Does anyone know where I can get ahold of the brake shims/hardware kit for the Skyline R32 GTR (non brembo)? For reference, here is the kit I am speaking of; http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=2897 . Part # for the calipers are; 41001-05U01 & 41011-05U01 . I purchased the kit last year, and plan to throw them on within the next few weeks.
There are a few ppl who are using this setup, but surprisingly nobody seemed to have trouble with the shims. I thought maybe it was b/c it uses the same pads as the 240 or the z32, but according hawk's website, the pads for the r32 gtr have a different respective part #'s.
I've also called Performance Nissan asking the same advice (where i purchased the calipers), but yet to have a response from them. Most of their reps seem to know nothing about it! One guy who claimed he was going to check on them never got back to me. Another separate merchant that i work with claim that the r32 hardware kit is completely out of production! :ugh: wonder if anyone can verify this.
I've tried searching under 'r32 brakes' and 'gtr brakes' on here and freshalloy, but to no avail. Most r32 threads were about fitament and find rotors, which isn't my concern here.
If anyone can find the brake shim/hardware kit, that would be very much appreciated. If not, this may be a good way of letting everyone know to think twice before purchasing a kit that doesn't have a readily avail shim kit. TIA!
