Rotors compatibilty

Hello... Since i won't warp my rotors again.. time will come when i need to replace them.. Considering i can't find 300zx rotors locally (i checked all over the country) i just need to know if there are rotors of a different car that are compatible to the 300zx.. i heard there is a 350z conversion kit .... i don't know thought i might ask...

Seriously, dude... you need to do your research. www.specialtyz.com www.ztuner.com www.mwsmotorsports.com www.importpartspro.com www.czp.us www.300zx.com ALL of these have brake upgrade options that you could've compared before even making this post.

350Z conversion works if you have 17" or larger wheels, and you need a caliper adapter. There's a VR4 rotor conversion kit that works with stock wheels, and the caliper adapter is about $150 and requires spacers or TT wheels in front. There are other upgrade kits out there, but they will all require brackets that cost over $100.

There are no rotors for another car that you can just put on your car without any modification.

Dude you seriously need to understand my questions more... maybe im not being clear but my question could've been replied with just this sentence=>
"There are no rotors for another car that you can just put on your car without any modification."

I didnt ask you about upgrades ! the thing is there are very few parts for the z32 here... I've searched the whole country (10452km squared) no one sells 300zx rotors.. however 350z's are very common so i easily can find a 350z rotor that's y i was asking ! and again not for upgrading purposes just because there are no 300zx rotors in my country...
P.S: i have 17" wheels

Why dont you just order the rotors? There are plenty of respectable businesses that ship internationally. Or go to a nissan dealership or infiniti dealership and have them order the parts for you. Its going to be more cash (owning a z sure as hell aint cheap!) but im sure its cheaper then upgrading (yes its an upgrade) to 350 brakes.

Shipping to Lebanon isn't an easy process... unlike US shipping which is an extremely easy u just pay shipping which isn't alot for most things... however shipment to Lebanon is very complicated.. you pay for shipping fees from those "respectable businesses" + there is custom fees (those are really a PITA) they can literally put any tax they want on the product.. there isnt any policy.. moreover to get the product from them you should give this "special person" about 150$ for any product to do all the paperwork and stuff .. i don't know what he's called in english but in french he's called "transitaire"
This is why everybody here would try million things before considering shipping unless doing what i did to get an upgraded ECU and popcharger which is to buy the product from the company and ship it to a relative/friend... who lives in the US and wait till he comes back to Lebanon and bring them in with his own personal bags

Therefore upgrading to 350z brakes would cost less and as you said its an upgrade and i didnt say it isn't. i just said that i want to save myself from unnecessary costs like to order oem rotors which would cost me ALOT more trust me.. if it is to upgrade then fine by me since OEM 350z rotors are very easy to have
