300zx Brake/5 Lug Swap on S13 (In Progress)

[91rb20s13]

* UPDATE*PARTS ARE HERE! WILL BE TRAILERED UP TO THE SHOP NEXT WEEK TO HARD THE WORK DONE!*

Figured i'd put this in here to help other ppl out and so i can keep track of what i got and so yall can see the progress on it. i'll put up pics of all the parts i have tonight.

Most of the stuff i don't have will prolly be purchased with my next paycheck in 2 weeks and i hope to have the car in the shop before the end of February.

I got mine from a 1990 Non-Turbo. Thanks Mike.

*Please let me know if you guys notice anything that i'm missing that i may need.*

Parts I have
*Optional
Splash Shields are optional but are suggested for daily driving as they keep water off your brakes.
Also You can use the Stock Z32 rubber brake lines... but why the hell would you? The rear Z32 lines will not work at all and require conversion lines.

Parts Needed:

Front:
ICHIBA Front 5-lug Conversion Hubs
Z32 Front Rotors (280mm x 26mm)
Z32 4-piston Front Calipers
HAWK HPS Z32 Front Brake Pads
*DIF Z32 Stainless Steel Brake Lines
*Splash Shields

Rear:
Z32 Rear 5 Lug Hubs
Z32 Rear Rotors (297mm x 16mm)
Z32 2-piston Rear Calipers
HAWK HPS Z32 Rear Brake Pads
OEM R33 Skyline GT-S E-Brake Cables - Because the Z32 ones are too short
Z32 E-Brake Drum/Backing Plate Hardware (One of my backing plates had it's hardware jacked, so i'll have to source the replacements and i might as well just replace both sets)
*Splash Shields
DIF Z32 Stainless Steel Rear Conversion Brake Lines

Other System Parts:
Z32 Non-Turbo Master Cylinder
DOT 3 Brake Fluid
Stock Z32 NA 5 Lug Rims on 225/50 R16s *Rock these until i get some Work VSXX's in 17x8/17x9

Buying up all this stuff this weekend. and with the tax refund coming soon ... watch out for some other upgrades (new turbo, FMIC, etc) looking at about a 3-4k budget to get it about where i want it.

All looks good to me and yes these are those calipers lol. sorry man he had dibs

Are you sure the rotors are aluminum? Aluminum melts at a relatively low temp, and would distort and melt very quickly with any type of spirited driving. I think you meant to say Aluminum Z32 calipers.

ya i was a bit confused about that. everywhere i read wouldnt give me a straight answer on sizes and materials that the rotors where made of. i know the calipers are aluminum.
