What does the air gap refer to? How are they different from the other aluminum Z32 calipers (besides them being 26mm vs 30mm)
There is a 90NA at the junkyard and they only want $10 a piece for them, im assuming they are a direct fit if im using 87 Turbo hubs, wheel bearings and rotors?
Thanks in advance.

If Slip on rotors refer to the 87-89 Rotors then yes I have them.

Damn Im assuming you were at Pearl Rd?
I was just there last Friday and there were no Z32s so that must have been fresh.
I feel kinda silly now I actually just bought a rebuilt & powdercoated set on Ebay for $240 shipped :?
Im with Zmech on this one rebuild them, its pretty easy. And I have an extra set of SS Z32 front brake lines if you want them.

Ok, with this link in mind http://www.princeton.edu/~asad/zbrakes/ which are the calipers that will bolt up to the stock 87-89 rotors? is it those 26mm ones? or the 30mm's Or will they all work and the 30's will just have to compress a little more?
Cause I just got these ones and dont know how wide they are yet.

Ok I got the calipers and had them rebuilt, and I got a pair of SS Z32 Brake lines but I have a little problem..tthe end of the brake line is a female fitting and where the line should be bolted in the caliper is also female? So unless I have the wrong brake lines I assume I need a fitting to attach the line to the caliper? but when I took the calipers off the car I dont remember removing anything from the caliper besides the brake line itself and the two mounting bolts so I am confused. Can anyone tell me what the part # is on here? http://www.courtesyparts.com/betasite/i … 83_982_987

Man, I was about to PM you and ask you some stuff but it looks like you answered EVERY question I had in one single post BEFORE I even had the calipers! :shock: [archived image: biggrin.png] Except one. How did you pop out the little flare piece with out damaging it to reuse it in the TT master cyl.? I havnt tried yet but got it all apart and dont want to damage it trying to get it out.
THIS IS WHY YOU SEARCH PEOPLE!
