1) They all use the same rear calipers and rotors (297mm x 26mm i think) with 2-piston calipers and a drum brake setup. 2) z32 front rotors are 280mm x 30mm (for the big ones, sometimes 28mm) and use either 4-piston cast iron calipers or aluminum ones.Apr 5, 2005

How do you know if your caliper?
- Pulling to one side. A seized brake caliper or caliper sliders can cause the vehicle to pull to one side or the other while braking.
- Fluid leaks.
- Spongy or soft brake pedal.
- Reduced braking ability.
- Uneven brake pad wear.
- Dragging sensation.
- Abnormal noise.
Are calipers different sizes?
Different sizes of caliper piston are only there for mounting space concerns, and has nothing to do with its performance in braking. To increase braking performance caliper piston area has to be large but it is also restricted by mounting space limit.

Do caliper pins need grease?
Before we re-insert the caliper guide pins into the caliper housing, they need to be properly lubricated. But remember, it's always best to check your vehicle's service manual before doing this kind of work. You're going to need some high-temperature grease. They should slide right in if you used enough grease.

Do calipers come with pistons?
Pistons are found in both floating and fixed brake calipers. There's usually one or two large diameter pistons in a floating caliper, on the inboard side of the brake rotor. When activated, the piston(s) draw both pads toward the brake disc. Typically you'll find four or six pistons per caliper.
