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.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
