I Have new factory Nissan hardware kits that I bought a while back ago that comes with the anti squeel springs and shims and wanted to get new calipers for it now and Courtesy Nissan E-mails me today "Dear Jared, Sorry the calipers for your car are no longer available through Nissan" So now I suppose I have to go aftermarket on those and I'm sure the hardware kit won't work in the aftermarket ones Never fails :classic:

No real reason to believe that they won't work... most likely the same as OEM...

Worth a try...

Hopefully they will. Maybe it's just me but the aftermarket ones I saw looked slightly different. Could be just me too. Can't trust pictures.

Do the pads, shims and springs look like these ??

I havent actually pulled mine off yet but looking at the FSM for my 280Z, they look different from the ones you posted. I'll know more when I have a chance to work on it while I'm off from work on vacation.

Huh? Nissan doesn't sell calipers for s30's anymore??! Currently I have some reman calipers on my Z and they SUCK. The pistons have no plating which is why I get 2-3 years out of a set. I was hoping to buy some real calipers from nissan.

Not Certain - but those look like the pads from the MK-65, four piston calipers..

Are you sure they are for a stock 280Z?

FWIW,

Ok, just took some photos of my new factory pads and hardware Kit.

Me?? Yep Original Girling Sumitomo

Carl: Yes -- Those are for the FIA 4 piston calipers -- I thought he might have a set -- When I heard him state that Nissan no longer stocks "stock" calipers ..I figured maybe he had a set for my Scarab

Always looking
