I recently went to my local Autozone to price up some things for ****s and giggles. Much to my surprise, 26MM aluminum Z32 calipers came up at $50.99 a piece plus core. Front calipers. Certainly this must be a mistake. They are remans, but cmon, I'll take a remanned part anyday. Online confirms the price, could it perhaps be a computer error? Another thing, the Advance Auto Parts website has a picture up of the calipers they have, and it doesn't say NISSAN on the side. Will every Z32 caliper have it, regardless of whether it's a remanned unit or not? If this is all true it prices my Z32 brake swap well under $400, and may convince me to do it instead of my original Q45 brake plans........

So you would get your core charge back when you turn over your s13 calipers? How much is the core charge by the way?

The core charge is like $60 per caliper. Luckily for me, my friend works at AutoZone, so he gets 20% discount.
