Just got some '91 z32 calpiers, 30mm alum, i fair condition. This is my problem one of the calipers is missing 3 of the bolts that hold it together. (the Calipers are held together by 4 4 inch bolts with an inch and a half of treads)

the dilemna is I can not find these parts anywere. Nissan says they make them but he can not get them because they do not have a parts number, went to NAPA and they have something but it is not hardened, went to the hardware store nothing.

So if you know were to get them form i would enjoy your feedback.

are you talking about the bolts that actually hold the 2 halves of the caliper together??? if so, i think you should probably get rebuilt calipers and turn those in as cores.... in the z32 service manual it says NEVER to loosen or take those bolts out.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread...I've just gotten my 26mm calipers. getting ready to order the Brembo blanks, Axxis pads and SS lines.My question is, every set of pads I find online does not differentiate between 26mm or 30mm calipers. Are the pads interchangeable? Am I safe ordering these?

One more question... Where do you guys order the Brembo blank rotors from? All I can fing are the cross-drilled or the slotted ones. Can you guys direct me to a good site?
