ok, ok I'll listen to that s*** because you have credible info, I'm not scared from any of you b****es and I'll be the first to admitt if i'm "somewhat" wrong, but to listen to all of the pimple faced haters here, which serves 98.886 % of the people on this forum claiming this and that, I refuse to hear them because all they do is name call and talk... but the fact still remains: I'll get cheap on anything (but I don't) except brakes, espacially calipers that nice from AZ, do you know how many I return from defective rebuilds and early failures? about 4 or 5 out of ten, thats why I rebiuld my own for me and customers because I take the time and care.. I'm not going to trust some underpaid person shoving them down the line..

I'll be the first to admitt if i'm "somewhat" wrong,

Wow, your a classy dude. Sorry to say mate, but your wrong. It's obliviously tough for you to swallow, but we all make mistakes. Not a big deal. And yes, your still coming off an arrogant prick.

You need to be supremely qualified to get away with arrogance, which your not.

I don't think there are haters here, just people who want to make sure some noob troll doesn't tell someone else some blatantly wrong info that could cost someone money for no reason.

Calling a caliper chinese because the reman company bead blasted it to clean it is pretty hilarious though.

we are not hating, we are not trying to scare you and i'm sure a lot of us don't have pimples since we are over the age of 16

you are just getting bent out of shape cuz you got corrected, then pwned by FACTS....i get pwned by facts from time to time but i admit that i don't know everything, just accept it and move on

Just to add to the circus here:

To fill orders, some auto parts remanufacturers will buy (or have on hand) New Nissan Z32 Calipers and Box them as reman

The first ten years in the industry I dealt with reman calipers daily. I've seen new calipers in reman boxes more than once, held them in my hands, jaw on floor. Dealer retail for Z32 caliper being $500+ each..

You never know what's in that box. Like Christmas should be.

To the OP, aluminum reman calipers can end up looking a little rough due to soft metal(as previously stated), monkeys for reman shop laborers, handling, and so on. You have Japanese calipers, remanufactured likely in Mexico, not Chinese calipers..

That's exactly what happened to me. I ordered a set of z32 calipers from Autozone and one was brand new caliper from Beck-Arnley and the other was reman. Autozone guy was very helpful, so he ordered two more for the other side to see if new ones will come in, but it never did. So, I used brand new caliper for one side and used one for the other.

Lot's of interesting information here...

to add to Mr. spooled240s results.

this job was done with duplicolors spray high-temp paintthere base color and there high temp clear.

you can get great results if you do it right.

Can you tell me which rotors these are? And where to get them? They look like the one's I've seen on Kragen's website. Trying to source my rotors and pads as the last thing for my complete (w/ebrake) swap.
