autozone z32 3omms

Post by **FRnIsmO** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 8:17 pm

i have some 26mms and have an op. to trade them in for 30mms with a fee but they don't remember if it has the nissan logo on them. i love to see it say nissan on the calipers but will settle (or might not) for some 3omms unbranded so i can upgrade in rotor size...maybe 350tracks or mustang cobraz... anyone know if the autozone (or such stores) say nissan or anymore info about them???

hope this is easier on the eye

I can only assume you are talking about the calipers?If they are reman'd they will have the NISSAN casting. Honestly I have yet to see any new aftermarket calipers that are blanked out. Could be wrong though.

WTF are you talking about?

Please go and learn English before you type a sentence on here. I cant even make out what your trying to say

z32 calipers 26mms for 30mms at autozone, do the autozone calipers have the nissan logo

Post by **Black on Gold** » Sat Jul 12, 2008 5:45 pm

Yeas they have too.

not sure? ever seen a pair of calipers from an autozone type store? i have a fully functional pair of 26 mms and kinda feel low about it....i got all 4 for 150 and it's 82 per caliper to trade them in for 30mms...does anyone have 26 mms and wish they had 30mms for more stopping power? is anyone content with these calipers? thanks

Sun Jul 13, 2008 12:39 pm

actually, no I don't think they say Nissan on them. iirc, they're just blank. I could be wrong though

Post by **FRnIsmO** » Sun Jul 13, 2008 12:43 pm

iirc? not sure what that means but i just think it cant because its not an officaial nissan product unless its rebuilt...does anyone have any thoughts about these calipers without the logo? kinda ricey? there's so many more options with wider calipers though. just a thought, thankx

Sun Jul 13, 2008 12:45 pm

iirc = if I recall correctly

ricey? man... the pupose of larger calipers is to upgrade in your braking power. wtf does a logo have to do if its doing it's job.

i feel you on that but just throwing that out there to see how the 240 community thinks. has anyone upgraded to the cobra rotors 13inches? the 350z tracks are 12.75. some say both are too much...http://my240.epijunkie.com/5_Lug_and_Z3 ... ersionwhat do you(s) think? thanks

Post by **Black on Gold** » Sun Jul 13, 2008 1:02 pm

They do have the logo. I got mine from Autozone. When people bring in the core, they use that to rebuild the calipers.

Post by **FRnIsmO** » Sun Jul 13, 2008 1:06 pm

perfect! thanks alot, thats exactly what i need to hear.

hm. confirmed then...

I guess cuz I remember talking to my buddy awhile back when he used to work at vatozone and he told me he can get me a set of rebuilt calipers at a good price... and the pic he sent me didn't have the nissan logo.

Post by **FRnIsmO** » Sun Jul 13, 2008 1:34 pm

maybe not all calipers they sell are rebuilt

Post by **Black on Gold** » Sun Jul 13, 2008 1:40 pm

They are here. When you get them they will be covered in grease and they will be all gray in color

Post by **FRnIsmO** » Sun Jul 13, 2008 3:34 pm

after the grease, where they ready to paint?

Post by **Black on Gold** » Sun Jul 13, 2008 4:21 pm

I cleaned them off and then painted them. Do remember that it will come off with contact to brake fluid and other liquids. They chip very easy. I just painted mine for the hell of it.

Post by **FRnIsmO** » Sun Jul 13, 2008 6:15 pm

the caliper paint chips? are they ceramic coating? did you spray of brush?

spray. I really could not careless. Make sure you update us when you put yours on.

Is a 4mm thicker rotor REALLY going to translate into increased stopping power?

I have 26mm and the only reason I want to go to 30mm is for the increase in availability of rotors...26mm aftermarket rotors are few and far between. But I'm pretty lazy so I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon.

Post by **Black on Gold** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 11:52 am

I have 26's myself. I dont really care for the rotors.Im happy with my Hawk HPS pads

Post by **FRnIsmO** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 12:17 pm

i know it may seem like 4mms but with the 30mm calipers you can stuff different rotors into them. not sure if you guys know but the 30mms can take 350z track edition rotors that are 12.75inches instead of the 11" z32 and you can also use the 13" cobra rotors with an adaptor but that's only 50 to 60 dollars.

think of it as a stoptech or brembo upgrade but still nissan

Post by **Black on Gold** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 12:48 pm

Eh...

Unless i was building a 600hp Track Car i wouldnt really bother with the Z32->Z33 brake upgrade

Post by **FRnIsmO** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 12:55 pm

if it ever turned into that in the long run, you can trade your 26mms for 30 with 82 each and upgrade. not for everyone, true but way less then other setups. anyone's blood rushing after this? im sorry, i was soOo excited when i found out

Post by **Black on Gold** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 1:06 pm

Yea, its not a bad idea. I wouldnt pay for that kit though. I'd stop over at my Uncle's shop and make it myself

Post by **FRnIsmO** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 2:02 pm

well that's always a plus. some ppl use grade 8 metric bolts which are camparable to grade 5 english. they get soft with heat and can snap so use grade 12.9 grade alloy steel bolts with socket head cap screw which cost more but are safer. just throwing that out there for anyone serious about fabricating it themselves

Post by **Clawhammer** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 4:02 pm

Make sure you can actually get them first lol. You're not the first person to think about this. Many autozones, especially those in big metro areas have those things on indefinite backorder from 240 guys buying them + the core charge.

Post by **FRnIsmO** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 4:20 pm

definately, some dont even have them in the warehouses but 240s are now getting popular in the jersey area. the honda sceen is dying down but still the best thing to gasoline outhere are the k series motors and i don't mean the KA. we have a few strong car clubs like NJtuners, PriDe, and definately regiment zerO holding NJ down. basically they arent that hard to get at is what i'm saying. im definately not going to by the 350z rotors without the 30mm caliplers if thats what you mean.

Post by **Black on Gold** » Tue Jul 15, 2008 2:27 pm

There's plenty around here. I actually got them shipped to RH from a Metro City (Charlott,NC) haha.

Post by **FRnIsmO** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 8:33 pm

just looking back at the old thread and wanted to update and say i traded my 26mm calipers for 30s at auto zone and they actually had another kind of caliper set that was an additional 120+ the 26mms and were of Higher performance...i had no idea these calipers were even out and they werent tt models....anyone heard of this? they came painted in your choice of yellow, red, or black and were official nissan brakes
