Hey guy's

Looking at sourcing a calper rebuild kit for a set fo R32 4pot fronts. They arn't going on a skyline so I don't have a VIN number which is making my life a little harder then it needs to be! :)

Where do you just buy your kits from? is there a trader that can supply me one without supplying a VIN number?

Any help would be golden.

Cheers!

just had mine overhauled... my mechanic had them sent away to a caliper specialist.

basically they replaced the rubber boots, pistons and resleeved the calipers, took the whole thing apart and cleaned the whole lot out. although i cant help you with the kit - i can help you with costs.

fronts $195 (pair) not incl. labour

rears $165 (pair) not incl. labour

Front rebuild kits are either:

SJ6070

or

Protex 210E0011

approx $40-50ea

Rear kits:

SJ6024

or

Protex 210E0103

approx $70-80ea

These kits do only 1 caliper so need 2 of each.

Try ABS in the phone book, Race Brakes Melbourne or Sydney.

mate i thin k u got ripped off i got mine done at brakes plus for 4 $160BUT I TOOK MY CALLIPERS OF, that was the fronts aswell

according to the guy above me, not really.

that said labor is the big killer in these kinds of things. with most mechanics charging $60-80/hour the costs easily add up.

price sounds ok to me, I got a price a couple of years back and to replace the pistons(genuine) was a $100 each, which is $800 just to rebuild the fronts + seals+ labour - wprst case scenario- His price doesn't seem too bad considering the types of brakes they are.

I got my caliper kits today.

Front rebuild kits: Protex 210E0011 $35ea

Rear kits: Protex 210E0103 $ 30ea

They were single caliper kits (so 2 of each needed)

These fit all Nissan front 4 spots (excl Brembo and some R34?) and rear 2 spot calipers. WRX also.

ABS told me SJ6070 were to do both sides (not 100% sure about this though)

I previously ordered SJ6024 (Japanese TRW/Lucas) and they were single caliper kits.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
