I'm actually taking my rears apart n rebulding after i get them powder coated ill show them up once I get them back
its pretty straight forward. dont need to take your calipers apart. remove piston by blowing air into it. i put a piece of wood between the pistons so the pistons didnt pop all the way out. make it easier for the other pistons to move out also. remove old seals/boot/rings. replace with new ones. probably takes less then 30min to do.

googling should come up with enough answers for rebuilding.

you can order the kit from
Brake Caliper Rebuild Kits
everything you need comes with it.

From my old car....some random high temp gold paint from auto zone and red touch up paint for the letters. Cheap, but I thought it was pretty cool. Gonna powdercoat this time around though.

you cant get new o-rings from the dealer if say...you fuck them up(they expand/etc). and i believe the fsm says you shouldnt take them apart. so that shit isnt necessary. someone correct me if im wrong.

The more you need done the more it cost... pretty much like anything in life. And prices will vary greatly between locations and regions. So it's not going to do you any good to find out what other people have paid. Just go into your local powder coating joint and ask them for a rough quote. I guarantee you they have done calipers before and should be able to give you an idea of what you are looking at.

see guys, this is what happens when you get too many posts -- too much bullshit. Example below:

Seriously? Use your head and think how hot brakes get, they get way hotter than the 300-400°F which is what powdercoaters cook their parts at. Caliper seals are all capable of those temperatures.

Correcto, the caliper halves should never be disassembled. Not to say I havent made that mistake (maybe 10 years ago?). Some calipers did come apart, others sheared the threads as the bolts tend to seize inside the caliper. Again, NOT worth the hassle.

The piston seals & dust boots, you can remove. No sense in being a miser about that since most people overhaul them during rebuild.

Damn... I never thought I'de be the smart guy around here. Shows you that even idiots like me can know something if you do it long enough.

What calipers are these? R32 GT-R? Call me a hipster but I don't like how z32 calipers have "ribs" on them, for lack of a better term. Purely cosmetic but I prefer the smooth look like this.

B.I.N.G.O.

R32 GTR calipers and rotors (brand new Nissan rotors, actually)

These look so much cooler than any of the Z32 brakes.

HOT BRAKES. HOT LOOKS.

Splitting the z32 caliper to powdercoat shouldn't be a problem... as mentioned you can get the entire rebuild kit including the rubber seals you need after splitting them in half here
Front Brake Caliper Rebuild Kit

Shouldn't be a problem if you want to keep them together either.

Anyone use clear coat on their calipers and NOT have it yellow? All the ones I've tried have yellowed and flake.

Not trying to say other ppl in here are wrong BUT....there is NOTHING wrong with separating the calipers. Have rebuilt quite a few z32 calipers and my brembo calipers on my old 350z. Worked great!!! Lots of ppl will say don't separate em but for those that have, I'm sure they can confirm also there isn't anything wrong with them, work perfectly fine after you put em back together. Just sayin...

Sorry boss...dont have any at the time, still doing my suspension build so cars still on jack stands, wheels and tires should go on in a couple of weeks as far as color goes I'll have to get the website that my powder coater goes to but I know that it's a candy purple, like I said, don't have an official ordering # or anything but just ask for a candy purple with your powder coater

backintoan, just because you did something doesnt mean its correct/advisable. i have done the same in the past, many calipers removed alum material from the caliper when disassembled due to the bolts seizing. i have not done 2-5 pairs, i've rebuilt maybe 40 pairs of calipers over the years. i stopped disassembling the halves a LONG time ago, not worth the risks of stripping the aluminum.

FSM says things for a reason, i'de have to say that the FSM in almost all cases is correct. furthermore, what specs are you using for torque values? all of this matters.

bottom line, not disassembling the halves is LESS work and perfectly reliable. to-date, i have NEVER heard of one caliper halve leaking. has anyone seen this before?
