well if i can get one for 170 then itll totally rule

DuffMan · 01-14-2003, 05:49 AM

I think I can, but more research is required.

Also this involves purchasing no used/junkyard parts.

saga240 · 01-14-2003, 06:46 PM

wow.. if you can do that.. youd be my new hero.. hah

adey · 01-15-2003, 11:49 PM

the best I can do is get rebuilt front Z calipers for $100/pair... to get lines, rotors and pads for $70 sounds like a pretty darn good deal to me.
Please, tell us how!

DuffMan · 01-16-2003, 03:08 AM

pads are not included in the 170 dollars. So it is a $170 + Pads conversion.

saga240 · 01-20-2003, 10:42 PM

haha so are you selling it yet

**West** · 01-21-2003, 10:59 AM

im lost...

DuffMan · 01-21-2003, 04:22 PM

Actually it doesn't quite work out with the Z calipers. But what you could do is buy loaded infiniti Q45 brake calipers from autozone for $90 a pair and the discs are only about $35 each, and they work with the stock lines. So you could have a complete brake upgrade for $160.

It's just Q45 brakes instead of Z32.

Jsquared · 04-11-2003, 11:00 PM

what kind of brakes do the Q45s have?

DuffMan · 05-14-2003, 11:51 AM
