Now according to my calculations with the prices on the 300zx brake calipers, pads, Brembo rotors and brake lines...the total cost for the 300zx brake swap is roughly between $475-525. Is that a good calculation?

You might get them for that price if you get all used parts.

For all new parts, it is $895

for a complete swap (front and back) its $789. for just the front its $595 for all new parts.

or you can do it yourself and get it for ~400.
most people don't do all four wheels, more than they need, and need a new master cylinder.

well yeah, I plan to do it myself...and I was planning on used parts...but is that a bad idea? And do most people just do the front...or is it a good idea to do the back too?

Most people just fo the front, but if i were ganna do it i would save up for all 4. If you do get used parts, i would suggest getting the caliper rebuilt.

ProricanRacer

well anyone know any sites where I can get them brand new?

-HyJynX-

I havent heard of "brand new" ones...just rebuilt ones so they are pretty much new.

yea get rebuilt capliers and gets some lines from www.splparts.com, OEM rotors and get a Z32 master brake cylinder

this site should help you out with the Z32 brake swap www.importnut.net it has a whole writeup

drnovascotia

you could go to a junkyard and luck and get some for dirt cheap. . .
But in reality full swap you're looking 400-600.

Where can I get the z32 parts? Is there a website or can I go to a Nissan dealer and get the parts?

try ebay...also if you are looking for wieght savings go for the aluminum ones...two of those wiegh less than one iron caliper. btw to tell the difference...on the top of the caliper (by the pistions) there a cooling fins.
