Default OEM BREMBOs F/S

I have posted this in the classifieds section as well however I would like to sell these locally. The price is $1500.00 and the car is at Frederick Nissan who I am sure would have no problem doing a swap for you.

Heads up for you, stock Brembo set-ups can be had for $800-1000 from forum members and salvage yards, thats all 4 calipers with mounting brackets. Good luck with the sale.

Forum Etiquette. POOF You guys both know you runined his thread - RIGHT If you have a problem with his price, and want to inform him of this, even though it's none of your business, PM the writer, don't post to his thread. He's trying to sell something for gosh sakes, and the last thing he needs is hecklers. Personally $1,500. sounds fair to me. But, what do I know

Buyer protection sounds like a good thing to me. They aren't only letting the OP know, they are letting everyone know as well. and yes, what do YOU know?

Buyer Protection, BS!!!! Someone who buys on this forum is going to have the tools to make an informed decision. As far as what I KNOW. I KNOW enough not to make an idiot of myself, and I KNOW how to use the search function

I was quoted at a salvage yard in tx 600 for the front and rear calipers but they had already been sold. A member in our local Z Club got front and rear calipers for 800. They can be had cheaper, people on here try to get top dollar for them

I looked around and saw people buying/selling the OEM Brembos for $1300-$1500 and priced by that. If you want to buy from a junkyard then that is your choice. What I am saying is that Frederick Nissan will pull off my brakes and make sure that everything is there for you/in good condition. If you want to schedule something with them then I am sure that they (Frederick Nissan) would also have no problem installing the brakes for you.
Junkyard= who knows what you will be missing/condition
-Thanks Lowrider

OP-I apologize if you took this the wrong way,I didnt want to ruin your thread, just wanted to inform you and others of what $hit sells for. This is like the thread wherethe guy wanted $2500 for his track wheels, they go for $1000 tops, so many people let him know and he hopefully made a sale. I dont win or lose anything by posting info. If you'd like me to delete my posts I certainly will.

Nah man it's cool. I'm not trying to get over on anyone though that's for sure. I let my track wheels/tires go for like $600 and delivered them to PA. I just looked around and thought it was a fair price. That said...if anyone has any good offers than by all means make them. I am trying to do this b/c I am trying to buy Ryan's BBK. If not I will take a little loss and just give him the Brembos+cash. BTW Berto it sucks about your car, I was looking forward to meeting up with you all again (last time was AAM barb-q) when my car is actually finished(well driveable). When the weather goes to sh*t I think I am going to put the car back in the shop and drop a different motor in there using a new kit from JE Import Performance.

Let me also clarify if you are including rotors, lines and pads its a fair (on par with market) deal, I originally thought you were only selling calipers, mounting brackets because you didnt mention rotors, pads, lines. Ok moving on....

I havent seen you much on the forums in a while man, last I read you weretaking your car to a body shop, and ordering some crazy wide wheels, how did it all turn out? Regarding my car, no worries, I'll have another tranny in it this weekend if all goes well-at worst I'll have the spare by Wednesday What are you doing to your motor? Hopefully come next spring you can have it back, and we can have a HUGE Mid-A meet....

edit-did you ever post pics of it? Id like to see it.

Nope it's getting painted and the order for the wheels are going in this week which is why I am trying to get the BBK so it is a sure fit (wheels over BBK). I just got royally f***ed by Vertex and the "Targa Top" people who didn't come through with what they said that they would. When Frederick opened the moldings on my doors a little water ran out (car hadn't been in the rain in quite some time) and where they cut my rear fenders they did a half @ss hack job. Frederick Nissan and especially Arthur Williams are fixing it though so no worries. Just can't decide on a wing. Motor wise JE Performance Imports has come up with a kit to allow an rb26dett into a 350Z/G35. I think that if I put that in my car it will really set my car apart so that is probably what I will do. Yea sucks they cancelled the Mid-A megameet. We'll figure something out though...some bikers I know go out to that same parking lot though and stunt so I'll see if I can't get in touch with the cops they know so we can have nice sized Z meet.

Yea only issue I'm having with in reading about the kit is that they use an all wheel drive tranny and rework/weld the tranny for a two wheel drive. I need to check and see if I can just use an rb25 in there. I've wanted to do this for a while but with this kit I think the cost will go from $20000 to $10000 to $12000. Yea certain places certainly like to find a way to blindside you with b/s and I think you know what I'm talking about more than some other members. With the power that can be made there and the 355s out back I will be in your shoes worrying about axles.

If you plan on dragging you might yeah, if not I you will be fine. I hope you actually run a snail to create a good powerband, and not the typical huge snail, no N20, spools at 5000 shift at 7000 powerband Who would you trust with a project like this?

yea there was some guy posting earlier about how come there are no 900 hp 350zs in magazines? people who are just after numbers are dyno queens and that's not what I'm after. I just want to go to about 600-650 usable with N2O but spraying at the IC. I am going to trust Frederick Nissan to put it in. After being up there and really looking around there shop/seeing what they are capable of doing, I really have good faith in them. I don't think they are out to scam anyone or pull anything over on anyone and do some of the best work that I have personally seen. Arthur Williams who is the head of the performance shop is a stand up guy as well. Trust me if you dropped as much $ as I did and got the half @ss job that I did on the kit/suspension set up, you would be real harsh on how you judge a shop. This swap requires a complete stand-alone and they recommend A'PEXi Power FC, so for tuning I am not sure since Frederick Nissan doesn't have a dyno. I have a contract with a certain company but I doubt that they will be the ones to touch this for a couple of different reasons.-What I was talking about earlier btw in that you know as well as I do about being hit with bs...btw that's just from what I've heard/read and I don't know your situation with them for sure.

He doesnt tune PFC, in all honesty that EM is not that great, resolution isnt all that but it wil get the job done-much like an emanage. Im at 525whp low boost, 580whp high boost (pump gas no race gas map yet) on a Dynojet. I did 491/541 on Sharif's dyno. Tons left in the kit and block, I need more fuel system to safely do it, but in all honesty low boost is enough to bend anything I ever encounter over, my car is about 100lbs lighter than most TT Z's
