Sandblasted and painted my new Z32 calipers!

**kevie88** · 02-10-2004, 09:20 AM

I was bored yesterday so I took my z32 calipers apart, sandblasted them, painted them with high heat paint and then rebuilt them with new seals. These are gonna kick ass

Best of luck to you putting on those rears. I hear its a real pain in the ass.

Make sure your wheels clear. I have the 30mm brakes, and my wheels wouldn't fit on after. What a pain in the ass.

It's not so much the rear brakes that are difficult to get on, but the e-brake shiz.. it's a drum-style e-brake and I need the uprights, and the drum bits to make it work. I gotta track down those parts before I put on the rears. In the meantime I'll put the master cylinder and front brakes on.

I have a new set of 5zigen FN01r-c's that I'm sure will clear the brakes, but thanks for the heads-up!

haha mang, I do really like the brakes!!! I like looking at a big-ass set of brakes almost as much as I like looking at monster horsepower engines!

BTW Leo, how's your seal?? do you need my "tool" again?

i agree that when u just happen to catch a glimpse of a nice big brake setup behind a set of wheels, it just looks right. now on the opposite end of that spectrum, theres not much i hate more than seein a rice rocket rollin on 19s or some shit like that.....with rusty ol drums underneath........boy that makes me upset

Hehe, yeah, thats what I meant by the rears. Good luck with that. Which size MC did you go with? 1 1/16? I think thats what I'm gonna go with. I drove all summer with the stock MC and it was pretty mushy.

Yup, those fno1r-c's will clear. lol. funny, cause I"m gonna order those too.

Haven't even touched it yet!! haha, I haven't seen anything leaking for a while so I'm not sure what's up with it but I'll take a look when the turbo goes in. Also, I may be putting in a new clutch later so I may be in need of your assistance once again!! haha and besides, your jump suit is still in the garage!!!

Don't worry kev, there'll be plenty of beer!!!

Kevin are those from vince's car? you have to modify the e brake cable and will need new e-brake assembly. I use my old upright from my S14

Yep, these are Vinces old ones, I'm just trying to find someone to re-drill the rotors to 4x114 now so I can get them mounted up. I gotta drop in to see you this week anyway Win, so I'll bug you about this setup when I see you
