didn't see it but i'd say one piece. one of the pins fell off as well so i gotta find that too. i just heard a clank noise before my brakes failed. we pulled over a short while after for no reason and when i tried to take off the piston was rubbing on the disk so we took the wheel off for a look. the bottom pin was missing along with the inside pad and the top pin just came off.

i thought i was going to have to sleep in my car tonight in the middle of nowhere. lucky i had help from ppl that knew what they were doing.

I once had a rear pad fall off at the track, the actual pad managed to come off the backing, and fall out of the caliper - nasty noise too.

Result wasn't too bad though, just had the disc machined and pads replaced

I have never heard of that happening. Do the pins have retaining clips or are thay a squeeze fit? Most unusual to lose BOTH pins.

Were the brakes touched during repairs you had recently?

the pins had retaining clips. key word being had. i only lost one pin, the other one was just loose.

the brakes weren't touched during last repair.

just trying to locate a pin, clips and a couple of pads today

I had no idea what i was doing on the computer...i knew i actually had a bendix box with the part number for the rear pads at my parents house :P

the retaining clip is real dodegy on the skyline! I modified my using clips of a R/C Car (the ones tamiya used to hold the bodies down in place).

George, did you have the silver plate in place, the one which is king of spring loaded and is ina cross shape...that puts pressure on the pins and i'd assume "just" hold the pins in place...

Again...Sorry dude....I'm not that "bright" with a computer....Now wheres my mouse ???

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
