        the ones on eGay are usually aluminum and the ones from parts stores are usually iron

        that's the difference

          The following is a comparison of some different Z32 300ZX brake calipers.

          The "26mm Aluminum" calipers were used ONLY on 1990 non-turbos. They used a 280mm x 26mm rotor.

          The "30mm Aluminum" calipers were used on 1990 Twin-turbos and ALL 1991-1992.5 300ZX's (both turbo and non-turbo alike). They used a 280mm x 30mm rotor.

          The "30mm Iron" calipers were used on ALL 1992.5-1996 300ZX's (both turbo and non-turbo alike). They also used the 280mm x 30mm rotor.
          Even if you specifically request for 1990 TT calipers, I doubt Autozone will give you aluminum units...... :?

            Bullshit. The ones from the parts store should be appropriate to year and whatever else determines them that you ask for. If you ask for a 90 NA you get whats appropriate to that. If you ask for a 96TT, you get what's appropriate to that.

              Exactly. I bet the parts guys don't know that they were made in both aluminum and iron.

                  The only reason I bought mine on ebay was because I got the pair for about $200 shipped; cheaper than the parts stores even with my discount.

                  Also, they were special order at NAPA and I would have had to pay freight anyway. :cry:

                    yeah, old news... a friend buys z32 calipers like that from the auto parts stores, paints them, and sells them on ebay for 300-350ish, and he uses 10$ generic junkyard calipers as cores for the auto parts stores!! lol

                      I paid AU$400 for R32GTR front calipers and the rotors to go with them.
