Brake Calipers no longer avail. through Nissan

[sblake01]

I think Carl was talking about Scarab's pics. Jared yours look just like the ones I bought about a year ago, maybe a litlle longer. Do the shims come in that kit?

Nope, My error in my 1st post. Just looked when i took the photos and no shims in that kit.

Hopefully my orig. 32 yr. old calipers are still OK. They seem to work fine when I hit the brakes. I don't know I have to look at them.

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.

Maybe we should see if this is another part available in Canada..

If not perhaps we can still order just the pistons and seals etc

Third alternative is to get the piston spec.'s and order new pistons from another OEM source...

Just a thought..

I thought the shims were seperate. Might even have a set or two extra somewhere in the garage. I bought all that stuff including the calipers about a year or so ago so the guy who bought my car has basically new brakes with about 850 miles on them.

Sounds like your buyer made out good Stephen
