this might be a stupid question so if anyone could just answer it really quick and then we can erase this, but why dont people just buy their z32 calipers from an autoparts store, wouldnt that be better since they are rebuilt rather than buying calipers that came off a car in the junkyard
thanks

Why would there the flaming? Like, 4 years ago, I think Tampa Autozones had the cheapest z32 calipers in the country, by far. And I shipped a few sets out to people on here for much less than their store was charging, I just needed their 240sx calipers for core. Since you bring cores in after you take the z32 pieces, nobody but a 240 nut would know the difference. And certainly some guy making $8.00/hr wouldn't care, even if he did know.

how much are they from a parts store? I think they are a lot, you can get um from a junkyard really cheap. Our junkyards here in des moines iowa are all picked over though.

Yea. It has to do with shipping, and paying for their time to procure core calipers if they aren't asking for yours. It's not *usually* price gouging.
