sweet find at pick n pull

I went to a couple pick n pulls today looking for some random crap and came across a z32 that still had the brakes on it.



fornt and rear aluminum calipers and a 1.1/16 brake master cylinder, all for $120!! The master cylinder was a nice sweet bonus being a 1.1/16th.

Unfortunatly I didnt have a socket big enough to get the rear axle nut off so I couldnt get the rear hubs and drum brakes, maybe Ill go back this weekend.

z32 rear calipers dont have the built in lever for an ebrake line. Z32's have a caliper for the standard hydrolic brake system, then it has a seperate drum just for the ebrake. in order to do the conversion, i need to get the z32 rear hubs with the brake drum.

hehe, ya pick n pull is super cheap, but its hard to find anything really good. most of what they got is old or already amost totally stripped. That was the second one I went to, the first one didnt have crap. The second one wasnt great, but it was better than the first. That Z was jut a gold mine there, I was really suprised it was sitting there with so much still on it.

Nice find! I ran across the same thing in a small town. Picked up the Z32 fronts for $42.50 out the door.

I'm going to the pick n pull in KC tomorrow. There is a blue 97 SE with tan leather interior and a gray 95 GLE. The 97 is 5 spd and the 95 auto. Both were hit bad up front. I went last week and got the homelink visor for $4 bucks. I'm gonna get the trunk, brakes and rotors, the chrome door handles and maybe some spare engine parts, like a starter and alternator.

Well I just went back again today and got the ebrake assemblies and the 5 lug hubs/bearings all for $46. It would have been $20 cheaper but I couldnt get the knuckle off one of the sides, oh well, I dont need thoes hubs and they can be sold for uber cash.
