting dark out.

the rotor will look like it clears the lower control arm but when you drive or turn left and right itll grind. shave it.

Yeah, no matter what, you will have to shave the knuckle thingie. When installed, everything looked great. However, when I went out for the drive, everytime I turned, I would hear this god-awful scrubbing sound. Trust me, shave it off while you are at it.

BTW, the rear SS brake lines won't fit, the 300ZXs are too too short, by about a foot.

I am still looking into getting the 300ZX master cylinder, maybe this will increase the stopping power even more. It seems that the 240SXs that have changed out the master cylinder have noticed a GREAT increase in stopping distance and pedal firmness.....
