New R33 Gtst Caliper Pistons?

[Fry_33]

Hi All,

I've been looking doing a full rebuild done of my brakes. The seal kits are fairly easy to source and the prices are fairly reasonable.

I got a price for new caliper pistons from Nissan and they are around $120-130ea! I didn't expect them to be cheap but that is rediculous.

What I was wondering is whether or not anybody knows of any alternatives for sourcing new pistons, other than Nissan. I have searched and cannot find any alternatives. I am sure I saw someone mention that they had their calipers rebuilt with new seal, pistons and everything but it cost them less than $200 for the fronts.. I don't see how that's possible at the moment.

Thanks

When i rebuilt my calipers i just cleaned up the old pistons. I used 1200 grit wet n dry on the mating surface anywhere i could see any sort of inconsistency. I'd say replacing them is a bit over the top. I didnt split the caliper either, again because i couldnt see any point.

I am just wondering whether anyone knows of somewhere else other than Racebrakes and Nissan to get piston calipers. Racebrakes do have them but not enough, Nissan have them but are around 3 times the price of Racebrakes. Surely someone else must have them.
