Aside from a set of thrashed Brembo Z32 calipers that are nearly impossible to find in a wrecking yard (actually, you'd probably only find them on eBay where you can expect to set yourself back a good chunk of change), a more affordable and viable set of front brakes can be had in the form of FastBrakes. On our meager wages we obviously cannot afford the Lexington Steele-like calipers for the 240SX that Brembo lists in its catalog, and the ticket number we pulled for the Z32 calipers reads "2,479" (the number just called was "8" for those keeping score at home).A lot of guys who can't really afford a baller set of brakes but still want proven performance find the answer to their problems with FastBrakes' Wilwood upgrade kits. You don't get as big a caliper, but then again, you probably won't be doing any racing that would necessitate something so large; it'd be like strolling into CVS and walking out with a box of Trojan Magnums (Are you saying you don't use Magnums? - KP). There are a couple different caliper options to choose from and they come with bigger rotors and fresh pads to match, and, not to mention, are quicker to install than the time it took me to learn how to unhook the clasp of a woman's bra by snapping my fingers. Follow along as I once again leave it to the Nissan kings at SR20Store to help me with my brake upgrade.
1. Before you disassemble any part of your braking system, drain the brake fluid. Grab a pan to collect any drippings and make sure you don't spill any on your paint-it'll eat right through it. Also, if your car's as old as mine, don't just switch to a fluid with a higher DOT level since different brake fluids can react badly with one another and corrode your brake system. | 
2. Remove your wheel and prepare to start taking things apart. Unbolt the caliper and temporarily hold it using the brake dust shield so you can take the stock rotors off. |
3. See, everything's bigger now and you didn't even have to call any of those male enhancement ads in the back of our magazine. Larger and thicker diameter rotors are just what the ladies want. |  |
4. Next you'll have to remove the wheel hub in order to access the brake dust shield which must be removed since the FastBrakes caliper adapter bracket won't fit if it's not. Grab a drain pan and place it underneath your work area, then disconnect the factory brakeline where it connects to the main system (not the caliper!). |  |
5. Reinstall the wheel hub then attach the included caliper adapter bracket and temporarily bolt on the FastBrakes rotor to the wheel hub with a couple of lug nuts. | 
6. Assemble the Wilwood caliper per FastBrakes' detailed instruction guide. At this point you will also attach the new brake line (included) to the caliper; use teflon tape to ensure a good seal between the caliper and brake line. |
7. Slide the Wilwood caliper over the new rotor and bolt it to the caliper adapter bracket using FastBrakes' torque specs. Connect the free end of the stainless steel brake line to the main system. Insert the new brake pads and repeat steps one through seven on the opposite side. | 
8. Although the FastBrakes brake upgrade hasn't been tested in any way, we expect to get a good feel for its true capabilities at an upcoming track day. As always, go easy for a good 500 miles to break them in properly before going lead foot crazy. |
9. While the car was getting a good front upgrade, we thought the rear wheels could use one as well. Most 240 enthusiasts would agree that a rear caliper upgrade probably isn't necessary and can be problematic. Your stock calipers are good enough and you'll get by just fine with a set of new rotors, brake pads and stainless steel lines; we picked up this set from Techna Fit for improved brake pedal response. (If this is irrelevant to you, skip to step 11.) | 
10. The Techna Fit lines can be installed quite easily; again, grab a pan to collect any dripping brake fluid and disconnect the stock line from the brake system. |
11. After finishing your brake upgrade, don't forget to bleed the system of any air that may be stuck and refill it with fresh brake fluid. | |
