***SOLD*** FS: BlehmCo 300zx BBK Setup
Well folks, it looks like my BBK project did not go according to plan. I bought this setup from irish44j and haven't even taken it out of the box. The box is open though, so if someone asks I will take pics to prove that I have the parts.
I snatched this setup for $400 shipped a few months ago, so that's what the selling price will be - $400 firm with shipping included.
Here is the description from Irish44j's for sale thread (reproduced with his permission). I'll let him do the talking since he knows way more about them than I do.

Here is the description from Irish44j's for sale thread (reproduced with his permission). I'll let him do the talking since he knows way more about them than I do.
Included: two ALUMINUM z32 calipers. Less than 10k since rebuild with new seals, boots, slide pins, and a couple new pistons. Cosmetically the "NISSAN" lettering is a little dinged up and smushed and they probably could use a repaint. One has NISSAN lettering in red, the other in white (long story, don't ask). I was planning to file off the Nissan lettering altogether to give them a "cleaner" look...
Matt Blehm relocation brackets. I know for sure they will work on the 5th gen and I think for 4th/3rd gen you just need to drill out some holes a bit larger. Should also fit the 6th gen.
Stainless steel tecnafit brake lines. In good condition with no leaks or kinks. One of them has a small split in the plastic collar on one end, but that doesn't affect safety or performance. Anyhow, I have a brand new identical line you can replace it with, which will be included (recently bought from Matt).
Rotors: <edit - no rotors. Irish was selling the rotors for $25 extra but would not ship them. So, I didn't get them in the deal>
Pads: They have Monroe Performance Ceramic pads probably 75% life left. They work fine, but I preferred the Hawk HPS I had previously and would suggest you get some Hawks.
What I do NOT have: The nuts/bolts to mount it all up with. They were pretty rusty, a few stripped, and I lost a few in my messy garage. You should be able to get new hardware for a few bucks at any auto store (Matt Blehm can probably tell you the correct sizes) or maybe Matt will sell you a bag of hardware if you ask him.
<edit - I believe Irish ended up finding most of the nuts and bolts. If anything, they can be used for size reference>
for more info on the kit, see matt's site: http://www.blehmco.com/300ZX_brakes.htm
For the complete kit, Matt sells it for $765 not including pads. I am willing to sell everything for $450, or $400 without the rotors. PRICE IS NEGOTIABLE, by the way, so make an offer! The calipers alone are worth around $300 if you buy remanufactured ones at most places....
All you'll need is a few bucks worth of hardware, some pads, and some fluid and you're in business. You may also want a couple washers to shim it to center it on the rotor, though you may not need to.
This is a nice kit and much cheaper than anything aftermarket. The braking is outstanding. The slight noise problem I originally had was solved by a slight filing of the aluminum along the edges of the caliper, and I put a total of about 20,000 miles on this setup with no major issues aside from the noise (which is now fixed).
I will clean them up before sale and repaint brackets with anti-rust paint.
On car (2pc rotors in pic are NOT included!)

Please note I made one small mistake in the description. When Irish originally sold this setup he wanted $400 without the rotors and $425 with the rotors, but would not ship the rotors due to shipping costs. So I paid $400 shipped without any rotors included. Therefore no rotors come with this. It's only calipers, pads, stainless steel brake lines, relocating brackets, and some nuts/bolts. You will need to get 6th gen rotors yourself, and you may want to replace the nuts and bolts with new ones.

You are currently first in line. However, these wont clear stock 17" wheels.
NewfoundlandDud
You are second in line because of your PM. Right now I'm not interested in trades, but thanks for the offer.
Absoundlab
Third in line. I'm selling everything that I received from Irish. As noted above, that did not include the rotors. I've edited that part of the post - sorry for the confusion

Just to clarify, my Pm wasn't asking for a trade.
I said that I have cash in hand, but if you were interested in a partial trade, I have a lot of stuff up right now.
It's cool if you weren't interested in the trade, you can get back to me via PM if TorridoMax isn't interested.

Edit: I'll give TorridoMax 24 hours from my response above

Hey man, I don't mean any offense, but there are other people who have been waiting for these as well. TorridoMax made him an offer first, then I did, then you made your offer.
We all have money in hand, but Armon is being fair about this, and offering the sale to the first person who approached him.
It looks like these are sold anyway, but if they aren't, then I should be the next in line.
Now please don't reply negatively to this, since it doesn't belong in Armon's thread. I was just stating the facts.
