Sarnie Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 I am desperately looking for some front brake discs for a uk Zed. The best price I have had so far is £149 per disc plus VAT. Nissan want £173 each plus VAT. EBC won't have any in the country till the summer apparently and black diamond have no lead time on theirs!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

Guest prescience Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 That's a concern. We won't endorse short-term cack suppliers here. This needs confirming as a BIG problem which ostensibly it is. Quote

I am in deserate need of front discs but no where has any!!! EBC is out of stock throughtout the UK till JUly, Black Diamond is the end of the year ( maybe) the only ones I can find are from nissan direct at £173 per disc plus VAT which is extortionate!! Need help asap as my discs + pads are seriously grinding!!!! Quote
Guest prescience Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Mate I've been not much help and can I assume you have trawled this list http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=401 Which if you are in dire need is unlikely to help either because it is mostly US based; which will be cheaper but not immediate I assume the car is a daily driver and grinding Quote

Found the same discs on a US site but they reckoned that they would'nt fit a right hand drive Zed???? Why would that be?? They has the same item number???? Quote

Removed Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 imo it's rubbish. as long as the disks are for the proper brakes IE Brembos or non Brembos, they'll be the same Quote
Sarnie Posted April 7, 2006 Author Posted April 7, 2006 imo it's rubbish. as long as the disks are for the proper brakes IE Brembos or non Brembos, they'll be the same My thoughts exactly, as long as they are 4 pot it should'nt make a difference surely!! I was gonna order them anyway but i don't really want to spend $280 and 3 weeks to find out they don't fit!!! Quote

Grant Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 I got my DAB 4000's from http://www.wallaceperformance.com they are the Uk distributor. You could try oilman for Brembo http://www.opieoils.co.uk/performance%5Fbrake%5Fkits/ and http://www.rjnmotorsport.com/RJNmain1.htm for as new slotted OEM discs at a very good price. Quote
Sarnie Posted April 8, 2006 Author Posted April 8, 2006 Do users get any discounts via opie???? Quote

moonscale Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Fianlly Brakes4u have now got the discs in stock in both plain and grooved and drilled for those of you who have been asking???? It only took them 8 weeks but they are here Quote

I waited 5 weeks for Brakes4u to get some and they did'nt get any! Opie said 3 weeks for some Brembo discs eventually they arrived yesterday closer to 8 weeks!!! Well happy now though, Brembo brakes+ Brembo drilled disks + EBC red stuff pads = happy days!!!! Quote
