Im gunna be trying out the MG Metro 4 pot calipers on the cherry. These are used as a brake upgrade on all the mini's so I think they should fit under a 13inch rim.

like these ebay ones.

Ps, do some research about the mk63 calipers and nismo mk63 calipers and solid or vented discs options.

Here is another link,

Easier to get an individual/company that buys stuff for you off japan yahoo auctions So all you do is browse the auction site and look for items.
And one can use a couple of language translator websites to help one translate from japanese to english. i.e google web translator for instance.

If patient,most times,good and affordable parts come up for sale on yahoo japan.As for the mk63 parts,i.e the seal kits, were very rare and expensive a few years ago on yahoo japan auctions.Not too rare nowadays but still hard to come by sometimes.

i.e
heres a link for 1 new nissan mk63 caliper piston.Buy it now 2840 yen(in japan) which equates to roughly aud$36 and landed in oz approx aud$100 -120 dollars depending on state and whether shipping or air freight. Thats the price for one new piston.The seller has given the customer the opportunity to let him know how many pistons they want to order.Would be cheaper to order a few and save on shipping.

However the pistons are hard to come by.for instance, if above seller runs out, one will have to wait for a pretty long while b4 getting others for sale.Demand and supply..

and heres a link for a new seal kit to overhaul the mk63 calipers.Landed in oz and depending on whether air freight or shipping, will roughly cost 130-150bks aud.

The calipers on the hand could be affordable if not too many bidders.In the past some race compound brake pads have come for sale at almost steal prices on yahoo japan auctions.

I have Sumitomo MK63 4 pot FIA calipers on my 1200 and I'm running 13" tires.

There are places in the states that you can send your old pads to have them relined.

As far as the rebuild kits they are expensive when found.

The most difficult to find is the pistons.

If you go onto the Japan Yahoo site you will see what they have to offer for the MK63's.

They often pop up in yahoo japan auctions.

Around the price range of aud$1500+ landed in oz for the front calipers.They were used by period specific race cars back in the days and offered by FIA for competition use.Do some research on them before going that route.One of their biggest advantage is that they are four pot yet fit under 13inch rims and are period specific.

Their rebuild kits now very often pop up on yahoo japan auctions and at very affordable prices.

You could also search for businesses that buy items for customers off yahoo japan auctions.Pm me if interested in ordering some from japan.

Cheers

That sounds interesting- whereabouts would I go to track some of these down?
bart - will give you a call.

Nismo or sumimoto Mk63 brake calipers.Not sure if alloy but They are four pot and fit under 13inch rims.They cost quite a bit though.Rebuild kits are now abit more common than a fews years back.

Dave, I'll have to give you a drive of my car. I run S13 brakes. They fit under 13" alloy's. And have all the stopping I've ever needed. Plus it's almost a bolt on conversion. Only once have they ever smelt hot, and I've never been able to make them fade. (Plus I'm only running cheap nasty pads)

The car is running 13" rims
