Kinda knew this was the case. Already shopping for new rims and tires.
Still waiting for the calipers. Parts were shipped on the 24th, ETA is the 3rd. The hell are they using to transport the parts, a donkey?

I asked and it seems like they don't accept the non sports calipers. I guess I'm keeping them.

So that price on the ebay listing included the core charge? That's crazy low!

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't already book marked...

Funny fitment notes about the post-08 models. Front rotors only? Can you just pop a set of front rotors on the rears?

No, you cannot. Determine the diameter of their rear rotor and check the brake sticky to make sure it's for the sport.

Front and rear calipers with front and rear ceramic brake pads. Can't wait to install these!

Impressively good condition, considering the price. Thanks for posting the photos.

Sweet deal! agree w/ codeflux, seem to be in nice shape, should be easy to clean them up for paint.

The big brake swap is my next project. Where did you get your parts? I see Z1 sells a complete kit. With stainless lines and dust shields, that bad boy is 2K. How much was your swap, parts and labor?

Best prices come from part outs as in my case. Keep an eye on your local g z or gtr pages and many times they come up for sale.

Yeah I might have to give this a go... I planned on doing yellow calipers anyways so this is perfect if it's legit.

How did it work out for you OP??

It worked perfectly. It's all legit. Just make sure to get all the parts you need. Specially the banjo bolt for the sports model. You also need something to cut the rotor dust cover. I used a heavy duty sheet metal cutter in the front and just hammered the rears so it's not touching the rotors.

​​​​​​I painted mine burnt copper.
