Might have to do this while I'm bored over the winter.
Can you do the stock Nissan emblem so the calipers look like the 40th?

Looks great, one day I am going to have to drive over to see you and have mine done :tup:

Mike can you pm with the price to powder coat with the factory red color, I could send you mine this winter. With either sticker.

hey mike, how much for a set of Pearl White painted calipers with a black akebono sticker on it?

Mike 10-09-2010 03:24 PM

Price is 350 for base members, 300 for premium members and 30 flat rate shipping.

Ima get mine done in pearl white someday too!! Im craaaawzeee like that

NewYorkJon34 10-11-2010 08:31 PM

Do y'all think pearl white calipers with a black "akebono" or red calipers would look better on a pearl white Z?

OP, how much time did you spend taking off/putting on the calipers, or did you have a shop do it?

I removed and reinstalled them myself.
Removal was easy enough. Took about 1 1/2 hours max.
The reinstallation was just as easy. Getting the lines free of air bubbles took a bit. I tried using one of those "one man brake bleeder" kits from autozone. For some reason it still left some air.
I had a friend come over and we bled them the old fashioned way and that did the trick.

Total time for reinstallation was about 4 hours.

so you did that twice? or you didn't bother doing the exchange thing.
