300zx brake conversion but still keep 4 lug question, s13

i have a 1990 fastback SE without abs and i have access to a 300zx thet rolled over

the 300zx is a z32, unsure of year, but it is sitting at my cousin's shop ready to be junked after i salvage some parts from it

to keep it simple, i want to do the 300zx big brake conversion while still maintaining my 4 lug wheels, reason is that it seems too complicated to do a 5 lug on the s13 with just 300zx parts without modifying too many parts

so here's what i'm thinking

-f/r 300zx rotors re-drilled to 4x114.3
-f/r 300zx stock calipers
-f/r 300zx brake pads
-f/r 300zx brake lines
-300zx brake master cylinder with the fitting modification for no abs

would there be any other parts i need to do this? also, would i need to modify anymore parts either on the car or on the brakes?

Be sure your wheels will clear the calipers too.

also if you do the rear conversion you will need someway to mate the emergency brake lines together.

i dunno im still trying to figure out why, having access to a 300ZX, that you would just take the brakes and not do a 5 lug conversion...

because i heard that in order to do 5 lug on s13, you have to modify it a bit adn get some s14 parts, which i dont have access to and i'm not really interested in getting them, i just want the better brakes

Okay Ayuaddict what i meant was why people post "close" "lock" or delete like they have the ability.

As for you albert, how bout you stop listening to Idiots and research what it takes to make your car 5 lug.

There is a 5 lug thread that is stickied to the top of this forum.

So stop being a moron and "read" this thread is done, so says The Leviathan.
