i hope it doesnt look like that.............

while I haven't seen base Canadian calipers, I'm 99.9% sure Nissan didn't design a different base set just for you guys. You get the same ones.

OP, the one you post looks very old and rusty.... :confused:

Here's mine... Canadian Z with base brake:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT

WHAT A WASTE OF $$$$$$ im no longer looking forward to the arrival of my ride..

i thought it came with these rims and calipers.....
they said nothing about design change if you upgraded to sport or navi, they just stated larger wheels and calipers, and rotors..
nothing about damn design...
so im going to be stuck with your wheels? no offence, i just prefer these ones

What exactly did u order? Base, Base+Sport, Base+Touring, Sport+Turing??

Sorry to say, OP, but you should have done your research.

The upgraded brakes, wheels, differential and syncro rev-match along with the rear deck spoiler and aero add ons are part of the sport package.

For what it's worth, the sport wheels come up in the marketplace quite often and they don't cost much, especially considering they are fully forged 19s.

Yeah, you may want to cancel that order before it's too late.

Well, he asks about 'caliper', not wheel. And the caliper in my pic is the base one. The pic posted by OP is the sports brake with sport 19in.

It's more simple in Canada, there are only 3 choices: 1) Base (which comes with Bose system) 2) Sports 3) Sports+Nav

:wtf2: :facepalm:

Correction: we have Touring, Touring + Sports, Touring + Sports + Nav

OP, you sure you don't have the base + sport package? If so, you have the wheels and brakes you wanted.

As far as I know, in the US it's Base vs. Touring, and either can have the sport pack.

this is bs, spent so much on the car and it comes with shitty calipers ffs.. same calipers as the nissan leaf, gota b kidding me.. great... just great.. and im not going to cancel, because ive waited long enough, and im sure its too late to do so. btw i have the base. and in canada, we only have base, sport, navi. you can call base touring i guess..same thing.. but the sport package cost 4K extra. i was hoping for the sport rims, but i guess ill buy a set of chrome and a set of black rims too..

anyone know where i can get the calipers that look like sport calipers, similar looks, and i dont want to spend a fortune. this way i save alot, rather then spending 4K on a sport package

lol, i was too upset by the calipers first to notice the vossen

do you have pics of your stock rims? or can you atleast tell me if it looks like the 2 pics i posted? i guess from the angle, you have the small calipers?

I believe you can upgrade to sport brakes with the correct calipers, rotors, lines, and brackets... not sure if the booster/cylinder is different though. IMO more worthwhile to get it from the factor though as it would come with the other sport options and would be warrantied.

Not very clear but here it is:

so i cant just get bigger calipers? like the pics i posted on the first msg? everything has to be replaced? cant just slap them on? or do you know any big calipers the size of akebono or brembo a set for around 1K to 1.5K? i just wanted bigger calipers, and spending the extra 4K for the sport package would have been useless for me, because i plan on buying new rims

didnt know bigger calipers would be this much trouble.. gota a headache now...

Here's another one.

Big Brake Kit gonna cost you around $2k - $3k, I rather you take the sports package for $4k and sell the OEM 19' when they are brand new and add some money to buy another set of rims.

here you are, starting at 1395
Z1 Akebono Sport Brake Upgrade Package

Plus the S-mode, VLSD and rear spoiler...

You can't just buy "bigger calipers"... bigger calipers require bigger rotors, bigger pads, bigger brackets, and shorter lines. The parts sold seperately would cost significantly more than the package itself.

AAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW CRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP,

any way of getting out of my contract? they said the car was ordered and should be in next week, april 13

but M just said and showed a link for the kit being 1395 though? cant i just buy that? if its actually that price, ill even give them an extra $100, maybe not, but that price for the whole kit is AMAZING?

is that kit all i need? oh man.. sounds too good to be true, the whole kit for $1395

Talk to the sales rep and explain the situation. If he did not inform you about the specs on the car you were getting or gave you wrong information then I would expect him to make it right.. If you just went in there and ordered the car without asking questions though.. that's another story

do they ship to canada? im in a hurry so i couldnt check, sorry for asking a such a stupid question i can easily get an answer, but im super excited.

for brake pad options, i have no idea what those are

and

do i really need to spend an extra $90 for Z1 stainless steel brake lines?

i dont want to spend too much, but will as long as its no where near 3K. because if im going to spend over a 1K on important things like brakes on a brand new car, than i wont be stingy over an extra grand or so

THANKS ALOT FOR THE FIND Mke

yes they will ship to Canada.. From what I can tell you only care about the brakes looking pretty behind a wheel.. if so, don't get the SS lines.

Yeah but the point I was trying to make is that the Sport package actually works out cheaper because the wheels consistently sell for around $1000, it would cost somewhere around $300-400 to add the spoiler (replica), probably $500-1000 for a used VLSD, easily 1k+ for the brakes (complete) and the synco-rev is priceless because I don't think you can add it after... your not even adding in the other little things like the chin spoiler/diffuser. You are spending approx 1/2 the price of the package on the one component and that is just for looks according to you.

You are about to spend $1400 on the BEST low end BBK and its really that much of a hassle to make them more dependable and stop shorter for $90 extra? So for you a BBK is purely cosmetic??? Why not save some cash and get riced out caliper covers? Brembo makes a quality set that will fool most.

You are welcome

your absolutely right, i waited almost 2 years, excitement got the best of me and i wasnt thinking. and now im fkd, i paid a deposit and the car should be in a week or more, so im screwed right? or is there a way out of my contract? i dont see a way out. going to call tomorrow to ask

true. was thinking that too, go big or dont go, thats my way of saying it. and no fake covers, wouldnt feel good for me

A lot of Z in Canada are with Sports Pack, I bet the dealer can change the order for you, it'll increase the price, why wouldn't they do that..

he said they cant.. doesnt make sense why not..

If you bought the sport upgrade package from Z1 I am sure you could sell the base calipers, rotors and pads to help offset the cost.

If it's not a sport package Z then you don't have the upgraded brake hardware. In all honesty, even the upgraded package isn't that awesome -- the car is far from "over braked".

I'd just shop around for aftermarket parts that satisfy your wishes -- if it's too much money to do that, then don't worry about it. Just get better pads, SS lines and call it a day. Will still be a HUGE improvement over stock on the cheap.

Now if you are tracking the car, that's another story, but again even then you'd need better brakes if you had opted for the sport pack anyway.

:iagree:

The 'Sports Brake' comes with the sports package cannot withstand tracking, you need to upgrade the whole system anyway. If you didn't take the sports package, use that $4000 on new brakes and someother mods. I'll say the money is more well spent.

ya, i think im going to order the Z1 brake kit thats 1395$ from the link on the other page, or something with a similar price. and hopefully get wheels from rays te37s, i think it was called, or anything that looks like it, planning on getting all my cosmetic items, and installing it altogether rather then 1 at a time, and then focus on performance after.

i wonder how much the base calipers, rotors, pads cost, and how much it would be bought for

ya ill shop around, and not rush it. before summer for sure though
