Junkyard Gold: Salvaging Porsche 18Z Brakes for My 350Z

In this video I’m salvaging a set of Porsche 18Z 6-piston brakes from a donor vehicle — and walking through the full process of removing them and inspecting what actually matters before buying used performance brakes. Big brake swaps are popular, but buying used parts without knowing what to look for can cost you way more in the long run. I cover: How to safely remove calipers and hardware What wear and damage to check before buying Signs of heat stress and abuse What parts are reusable vs. replaceable Tips for junkyard or donor car pulls This is the first step in a larger build. In a future video I’ll go deep into the full 18Z conversion onto my 350Z, including brackets, rotors, and fitment details. If you’re hunting used performance brakes or planning a big brake swap, this guide should help you avoid expensive mistakes. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🙏Thanks for viewing my VLOG, Please dont forget to #subscribe 🔥 Merch 👉 https://3rdpedalmedia.com/ 🔥 Like 👍👍 🔥 Subs 👉https://www.youtube.com/c/itzmeToXIc?sub_confirmation=1 🔥 Help Create more Garage Moments 👉https://www.patreon.com/kevan_h 📨 Contact join my Discord Server https://discord.gg/ypAS8DKRTh 📦 Send Us some Sub mail! and lets read it on air..
