They're definitely smaller than 350Z brembos and they cost less too, but still a decent upgrade.

do they work well on S-chassis? i would say yes. How much better than Z32? probably not much. |

Well, the rotors are 296mm and 32mm thick so they have more swept area and the vanes are canted so they suck air through them. Coooling is def more efficient than z32 brakes. I could see how the R32 gt-r could make them fade faster because of the extra weight. I had them on my s14 and never had brake fade issues. I don't know how they compare to 350z brembos coz I never looked into those.

![]() I'm not sure whether or not I should split my calipers in half before powdercoat. Therefore the bolts will be powdercoated during the process. I guess it's not a big deal since the bolts are facing the back of the calipers, it wouldn't really matter. I'm still in the process of sanding my other rear caliper since the previous owner spraypainted it black using shitty paint (it's chipping off.) i'd figure that sanding the front of the caliper only and leaving the back as-is should be okay, since the front will only show... I don't know, What do you think I should do? |

and the whole issue about separating the calipers. IMO id just leave them together because I have aluminum ones and aluminum material at times can be hassle if handled improperly plus I'm really anal when it comes to bolting shit back up to FSM torque specs. hopefully the inner seals holds up to the oven temperature the coating guys put it through. oh and just to give a little idea about pricing. I gave my local powder coating guys in toronto a call and they gave me this: $20 per caliper using their black paint. he told me to come in and get a quote for custom colours. |

I like where this is going!
For a cheap fix I'm pretty sure you can get caliper specific paint for cheap at the local auto parts store. And as far as splitting the calipers to paint them, it really is entirely unnecessary. You can paint them just as well put together as you can split in half, might as well just save yourself the extra time and leave em together. Is there any harm in taking them apart? I couldn't really tell you, but will keeping them together save you time and yield the same results? Yup. |

please read the whole thread instead of turning this into a questions thread, and OP you should start quoting good information and putting it in the first post so all of the herp derps of zilvia will not ask a question that has been BEAT TO DEATH on page 2 of this thread in page 3.

If you can't get them sandblasted why not mask the rubber pieces and use paint stripper? That's what I always use... just make sure you use the stuff outside with a breeze. It's pretty toxic. |

i would say that your calipers look nice if it wasnt for those shitty wheel adapters and bullshit washer/dryer exhaust flex pipe thats fucking zip-tied and crunched like a chewed on straw

I'm sure someone else can chime in but I haven't dealt with a powder coater locally or online that will even attempt to powder coat calipers unless tooken apart completely. Every company I have dealt with have specifically asked to have the calipers broken down. Again.... no one is right or wrong on whether calipers should be seperated or not but I've done em whether iron or aluminum, majority of them aluminum and will continue to do em, to each his own

its almost like this forum has mentally retarded individuals on it. i asked the questions, no one answered. instead of having a technical discussion with facts, we get idiots repeating the same gaddamn thing. ITS ALREADY STATED IN THE FSM - DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE CALIPERS WHEN YOU DISASSEMBLE THE HALVES, YOU RISK STRIPPING THREADS DUE TO BINDING THE ALUM W/ STEEL BOLTS WHEN YOU DISASSEMBLE, WE DONT HAVE PROPER TORQUE VALUES no one seems to give a fuck or answer these questions. powdercoaters are no different than fucking painters, are they engineers? no, they fucking sand-blast, spray, and heat things... thats their job. FYI, I've spoken to Brembo direct about disassembling their calipers and they dont even suggest taking the pistons apart. I think thats a bit far-fetched, but it should be common sense based on the above risks that disassembling the halves is not a good idea. Now, how hard is it to soak them in solvent, then air blast the channels to ensure the brake fluid is removed from them? not hard at all. stupid idiots |

I just sent my z32 calipers in to get sandblasted and powdercoated! Now the waiting begins
![]() I'm thinking a mint-green (seafoam green) color! Hope it looks good! |

Y'all are a bunch of pussies if you're afraid to disassemble.
I've taken apart 4 sets, rebuilt and powder coated, and run on my own car. Why do you think rebuild kits are available..? Also - if you follow the "don't disassemble" that the FSM preaches then you better make sure your camber, caster, toe don't go out of spec. |

what does brembo have to do with oem nissan shit? well fuck-face, considering brembo makes calipers for a good majority of OE applications, i'de say their advice should be listened to. Who makes the OE z32 calipers? Sumitomo. Who makes the OE z33 track calipers? Brembo. NISSAN sells rebuild kits for both z32 and z33 calipers, but never the halve o-rings. anyway, its stupid.. we're getting hung on details and idiots here will never listen to advice. I believe I made a mistake taking a few pairs apart years ago, and I admit it. Stubborn idiots here wont ever admit shit. "Just because you ARE a character, doesnt mean you HAVE character" |
