Recently i have been looking at converting my brakes and suspension to that of a 300zx twin turbo. Twin turbo 300zx's have 32mm front rotors and 4 piston aluminum calipers and a 240sx has a half the size rotors and single piston calipers. Also the 300zx has 5 lug hubs unlike a 240sx that has 4 lug hubs. In order to swap the brakes and hubs all i would need is some bigger 5 lug rims aftermarket front hubs and the factory 300zx brakes and rear hubs. Now all I have to do is find a 300zx in a junkyard or find someone selling parts on eBay or something and bolt them right on.
The advantage to having bigger brakes is that the brakes would resist fade under consistent heavy braking that would occur in race conditions. With 5 lug hubs the choice of rims would be much larger because there are many more cars that are 5 lug then there are cars with 4 lug hubs with the same bolt pattern as the 240sx.
