where can i purchase red nissan calipers!
 

thanks everyone

Not sure off hand but you could have them powder coated

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 :)

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.... :tup:

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

How much are the OEM 40th anniversary red Akebono calipers?

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

Got a part number or a price quote?

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. :tup:

Good luck OP

PM'd you the price on these 40th anniversary Nismo Z34 metallic red calipers.

Thanks Scott!

Of course, Mike. No problem, If and when I can make a recommendation to someone and point them in the right direction to a person or place that is better suited (than we are) for what they need or want... I have no problem at all doing so. (Just like in this situation here). :tiphat:

LOL. In fact... I probably lose money and sells all the time by doing things like this, but I feel it is the right thing to do, and I would appreciate it if I was in the same situation looking for help with something.

We just sold another full set of the matallic red Nismo 40th anniversary Akebono calipers this week (this time to an M35 owner)

Where and can I purchase these for my 09 Touring Z?

You can get them from the dealer or find them here or on craigslist used. I'm buying mine from Ray at West Covina Nissan

Z1

I got the kit from Z1 and love it!

Do you have a link to them? I can't find them on Z1's site. Also where can I find those brake pad covers? They look great! :tup:
