sam350z2013 Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Hi, Just wondering do these brembos look damaged / missing something? as planning to get these for my import with non brembos and wanted to know if I need buy anything in particular to fit them. Thank you for any advice. Quote
Ekona Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Well, you'll want the front calipers too for a start Quote
Almeida1234 Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Can't really tell by those pics, but if I was you I will strip them down and rebuilt them while they are off. Give them a lick of paint too. Quote
Ekona Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 The fronts are in picture 3 Odd, I only saw two pics when I posted. Quote
fairladyz2013 Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Looks like the brake pipes are broken? But someone might be able to correct me... 2 Quote
Jp606 Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Can't really tell from pictures. I'd be inclined to rebuild them. Install some braided hoses whilst you are there. Quote
GMballistic Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Looks like the brake pipes are broken? But someone might be able to correct me... Nah should just glue back together ok. Seriously though as Almeida said I'd get a service kit for them whilst they're off and have them rebuilt for peace of mind & resprayed for aesthetics. 1 Quote
88sam88 Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Looks like the brake pipes are broken? But someone might be able to correct me... I thought this initially, looking at the pics as the pipes look like they've been cut/snapped off? 😄 Quote

They just cut straight through the brake pipes rather than faff around trying to undo them. Quote
jumping350 Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Yeah they are a nightmare, could get some braided ones now though. When I got my fog light I talked him through it on the phone so I got both connectors I needed he was ready to hack right through the loom before I called Quote

BulletMagnet Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 You could PM ZMANALEX and see if he has any reconditioned Brembos in stock, for peace of mind. Unless theses are super dirt cheap that is Quote
samsniss350z Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 I'd go along with Bullet Magnet as Alex had quite a few sets of reconned Brembo's in a variety of colours and they came with a guarantee. If you're not confident in refurbishing them I'd send them away. Quote
HaydnH Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Abbey probably still have my old set with about 20k miles on them, if they still have them you're welcome to have them as long as you make a sensible offer. Quote
sam350z2013 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 thanks for all the replies..managed to get them for a cheap price. Anyone here done the brembo conversion before, was it difficult ? Thanks Quote
ZMANALEX Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 If swapping from JDM to Brembo you will require lines, pads, rotors and a hardware fitting kit. Alex. 2 Quote
