reasonable price for a block hone/rebore
Agreed. they have given a reasonable quote and have made the correct noises about having the pistons so they can bore to suit. Maybe they are a little over on the quote for piston fitting. Its not that difficult if you have a press and propane torch + a freezer and the know how.:alucard:

reasonable price for a block hone/rebore
Price will depend on how big an overbore you are going for. Will also depend on the quality/accuracy of finish you need. Will also be affected by the location of machine shop. And to some extent by the shops desire to do bore only jobs. The need for an invoice or otherwise and the method of payment also affects the cost. In effect its like asking how long a piece of string is???

Break / sell
Brake lines ??? Which ones?? All of them?? What do you mean by crossmember? the engine crossmember or is it the lower radiator support panel/crossmember?? The size and exact nature of the failures are neccessary to know before you can make any proper assessment of what to do.

double checking
IMO.....I think that in the first picture the two axle stands are too close together. They may be fine if you are just having a quick inspection but I personally would have them wider apart under the main chassis rails with a piece of wood to protect the chassis rail.

rear calipers and disk width
Glad that all worked out! Im pretty sure the Z32 rear caliper bolts straight on to the S13 without any mods. Unlike the S14 where they need the cables etc. Try asking the question over on SXOC.
