Had my sport calipers powder coated by Mike

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?

Jquad · 10-09-2010, 03:33 AM

Very nice bro

AK370Z · 10-09-2010, 03:42 AM

thanks all, yes I can do that, most people want akebono though, but I can also do Nissan

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

Fire · 10-09-2010, 03:15 PM

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, 04:24 PM

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

daisuke149 · 10-09-2010, 04:31 PM

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

NewYorkJon34 · 10-11-2010, 09:31 PM

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

Jeffblue · 10-11-2010, 09:36 PM

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.

Oh man that looks great.

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