I believe they sell rebuild kits and also do rebuilds inhouse, but that was sometime ago, so best to give them a call

Caliper rebuilds are easy as, could save some money...

I think he's suggesting buying a rebuild kit, then doing the rebuild yourself

DIY man.

There's not a lot to a brake caliper. Hardest part would be the rears because of the handbrake assembly. But it's pretty much a few bolts holding the caliper halves together, remove the seals, bit of compressed air into the brake fluid galleries to get the piston out, remove the o-ring, wet and dry sandpaper to clean up the bore, replace the o-ring, lube up the new piston with some grease or new brake fluid, push it back in, reapply the seals, and you're done. Rinse and repeat. Took me about an hour.

33 gts-t rears are same style as the front .

[luvpsi]

All good the calipers are going on Vl so it's just stock Vl calipers on rear

There ya go then.

I only did my fronts at the time, so wasn't sure if the rears would be more complicated. Out of interest, is there a difference between any of the Skyline rears vs fronts, or are the all pretty much the same???

Yes there is a difference , Fronts are 4 piston and rears are 2 piston

[luvpsi]

I don't think that's what he meant

all of the import skylines from hr31 on use a drum handbrake on the inside of the rotor. so the caliper itself is the same style as the front in that it just has pistons pushed by fluid from the master, they have nothing to do with the handbrake.

That's what I was after lol, thanks mate.

Thinking about it, that's fairly obvious
