Ok i got a leak in my passenger side Z32 caliper. I know I need a rebuild, I just dont know which kit to get.

Courtesy Nissan Sells two rebuild kits. Front Brake Hardware Kit
(complete front) for about $51 bucks

or Front Caliper Seal Kit
(complete front) for about $27 bucks.

Which one do I get? Im thinking its the seal kit. Right?

if it leaks you need new seals not new hardware

its coming from where the two halves come together.

Wtf do I do?

the two halves have only two holes.. one on each side to flow brake fluid. and there is a o-ring around those two holes.. take the caliper apart and change the o-rings

tighten the bolts holding the caliper together?

change the o-rings? If you ever find them post up the item#. Just in case don't throw them away. I tightened mine to 65 pounds or so.

mmdb · 05-14-2004, 10:47 PM

oh yeah get the kit that's 90-92 otherwise you'll be getting ones for the iron calipers.

So I took the two halves apart only to find that one of the O-rings is MISSING. DUH! WTF? I think im going to get new teflon o-rings... where? I dont know. If anyone knows where to get them. Hook me up
