I'm wondering if they come w/ the nissan emblem or not (pictures online don't show anything)?

Both for front & rear.

Thanks guys.

Yes... but please don't tell me that's why you're buying them.

haha, not exactly...

Well, I already have the 300zx brakes on my car - Only thing is the fronts have shaved emblems from the previous owner of the calipers I bought.

Also, my kit is used, of course. I'm looking to change them over later in the year w/ brand new/remanufactured ones, and having the emblem is a plus .

So I have ulterior rice motives, sue me.

Thanks for your really fast response

I've heard the autozone calipers are hit or miss. They garuantee them to work but not to be pretty. I have heard of people getting pristene (sp?) calipers that look brand new and also heard of people getting calipers with gashes and chunks in them. For the most part I think that is an untapped source so far for calipers. Giving the market value on ebay, Autozone can often be cheaper.

I go rebuilt calipers from autozone, they had the nissan lettering still on them. Just a word of advice, make sure to get twin turbo calipers that were not on the later year models (whenever they switched to iron) I ordered calipers from a '95, and sure enough, they were iron. not that iron's bad, but they are kinda heavy. http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htmthat link should have everything you ever wanted to know about the swap. helped me get my full swap done in no time at all (minus the ebrake, that was from hell)
