Anyone Got Spare R30 Rear Brake Calipers?

Ridiculous - I blow the calipers up quicker than the pads! If anyone has a set Ill ping you some cash electronically.

Cheers mate, if you find the one in the garage, or hit pick a part before I do, can you grab the rear passenger side caliper for me? Ill fix you up of course. D

BUGGER! Someone poached the brakes from the r30 and pick pay and go, and there are none to be had at pick a part Kilsyth. If anyone has some, or spots them at your local please let me know! Especially the rear passanger caliper - it's starting to make horrible noises!

Cheers,

yep, got one left side rear caliper, and front caliper. pads too.

they look pretty ordinary, but definitly work.

Im in Ringwood, work 2 km from Nissco, so I can leave them for ya with Randy for you to pickup one perfect day....

[coupe72001]

Unreal. Wont need the front (mine are Hilux) but the rear would be great. You can leave it with Randy or better yet, swing by the NDSOC show and shine this Sunday at Southbank. Ill be there all day.

Drew! How do you define "horrible noises" because these calipers are nearly bullet proof and I find it amusing that you keep destroying them?

I first got this horrible grinding metal on metal noise about a year ago. I replaced pads (twice), put new kits in, did the wheel bearings, new anti-rattle springs... and so on, but still couldn't get rid of the damn noise. Finally I took the car to an engineer who simply grabbed hold of the handbrake cable, gave it a yank, and the caliper clunked - there was buckets of play. I tried replacing that caliper and sure enough the noise went away. I don't know if the same side let go as last time, but when you are dealing with a 30-year-old second-hand part these things are going to happen.
