Brake caliper seals
 
Been trying to source some brake caliper seals, have found a part number from someone -
41120 P6525

Googled this and found a kit for a 280zx with the same part number but its in the US. Anyone know where i can find this kit locally?

I also rang yp brakeparts.co.uk and a chap told me he has a kit for a granada that has a same size piston and has been cross referenced with a note saying that it fits the s12 :confused:

Anyone shed any light on this?

hi big dave try to look for brake kits before no joy going to buy new once for my silvia pistons no good piter . fast car needs good brakes to stop .:eek: cheers

well tim mate, you were right. I removed the pistons from both rear calipers, one was pretty god with an absolute minimal amount of pitting, but the other is shot to shit.

So im now looking to find a replacement piston or a whole caliper. fml.

Anyone have any ideas what other options I have brakes wise?

OK UPDATE TIME! Right I think i managed to find a replacement piston however I'm not too sure. The inside of my caliper looks perfectly fine with no corrosion so i figured a replacement piston would be good.

If you type in P4308 on ebay itll bring up nissan silvia rear caliper piston which shows it'll fit s12 fj20s'. Can someone confirm whether the fj20 had the same brake setup as the c18et?
