Just got a full set of z32 calipers off a 94 Zvert with 60k for $100I went there to get a blower motor for my XR4ti and just happened to see the Z sittin there complete and just wrecked. I asked how much the owner wanted for the calipers and he said he sells all calipers for $25 each nomatter what they are from.

But he wouldn't sell me the hubs without the whole rear suspension (arms, shafts, and pig ext.) and he wouldn't sell my the maf with out buying the whole engine. But I think I got a pretty good deal on just the calipers.

i was going to rebuild them but after further inspection the calipers are in far better shape then my stock ones with no rust or even the slightest hint of leakage, so I might just put them on as is.

i couple months ago i saw 92 fastback with a full turbo / intercooler setup. i probably should have bought it so that i could either re-sell or use some of the intercooler piping.

That would be super sweet to fina a KA-T in the junkyard, but then agian you would have to wonder how it got there.
