Not sure off hand but you could have them powder coated

Togo · 07-07-2010, 05:57 PM

Mike, yes that's his forum name, powder coats and from what has been said, he does a good job. PM him and see what he says.

IF you are upgrading from stock brakes to the sport package ones then you can buy the nissan 40th edition sport Akebonos (which come red) or if you already have sport then you can go to Scott and Relentless Autosports

Ill personally vouch for him since im buying suspension, rotors, and a roll cage from him

Scott @ RA · 07-08-2010, 05:53 AM

We have already sold a couple sets of the Nismo 40th Anniversary edition metallic red Akebono calipers. In fact, we might have even been the first in the country to do this since we were able to order them from Nissan Motorsports North America even before there was a part number for them, LOL.

We also powdercoat brake calipers all the time (along with wheels, suspension, among many other parts).
So we could get anything powdercoated any color or texture your imagination can come up with... we usually will beat any prices as well....

If you have the older ones why cant you have them painted.. hope that works,..

so, I typed out a long post and the power surged right before I hit enter :<

Anyway,
I am a custom powdercoater specializing in brake calipers. I've done over 1250 sets in the last 5 years. I do all of the disassembly and reassembly of them, so you don't have to do anything but transfer your hardware over and install. I currently have one set of Akebono calipers available for exchange.

My pricing is 300 for premium members, and 350 for everyone else, plus 30 shipping and a 600 refundable core charge if you want to do the exchange.

I haven't yet recreated the AE version, but that would be no problem at all. Most people want 'Akebono' instead of 'Nissan' on them, but I can do whatever you want. Even getting ready to do a custom set for Z1 with their logo on them.

Here are some that I have done though:

Mike those look great. Keep me posted on the availabilty. I currently want the red capipers with the black Akebono logo. I have a flawless set of calipers ready for exchange from my 90 Nismo with only 3,000 miles on it. Just shoot me a PM.

If anyone else besides Mike can help me out just let me know!

Tyler, got your PM, thanks. It looks as if Mike the powdercoater has a set ready for exchange that he can powdercoat red for you like you want, and then ship him out your calipers (cores). This is probably your best option. Good luck

About the same price or just a touch more $ than the regular gray ones.

'10Anamoly · 07-08-2010, 01:25 PM

Got a part number or a price quote?

AK370Z · 07-08-2010, 01:26 PM

I saw in some Japanese blogs that some Fairlady Z34 owners are buying the red calipers for their car from Nissan. However, I think powdercoating is the most cost effective way to get red calipers.

Good luck OP
