240 brakes...
i'm comparing prices on brake upgrads right now. i've heard that you can get 300zx brembo rotors redriled 4 lug for the 240sx. if this is true, where can i buy these rotors? if not can a shop do this for you? any help would be appreciated and i'll share all the info i find out on any brake up grade (the spec-v idea included).

You can get 300z brakes from a junkyard for a pretty cheap cost...make sure you get the ones you want though since there are a few variants. A shop can drill a new 4 hole pattern on them for you or better yet you could upgrade to 5 lugs which is a better idea, even though it costs a little more. If you're tight on cash though then go with the 4 lug, just make sure the stock rims will have enough clearence I know stock s14 se (5 lug) rims will clear it, not sure about all the rest...
Infiniti Q45 brakes should also work, but I'm not sure how easy they are to install... http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/.../240sx_brakes/ - conversion howto http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm - another swap http://www.princeton.edu/~asad/zbrakes/ - brake caliper comparison

17" rims are perfect on a 240sx
 Too bad I can't find exact copies of the stock s14 rims in 17"..probly just go with the crowd and get TE37s or something similar, either that or 5 spoke, 5 double spoke, or 6 spoke that look nice.

yeah, you can find them pretty much anywhere...a junkyard, eBay. hell you could even go into Nissan or a parts store and order a brand new set, although that would cost more. are you looking for calipers too? it's usually a good idea to upgrade everything when you upgrade one thing.

i've found the calipers and rotors both on ebay and seems like i can pick them up for alittle over $400. project silvia haas stainless steel brake line you can use with the z32 calipers as well. right now i'm just looking at what everything will cost me.
