I've got 90% of the rear disc conversion done and I need a few things. 1- I need the banjo bolts for the brake line that go into the caliper. 2- I also need the ebrake cables and hardware. I also have a question to those who have done this before. Did the car seem to raise up in the rear after being done? I also put some KYB GR2's in at the same time and think it could possibly be from them. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I was thinking about the same conversion, I think the banjo's are only avaiblabe thrue dealer or junk yard. also I think auto zone sells the ebrake cables but dont know exactly how much. Was there any problem with the caliper and the caliper Braket fiting properly? did you have to machine some parts your self? There is a 91 SE by the junk yard I saw last tue when I picked up my taurus cup holders, if I stop by there again in a day or so Ill let you know if I find the Ebrake and Banjo Screws.

 

I believe that MizereeX has the whole conversion setup available.

Not sure if he'd separate just the parts you need, but can't hurt to ask.

I sold that stuff awhile back.....but thanks for the plug

 

I just took the rear strut assemblies off the GXE (w/ drums) and put on the SE strut assemblies (w/ discs) I didn't take the caliper mounting brackets off either. Did I miss something? Everything went back together just fine. Seems to sit up a lil higher in ther rear now though *shrugs*

 

yeah i bet the old GXE struts were old, and you put in new ones... therefore they wont sag

well the GXEs had about 140k miles on them and the SE's have about 95k miles on them so i dunno

 

Christams left my wallet running on E so I have to wait until Jan to do my converison, also becuase im replacing all 4 shock/struts and spings while i'm at it.

 

i could get you all the banjo bolts...brake cables and all that stuff probably...i have 8 extra calipers...6 of which are not in working condition...and a parts car...let me know if your interested

will

 

Just need the banjo bolts... 2 total...bought new brake lines. how much for the 2 banjo bolts? Also, how about the ebrake cables w/ hardware?

 

your best bet is going to a junkyard and get entire and complete pair of sexy legs. it's a lot cheaper, effortless, and cost effective.

 

how about $5 shipped for the banjo bolts (including the copper washers)....i dont know about the ebrake cables and hardware yet...i have to attempt to get them off of my parts car...and i wont be able to do that until thursday

will

ps i have the banjo bolts in my car..so they can be shipped out whenever

 

sold, when can ya get them here? I added you to my AIM list. Hopefully we can talk on there and get things situated. Add me... cleming15

 

Ummm, those bolts NEW are only $2.60 each from the dealer..

Besides that, you get new ones in any stainless steel brake line kit..

 

well hell, where have you been all this time matt? I could have used that info about a week ago Thanks for the info. I'll have to check that out

 

well i just got off the phone w/ a local nissan dealer and they told me $4.50 a piece

 

$2.60 is discount price.. get it from nissanparts.cc, Dave B, Jerry Rome, etc etc.

List price is $3.47 each. discount price is 25% below that.

The $4.60 they're charging you is full list PLUS 25%.
lots of the so-called "wholesale dealers" will charge that much.. they take regular list price and call it "wholesale", then mark it up another 25% and call it retail price.

basically, go somewhere else. you're close enough to indianapolis that you should be able to find zillions of dealers...

 

want me to get from my guy?
though the shipping is the real killer on them, unless you get them sent in an envelope
