30mm z32 calipers and S14 16" SE rims

Post by **240SXer** » Sun May 16, 2004 4:56 pm

I'm gonna try locally first. Because it sounds like I can probably get away with it. There aren't too many 240s here (only like 3 are owned by people who would care).

By the way what is the difference between aluminum and iron? Besides the weight...obveously.

Yeah thats the cheapest way.Just watch out on your receipt,mine says 4piston units on the receipt.If the chevy lover at autozone has half a brain,he might think something is fishy.Another thing you can do is buy them at one autozone,and return the cores like a week later at a different one.

I read this before it just tells you how to tell them apart, It really doesnt say what the diff is between iron and aluminum.

Well supposedly the aluminum ones can warp under very hard braking,I realy don't think they would unless you were doing 200-0mph braking like 500 times in a row.Not that anyone of people on the board have engines to propel the car to that speed.And if they could go that fast,then you would need this 8piston kit http://www.iceperformance.com/240sxBrakes.htmland not the simple z32 brakes

lol $2000 fro brakes, thats the cost of an SR20DET

Post by **phatpat240** » Sun May 16, 2004 4:56 pm

Yeah the 8pot kit is 3g's.that's the cost of a s14 sr,plus you would have to invest in some 19's to clear the brakes

SO what exactly do I need to order? 91 300zx (turbo? or non?), then what other options are there?

Post by **phatpat240** » Sun May 16, 2004 4:56 pm

Well it depends on which ones you want.I got the 26mm aluminum ones. They are alittle thinner,for less chance of a wheel fitament issues.I say go with aluminum either way. check out this website again to see which one you want. http://www.princeton.edu/~asad/zbrakes/

Just go to autozone and tell them you want either a 90 or 91 set of calipers.If you want to buy mine,I'll sell them for $150 plus shippng.I just painted them a super shiny black. Remember if you buy the unloaded apir from autozone,then your gonna spend another $80 for all the hardware.

how do i paint the the "nissan" in white on the calipers??????

Why white? Mine look white in the photo,but it's just a bad angle.Mine are silver in color.I just took masking tape and cut out the letters.I then sprayed the caliper w/ the black several coats.Then I just took off the tape,And shot several coats of clear over the whole caliper. If you wanted to paint the nissan letters white,it would be a bit more work.You could paint the letters white before you paint the caliper,then tape off the letters.Paint the caliper,then take the tape off and spray the whole caliper in the clear. Plus the white letters would show dirt alot sooner than silver letters

Post by **Nissan-S14** » Sun May 16, 2004 4:56 pm

well, i already painted the calipers black. And my car is black, and my rims are gun metal, so i thaught white would look really good. Hmmmmm I dont know what if i do it with a brush, buy a white spray can and spray the paint into a bottle and then just painted with a brush?

Post by **phatpat240** » Sun May 16, 2004 4:56 pm

I don't know,but it's gonna take a delicate hand to paint just the letters.Best bet is to mask off the rest as best as possible. Good luck

I see these 2 at autozone, which do I get? What's the difference? One is a lot more expencive

core cost

MORSE P1674 LLT $14.00 $148.99 ARI 13-926465 LLT $63.00 $139.99

Post by **Nissan-S14** » Sun May 16, 2004 4:56 pm

one is probably loaded and the other is not

Post by **240SXer** » Sun May 16, 2004 4:56 pm

Nah, they're both loaded.

Post by **240SXer** » Sun May 16, 2004 4:56 pm

Okay, i'll need loaded calipers, rotors, lines, and what else?

What are shims? Will the calipers include the pins? I want to buy everything before I start (don't want downtime). I want to make sure i've got EVERYTHING before I start.

Ok you have the wrong number I think.The loaded pair should only be $94 plus like a $90 core.If you buy the loaded ones,they should be ready to bolt up,should already have the pins,clips ,and springs. If you buy unloaded ones,you will have to buy the hardware kit from the dealer $80.It inlcudes pins,clips,springs,and the shim kit

here's info for a non turbo 26mm aluminum set MORSE P1397 LLT $95.00 $93.99from autozone

Post by **240SXer** » Sun May 16, 2004 4:56 pm

This is for a 92 turbo,it should be 30mm aluminum.MORSE P1399 LLT $23.00 $138.99thats for a loaded pair.You shouldn't worry about the 30mm or 26mm,you will never know the difference.They are also about $45 more than the 26mm ones

Post by **240SXer** » Sun May 16, 2004 4:56 pm

I'm also worried about buying rotors in the future. I see more 30mm for sale for better prices? Or am I wrong? The ones you are selling, are they loaded? What else would I need?

You shouldn't have any problem finding 26mm rotors.And they should always be the same price if not cheaper.I mean you can get a pair for $44 @nopi.com The ones I have aren't loaded. You have a plus and a minus on the loaded ones.Plus-you don't have to buy the hardware or pads.Minus- the hardware is probably the same from the original car(lots of miles) plus no pads,but most everyone replaces the pads with hi performance ones. Either way you go,you'll have less than $400 in a high peroformance set of brakes. Let me know if your interested in mine.I sent you a few pics

I'm about to pick up some 1995 300zx turbo calipers (loaded). I already got some earl conversion lines. Then just the rotors and i'm done right?

Post by **240SXer** » Sat Nov 13, 2004 3:32 pm

The rotors on Nopi are only $51. But they're $32 to ship to me. That's not really worth it. I can buy them at autozone for 100 and not have to worry about shipping
