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.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
