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 ???

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
