I've tried to call but no answer. Please let me know if these are brand new.

Thanks.
I've never done business with Z1 Motorsport, GA and I know they're a different entity to Z1 Auto, NY but it's funny to see they posted thumbs up post a day after your payment was sent but when question(s) to a problem arises they're MIA and not answering calls too

Get your money back and buy Brembo... and I ain't talking bout OEM

Just got off the phone with Z1. They said these are brand new. The ones with Nissan letters are fully powder coated front and back but the INFINITI ones only have the front painted.

Hey 350Speed,
Thanks for the call just a min ago to discuss this and for bringing it to our attention.

The calipers are new from Infiniti and they now only come coated on the front side. When they originally did the calipers they were powdercoated on both side but all of the ones now only have like a high temp primer on the back since it is not seen. Since it is a unfinished surface they let scratches and imperfections slide.

The rotor does have nicks on the side but will not hurt the performance since it isn't on the face. Sorry about that we try our best to keep those looking good but often times the rotors will meet up during shipping and cause these dents/dings. We always look them over to make sure they wont hinder performance before shipping though.

If you or anyone else in the future has questions we are open mon-sat 9-6 eastern time. The quickest way to get an answer is always to call us during these hours.
We are still running behind on e-mails and forum response after our annual Znationals.

Props to Chuck for the response. It seems like I will indeed still be buying a kit from Z1.

Actually both the Nissan and Infiniti calipers are only powdercoated on the front now.

I guess the bean counters finally got their way.

correct.. mine were only coated on front, albeit they were used from a totaled g37 with only 16k miles, but they are not finished on the backside!
