I need a set of brake disks for my 1990 N/A Jspec. Nissan have quotted me £80 each plus VAT.

 

I have tried the disks that brembo have listed for all Z32s but their slightly different disk, although only £40 each.

 

After doing a little research, I have found that there is a different disk on this particular year of N/A. does anybody know where I can get a pair cheapish.

try them, the NA discs are not as thick as the tt discs.

 

These people do Brembo castings.

Cheers.

Ive checked out 3gbrakes. the dont have anything for this model. has anyone else had this problem? and if so where/how did you resolve it. courtesyparts recognise the difference and charge $68 each.

 

has anybody ordered from courtesy?

how log does shipping take?

how much does shipping cost?

how much import tax will i need to pay on $136

 

 

cheers

Lots of people order from Courtesy (myself included)

 

Delivery has taken between a fortnight and 4 days usually, unless parts had to be ordered in, and shipping depends on weight, but I've paid between $40 and $100 depending on the size of the box (one was very large indeed)..

 

Tax is a funny thing, but it's VAT + 4% duty I *think*.. Plus an administration charge by the courier for clearing it through customs..

 

Best thing I find is to email Courtesy sales and deal with them that way - they're very helpful and very efficient..

 

Oh and get yourself a membership on TTnet, quote your member number, and you get 25% discount..

You might also like to try Mike Feeny at http://www.mjpauto.com UK based and can get Nissan parts from all over the shop.

...I replaced the front disks on my na about 2 years ago. Had the usual stuff, first set sent through were tt disks, 5 mm thicker and with a different offset, 2nd set were for the pre 89 300zx, and luckily, the third set fitted with the aid of a 3mm spacer between the disk and the hub. All this time later they are still in good condition. I got them from JRT automotive, mail order, tel 01494 792211 at about £48 each. I think Terry at JRt had EBC machine the nearest they could find off the shelf. They were Japanese made and came in EBC boxes. If you want I've got a sketch showing the exact dimensions of an na front disk. Give me your fax number and I'll send it across. Only problem is the 3mm spacer lifts the disc off the self-centering flange on the hubs so you need to be carefull when you tighten up the wheel nuts to ensure the disk is dead centre - otherwise you get a slight vibration in the steering wheel.

But having said all of this I'd be talking to Mike Freeney if I was you - I believe he runs na 300 - 01277 374201. I've ordered stuff from him and he's always prompt.

 

good luck

...sorry forgot to mention also. that I've found that as the pads are getting close to needing replacing, the wheels judder when braking. Bang in a new set of pads and the judder dissapears. Don't know why, but there it is. So, buy new pads first, because your disks might be ok.

Thanks. Ive ordererd a set of disks from mike at mjpautos.com.

He seems to know his stuff when it comes to the different disks for all the models including japanese. and says that they will defo fit. more expensive than i wanted, but quite a bit cheaper than nissan uk. for the genuine things.

 

cheers and thanks for your help
