300ZX caliper question...

[driftjunke]

At autozone, they say they get oem remanufactured 300zx calipers for 55 plus a core, so basically 100 bucks. Thery say that it's a 2 piston caliper, not 4. Do they even make a 2 piston fron caliper?

Or is it just there wording?

J.D.

[cdlong]

all '90-96 300ZXs used the same type of 4 piston opposed piston calipers. it's probably just the wording. btw, just take back your old calipers as a core charge, they never check and most guys wouldn't know the difference as long as it is a brake caliper.

[marshun]

i think i might do this. maybe they mean 2 pistons on each side? hehe

[916drifter]

Ok this may sound like a really stupid question, but if the calipers are remanufactured and sold at autozone, does it have the "nissan" bling on the caliper? Or is a blank caliper?

[youngturk]

driftjunke: Make sure they are not talking about a 2 piston rear caliper for the 300ZX, since the rears were equipped with 2 piston calipers,

[wootwoot]

also make sure they are talking about the z32(1990-1996)thats what i've got my money on

[Dattebayo]

how much would it be for knuckles too? Anyone, I dont have an autozone around here. Dp you think pep boys would have 'em?

[sirwarrior]

when i checked with autozone(91 Z32 - 30mm aluminum), they said it is a 4 piston.

i'm more curious of the nissan bling. i think since it's a pepboys it's just a 4 piston with clean sides.

[Hijacker]

they are remanned factory units, so yes, it will have the nissan "bling" on it

[yellow_jacket]

It just will not have the pins and springs to hold the pads in place.

[BuudWeizErr]

the Z31's were two piston as well, so make sure you have the correct years... 90+

[sirwarrior]

actually autozone had 4-piston LOADED calipers for the same car for only $140.But they are discontinued from what i understand.The above would give you pretty much all the needed hardware AND pads

[yellow_jacket]

It's cheaper just to buy the unloaded calipers, get pads, and make your own pins.

I guess it doesn't matter since no one sells loaded 300z calipers anymore.

[SoCalS14]

Top Hat performance does....they even powder coat them for ya...

[yellow_jacket]

yep, they do. I actually bought my braided brake lines from him. I've met him at a meet and he is a good guy. I just can't justify spending that much money on loaded calipers. I spent a whopping total of $160 for calipers, rotors, and pads. The calipers were remanufactured units, the rotors and pads were brand new.

[ca18det_boy]

HI guys, just thought I would let all you know that advance auto parts has loaded cali's for $130.

[Ghost_silvia]

Do you know if the front+rear calipers will bolt up to the knuckles to a 91 240sx? Because I don't want to do a 5 lug conversion.

[hannibal]

the caliper mounting bolts are the same. you will have to drill the rotor to fit the 4 lug pattern. But the calipers bolt onto the same place where the OEM caliper bolts onto.

EDIT: Damn, that was ugly. Corrected to reflect standard English grammar rules
