i think i got jipped need some help/info

[ka-turbo]

i just bought some nissan 300zx brake up grade, and i think i might of paid waaaaay more than i would of....i would like some input from u guys....dam i totally feel like a noob but w/e...its been a while ive been busy doin other things soo my info and knowledge from things have been a lil behind

i bought
front and rear 5 lug hubs that are good condition
rear e-brake and dust shield with the e-brake 2+2 cables and has the correct anchor bolt and good brake shoes
f&r calipers that came with stainless steel braided brake lines for the front and rear calipers, also came wit brake pads

soo everything i need to do the swap and work

all this for a $1000......!?!?!?!?!?

[derass]

i think this is a good price for a complete z32 brake and 5 lug swap with ebrake parts. and stainless lines... you could have asked to knock off 100-200 beacuse of no rotors but w/e

[herbieS13]

just alittle steep

[ManoNegra]

what difference does it make at this point
things are worth whatever you're willing to pay
assuming the items in question are in good condition
I'd say that's a fair price for everything
broke kids will probably disagree though

I disagree, does that mean I'm broke?

Lol

Me I would pull all of that from a junkyard for like a third the price

it came wit front and rear 5 lug rotors
sooo do u still think its a bad price

i was thinkinn bout it too and i figured i should of had him knock off 100-200, and would of been a legit deal then

soo u guys think i paid a tad bit over what its worth?????
i guess as long as i didnt truelly over pay like a couple of hundred (200-300) or more than what its worth...do u guys think it was worth it though???

The value of its worth really depends on what you plan on doing with the car after the brakes have been upgraded. If you're just planning to use it as a daily driver and just install it to have some extra stopping power then i would say no, it's not worth it.

On the other hand, if you're gonna track it, drift it, or do something where bigger and better brakes are necessary, then yeah I would say it is worth it

Based on the general consensus of the responses of this thread, it looks like you paid a fair price for that conversion

dude, chill out. all that came from the same sentence lol. you asked your question and the general concensus is NO you didn't overpay. why is this such a big deal to you? its done, you bought it, can't change anything, install it and forget about it.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Whats the point of this thread? You already paid for it and its not like the seller will give you some of the money back because some random strangers may or may not think you over paid for it.

[JuMPiiN]

No you didnt over pay, I know I paid like 1500-1700 for the 5 lug conversion, 300zx TT front brakes and lines. that was like in 04 though. ( I didnt buy them previous owner did i had the receipt )

[jamg]

you got ripped off.

[feadz]

Did you get a master cylinder too? I paid about $1050 piecing together a whole setup minus pads and rotors, 30mm alum. front and rear calipers, e-brake assembly w/cables, master cylinder, new stainless steel lines, rear z32 5 lug hub, new front ichiba 5 lug and s14 Se wheels. Seems like you did alright.

[iHeartTheTouge]

You could have done a lot better sourcing a majority of these parts from a scrapyard, although Z32 parts are hard to find. Depending on the condition of the parts you got, I think you did OK. Not great, not horrible. Its been awhile since I bought Z32 stuff, and the last Z32 brakes I sold I gave away.. so I can't comment TOO much on the price. Just that you could have done better. If it all works out great, then you got your money's worth.

[jchrisw85]

that's actually a decent price as long as you the calipers are at least rebuilt. i only paid 250 for mine lol but that's cause i have a mechanic friend with enough spare parts to build four s13's. But put it this way, one caliper was siezed so i didnt want to take the risk and ended up getting all of them rebuilt.

[ThatGuy]

This is over. :lockd:
