Stearing Pulls Under Braking (sometimes)

[PIOTREK]

Hey guys this morning i quickly done a search and nothing came up, so here goes.

I have had this problem, under braking (sometime, rarely) the car pulls really hard to the left.

I thought that it could have something to do with the brakes and capilter but the only thing that i really needs is a machine of the front rotors, the pad are still fine (and even on both sides). What puzzles me is that it doesn't always happen, just sometimes.

Any ideas?? The allignment is generally fine, doesn't pull or anything (on the perfectly straight road )

if u have a jack at home, lift up the front end, and check for play in each wheel horizontly and vertically by shaking side-to-side, also pedders do suspension check for $20 odd which is pretty cheap

The pistons in the caliper are seizing.

To be honest i'm thinking along those lines 2!!! does this mean that i need to replace to caliper? or if i pull it apart and clean it will this slove the issue?

Rebuild or replace the caliper on the opposite side to which the steering pulls.

[PIOTREK]

so if it pulls to the left, that mean right one is gone? Can you please clarify wat do u class as a rebuild. Because there are only really seals that u can replace? i replaced the ones in the middle of the caliper about 6months ago

in the middle? by that i take it as the 2 seals between the halves of the caliper itself.

for the pistons to sieze the actual seal inside the pistons bore would need replacing.

its $90 for a rebuild kit for the front of an r33 gtst

If it was me, I would rebuild both sides.

It's cheap and easy.

Why wait for the other one to go, or mismatch the performance??????

Yer i think that i'm gonna do it this weekend. Do i need anything specific? I mean that tools wise.

Many people done it before by themselves, cause i'm a fan of playing with things by myself

yeh i'd be interested in this too.

where do you get the kits?

whats involved?

[PIOTREK]

come on anyone?

[2LV8ETR]

Nissan will carry the rebuild kits, just call and ask.

As far as tools, nothing special is required, just the standard.

You'll need to drop the brakes, rip them apart, clean them, put the new seals in, put them back together, bleed them, then drive away.

Too easy.

thanks mate i found some floating around, but i'm a fan of nissan seals as they need to be of high quality.

Thanks for your input

i got a price for a pair of rear seal kits $90 posted.

i'd be interested in a price for genuine Nissan gear though.

hey guys i bought my kit and i have pulled apart the calipers but im having a little trouble getting the pistons out, im getting there slowly levering with a screwdriver but is there a better way of doing it?

[2LV8ETR]

Make sure the pistons are facing down and give the inlet hole a blast of compressed air.
