Shop Time for Caliper Rebuild.

New Nissan calipers are $1200 now. You might save on labor cost. I just bought new ones, swapped the rotors out. It really is simply to do.

Whatever rebuild kit you get. MAKE sure there is the o-ring seal for between the halves. Some kits don't have that o-ring like the OEM kit. The kit from Z1 has the o-ring.

I should go into business rebuilding the calipers. It doesn't take that long. I posted pic's a caliper rebuild that I did in this thread. The pic's start on page 4.

If you guys ship me the calipers and rebuild kits. What are you willing to pay?

Good point the o-ring is included in the Okebono brake caliper rebuild kit from the Nissan race shop. Rebuilding brake calipers is fairly easy just takes time. I don’t know where some of you guys are finding the Akebono calipers so cheap? I payed a lot more for my Okebono brake kit. Comparing to other brand calipers I have people have overall good luck with the Okebono calipers depends on the demand on your brake system?
