I have the fronts done…  
but recently I bought the 300zx N/A rear brakes with everything needed and I’ll do the swap asap.

For the rear brake swap you need:  
e-brake assembly  
baking plate  
hubs  
bearings  
R33 (GTS-T Skyline) e-brake cables (Left & Right)  
rotors  
calipers with all the clips/springs/(hardline that’s on the caliper)  
pads  
240sx/z32 rear conversion lines  
300zx brake master cylinder with the middle flare fitting that’s inside the MC (I don’t have ABS).

That’s all that should be needed for the rear brake swap. The front brakes are pretty easy, all you need is:

rotors  
calipers with all the clips/springs/(hardline that’s on the caliper)  
pads  
conversion lines

Importnut does a good write up and there tons of pics. I would use that write up as a general guide.

edit: If you are doing the swap yourself, I would dedicate a weekend for all this…

you need to be careful which ones you get. The front TT & NA brakes were the same for all the years, except for 1990 (or 91) where the NA got the 26mm calipers. With the fronts you don’t have to worry much since you can bolt both of them to your car.

However, the rear ones MUST be from an NA car otherwise you won’t be able to bolt the hubs to the output shafts of the differential. The calipers will bolt on w/o problems even if you got the rear ones from a TT, but the hubs wouldn’t.
