Looks good man. Either take off the rest of the black stripe or paint one on in the places that don't have it, it will make it look a heck of a lot cleaner. I bet clay barring it would make the paint look a lot nicer too. I like it!

Edit: Shoot man you're in Va Beach? We need to hook up at a meet or something.

[Chris28]

Ah. I now see the lack of bling behind the wheels making it an old pic haha. Make sure you see the edit to my first post lol

yeah, sucks tho cuz its so dam cold out now a days, you wouldnt happen to be the guy i sold a HUD cluster to a while ago would you?

[Chris28]

Nope, I have a coupe parts car with one in it so I wouldn't need one. You wouldn't happen to know anyone selling a blow off valve locally, would you? Lol sorry for the thread jack

Where did you find such GREAT! deals on calipers?!

[sr20detRcr1]

a friend at work who had a z32 TT parts car, and the irons i found in the classifieds on here

[626silvia]

nice set up! I have the R33 brakes, now all you need is a S14 brake booster and Z32 BMC to complete the best brake setup!

[SirSilvia]

Those look amazing, good job. Most likely no difference if I had 4-bolt and did that

why stock BMC works fine with my wilwood BBK

Cool. I like the color on the calipers.

So, you have both iron and aluminum calipers, and you installed iron calipers on your car. Is there any reason why you chose iron?

i like how the irons look, and one of the threads on my aluminum calipers was stripped

That's cool. I finished the swap on mine a couple of weeks ago too with aluminum calipers. I liked the fins on aluminum calipers, so got them from eBay. I'll do the write up this week hopefully.

[MastaYu]

[Bmxandcars]

Ver Nice.What type, Where did you find those wheels?

It's LM-GT4 copy. Found in Japan.

[Bumnah]

you can get replacement calipers from any of the auto parts stores.

i like my aluminum's, honestly i'd rather go aftermarket in the front, but i went through hell on my brake swap.

did you do the rears too?

[simmode1]

Can anybody vouch for the replacement z32 calipers from dealers like Autozone, O'Reilly's, etc? Are they pretty good or crap? Are they all aluminum or iron? Refurbished OEM or some aftermarket facsimile like Duralast?

[Bmxandcars]

I didnt do the rears cuz i didn't wanna mess with the whole ebrake thing.But i used stainless lines and axxis ultimate pads and i love em. pulls your eyes out when it stops compared to stock

I've seen several Autozone z32 calipers. Here's the story. Yes, they are real z32 calipers collected from junkyards. A company called Beck/Arnley cleans them up, sprays with aluminum paint and replaces seals and clips with aftermarket kits. So, yes they are legit z32 calipers, but look ugly. If you get them from Autozone, I recommend powder coat them and rebuild yourself with OEM kits. Or you can buy failry clean calipers on eBay and rebuild yourself just like I did.

[Csomme]

haha, had to take that down:P lol, someone told me the other day one of their friends got fired for something they said on a forum. ha, so I'm not gonna risk it. lol.

the jist though.///Z32's from autozone are re-cast, AND have no Nissan logo on them. Personally, I am going with used ones That I will rebuild. (I think that sounds better than before. lol)

quick question: Those just bolt right up with the stock braking/suspension system, right? all you need are the new conversion brake lines?

Sorry to threadjack.

Exactly what I wanted to know! A good friend of mine is an Autozone Assistant Manager so I can get a pretty good price on them! Thanks!

Welp, I work at autozone, and personally, they aren't worth it. First of all, they don't have the Nissan logo on them, and the castings are a little bit messy. They ARE quality calipers, but They are so freakin' expensive, that yu could buy used ones, rebuild them and powdercoat them for the same price(if you look for a resonable deal).

So///dont' go with autozone's Z32 calipers:) haha, not worth it.

EDIT: Oh.

EDIT: Oh.

haha, welp, we don't get discounts on VDP parts, so you better pray the HUB has them, or the store has them in stock. I think there are only a couple moments out of the year when we get discounts on VDP, and I forget when they are. lol

[S13Joe]

i really wanna do this swap too, how do you like the new brakes? how do they feel in comparison to stock?

[94_240sx]

Answered already. BTW, size is 17x8 +38 4-lug just like LM-GT4 wheels.
