I am almost ready to put my new rotors, calipers an brake lines on my 32.

I had my 33 front calipers professionally rebuilt an painted my the car was in at the workshop last year (they aren't on the car yet). I pulled them out of storage on the weekend and found certain parts of it missing!

The bolts that go across the opening on top, where you'd see the pads come into contact with the rotors, are missing on both calipers. As well as the lil spring steel plate/shim that goes there too.

What I was wondering was, is there any other parts in that top area besides the pads, bolts an shim?

Would my 32 type m caliper donate it's ones or is it not compatible?

The workshop also lost the bolts for my radiator panel -__- their work is really good but I'm still not impressed

Any advice or help will be appreciated :-)

The workshop lost them, but I have to shoulder some of the responsibility too, since I failed to check if they were in the box the calipers were returned to me in.

I only noticed last night and was hoping that it maybe a common knowledge thing, cause I have to fight to get the skyline into the garage to work on it lol. One garage space, four cars, four opinions on who gets the garage.

Yeah I know the feeling, I lost the centre caps to my wheels, forgot about them at the tyre shop.

Hmm, you can always crash into their cars then say "should have let me fix the brakes before when I wanted to" :P

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
