Five Lug Install Locking Plate

Five Lug Install Brake Line To Brake
Tighten the Circuit Sports brake line onto the new fitting on the back of Z32 caliper.
Five Lug Install Brake Line To Strut
Move the brake line to the mount on the strut and secure using the clip you removed earlier.
Five Lug Install New Brakes And Lugs
Now you can slow your roll that much faster. Enough of the calipers, on to the Z32 master cylinder!
Five Lug Install Loosen Hard Lines
Loosen and remove the three hard lines going into the brake master cylinder using a 10mm wrench.
Five Lug Install Master Cylinder
Grab a 12mm wrench and remove the two nuts holding the master cylinder to the brake booster.
Five Lug Install Swap Z32
Because the 300ZX only uses two hard lines, the center fitting of the Z32 master cylinder isn't used. To properly work with the 240SX, remove the five-point screw (hint: file down a similar hex key) and inspect whether there is an inverted flare fitting. If there is, you can proceed. If not, you must swap with the fitting off of your stock unit. We were lucky.
Five Lug Install New Master Cylinder
Install the new master cylinder, fastening the two 12mm nuts and hard lines.
Five Lug Install Top Off And Bleed
Top off the reservoir and properly bleed the entire brake system. It may take each caliper several times to sufficiently remove all the air.
