If what? Not sure if you completed your question...

I assume you are asking if you can swap them? Anything is possible with enough time and money, but to answer your question directly: NO, they do not just swap over.

Why not? Many reasons. Take a look at both cars and you'll see. Kinda like why a square peg doesn't fit in a round hole.

First Google result: z32 brakes on 72 240z - HybridZ

Get into what?

If you are looking for a brake upgrade, search the forum for Toyota S12 and S12+8 calipers. That's more of a direct swap.

Also, remember that there is a science behind brakes. Slapping big brake on up front without balancing out the rear will cause heavy front braking and stability issues.
