Getting Calipers Rebuilt

[RoNx777]

I jus got a set of used Z32 calipers, but before i put them on i prefer to have them rebuilt jus to be safe. I stopped by my local Nissan dealer and they said the dont rebuild calipers. Where should i go to and approx how much is it gonna run me???

Try somewhere like Autozone, or a similar store. I have no idea what the charge would be.

Autozone will do it...or actually they take your old ones and give you a set of rebuilt ones in exchange.  Don't remember how much it costs.  I don't think they do a whole lot to them though, so if the ones you have are in good working order, I wouldn't spend the extra money.

I say get them replaced. I tried calling Pep Boys and they wanted like 97 dollars per caliper "loaded" and the core return was 35 bucks. I think its worth the money. Or you can even sell those on ebay and try and get away with returning your stock calipers &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Good idea mbm <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

RoNx777, if you choose to do it yourself, here (http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnettech/caliperrebuild/caliperrebuild.html) is a How-To for that. &nbsp;I assume you bought 300zx calipers?

like mbm and dsc said diy

you can use steel wool to do the whole thing wont take more than 10 minutes each caliper u might need an air compressor to push the pistons out though.

i remember reading somewhere b4, that auto zone rebuilds them...true/false???

I'll do it for $50 if you live in SoCal. Or if you pay for shipping both ways. They'd be beadblasted too. Email me.
