Ummm the Z32 ones can be obtained any where from R1500 to R3500 depending on what exactly you buy...

My full set costed R2200 that is for fronts and rear calipers with the rotors pads and brake line brackets, but I told the seller to leave the pads and rotors to save on weight.

But then it is secondhand. I also bought a Nissan caliper rebuild kit for R600 just to be safe.

It's pretty expensive importing from US/UK best bet is AUZ/NZ/JPN

That's the reason why mine is still lying there... they don't fit under the mags.

I got one spare 26mm and 30mm aluminum 4 pots that i'm willing to let go for cheap cheap...

VC When I fitted mine, I used the old brake lines... I just modded the banjo removed about 3/4 mm from the front of bolt and that fitted fine.
bango modding - i like it. thats awesome!!!

and gary - i did exactly like vlade. mine were also 2200 for everything, but the rotors were left for weight savings, i asked for the pads to be left, but i got them anyway.

wilwoods will still require mounting hardware, brackets, etc... but are a viable option - way better than unknown brands! and things like pads and rebuild kits are readily available.

gary if i was you and i didnt want to hassle with importing, and worrying about the thickness of your disc, i would be very interested in those 26mm ones from vlade!!!
