hey, i'm looking for some z32 calipers and i'm kinda having a hard time finding them.

before you say check out our sales forum... i have been scammed twice on this board. once for an alternator - $100 and second for a pair of Q45 brakes - $370

Caoboy - I STILL WANT MY BRAKES!

anyway, i have checked all of the local junk yards and can't find any. anyone have any suggestions?

Auto Parts store (NAPA, ADVANCE, etc...) Alittle pricier, but with alittle luck, the will take your 240 calipers so you can get the core charge back if you take them back at a different time.

I checked with Advanced, Autozone, and Napa and all were on B/O at the end of September. Then I called one of my buddies at Advanced and ask him to research this last years sales for these calipers. All calipers that came available at any of their warehouses were shipped to a certain specialty Z32 store in west Georgia called http://www.z1motorsports.com Also found out later that Crown remanufacturing is on national B/O for these. There are other companys out there with rebuilt and remaned calipers but they want a hell of alot more than any of the previous vendors listed.

Sucks to be you guys! I live in Iowa and called on the calipers about two weeks ago and they said they had a set, both front and rear. Gotta love living in the midwest where the good-ole country boys swear by domestic muscle. It leaves more parts for me!

Kinda surprised they don't have them in Wichita, KS. Talk about the middle of nowhere.

Go to NAPA.

I just got mine there last month. They will have to order them. Ge the 93-96 calipers, loaded. $90 after tax per each caliper. Not bad, totally re-man, pads/shims, ready to bolt on.

try http://www.car-parts.com

i ordered my front calipers from a yard in north carolina for around $90 total. You take the risk of getting bad calipers this way, though. But given how well made the 4 pot nissan calipers are, i think that risk is low.
