I've rebuilt a set of AUDM rear calipers using parts from U13 ATTESA calipers.

The housings are different, but all the internals are the same. I think they used different size rotors, so the caliper housings had to be different.

Kits are available. From memory I got the seal kit from Slacks Creek Brake and Clutch for about $40.

When you're rebuilding them make sure there's no rust pitting at all on the pistons, or the seals won't last long at all. Rust was the reason I needed the ATTESA parts for mine.

Take a caliper in to a brake specialist, they should be able to help you.

Or ask Nissan about a rebuild kit.

i had the rear calipers on Niz (#1) re-kitted twice, but i just let the mechanic do it all, so i have no idea where he got parts from or anything. Plus mine's just Aus spec, so dunno if that would help much anyways.

hi guys digging this old topic from the dead, did some more research and the front calipers on the JDM is the same as the R33GTS25 or something, the non turbo skyline we use the rotors for. this info was gotten from FAST.

I have actually ordered a long time ago and have the original rebuild kit for the fronts from nissan as referene and they are the same part numbers as the skyline (will post part no when i get home). Just need to get the seal kit for the rears.

on the rears, has anyone done it themselfs? there seems to be a lot more internal parts on the rear calipers due to the handbrake. Ive rebuilt front calipers but wouldnt mind some knowledge/guidance for the rears

Pull rears apart slowly as everything is spring loaded.
