1 tuff z Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 i was looking at a friends '99 altima se the other day and began wondering if; 4 lug bolt pattern is the same, if so-would those brakes fit on a 240? it has 4 wheel discs and look to be a pretty decent size. anyone looked at this as a possible conversion before?? david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 The Front Altima rotors are the same as the front S13 240SX rotors, which are just 6mm greater in diameter than the Z31 300ZX rotors (which have to be turned down 0.125" anyway to get them to bolt right in with the Toyota or Datsun 280ZX calipers) In addition to that, their ID is 68mm, which means they would have to be machined out to 81mm to fit in the hub. So Basically its a bunch of extra work for nothing. Is anybody using Z32 front discs and calipers (converted to 4 lug)? How did you get those to fit?

blueovalz Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 The pattern is the same. My use of these rotors were as follows. They are about 1/4" in diameter larger than the front Maxima rotors ('87) that I am using on the rear brakes on my Z. They are of the same exact offset and width as said rotors. They will not fit over the front hub without removing some small amount of material from the OD of the front hubs (or the rear for that matter). They will not bolt onto the back side of the front hub (i.e the factory location)unless modified by opening up the inside hub hole and redrilling the mounting holes. IMHO, the 300ZX four lug rotor, or an aftermarket rotor would be much easier mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
