So when I purchased my car there was a pair of front 300zx calipers in the trunk without hardware. They look like they are in great shape, powdercoated and piston seals look good. I was just wondering if anybody could help me out on what I need to buy for them? Or how many of every piece I need… I’ve never really rebuilt my calipers before so excuse my ignorance lol

In terms of parts:

Now you don’t really need the brake pad shims (41080K in the diagram) but they are supposed to reduce noise. Everything else you need is there.

N here’s a rebuild tutorial, really simple to follow (it goes deeper in terms of replacing your seals n whatnot but it has everything else you need to know):

Hope it helps…

That looks like it’s all I need to know. Thank you very much!

As long as you aren’t reusing the 20 year old seals you’ll be fine to split them. I’ve done a number of sets without issue.
