Dgreig555 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Hello eveyrone I Have a JP Auto TT 2JZ-GTE and unfortunatly I have had many problems with brakes. The biggest problem for myself and garages is the identification of the correct parts. I have ordered and return'd 1 set of front calipers I have a set of Jap front pads sitting in my shed that are no use. In a little over a year I have changed out. Full set of front Calipers, 2 sets of pads and a set of rear pads in a little over 6 months. Now today I have discovered that the Drivers side rear caliper is stuck on and the nearly new pads are wreaked [ANGRY][/ANGRY] I've been told many stoies regarding brakes systems on JP Mk4 Supra's. 'upgraded with the EU Spec?' 'Fitted with aftermarked by previous owner?' I really need to know the correct status. The specifications say. Rear Brake - pre 95 - 307mm post 95 - 324mm Rear Brakes - type PE43R Rear Brakes - pot diameter 42.8mm Rear Brakes - pot number 1pot Rear Brakes - pad area 33Cm2 Rear Brakes - rotor size 307.0mm x 16mm Rear Brakes - rotor minimum 15.0mm thick I have attached photo's below of the offending rear caliper, still on the car. (peeing down with rain today). I need help identifying what caliper this is to buy replacement, failing that what commonly used, mid range calipers are availble to fit straight on the car. Any help identifying what likely caliper this is, or advice on alternatives I can fit would be appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 ebay Item number: 120954297075 is a possible option, £95 all in when you return yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) As said they are the smaller 1pot rear calipers. Which calipers do you have on the front? if you have the larger 4pot front calipers I'd take the opportunity to upgrade the rears to the larger 2pot calipers.

garethr Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 ...Now today I have discovered that the driver's side rear caliper is stuck on and the nearly new pads are wrecked...The problem may not be with the caliper. It's often the sliders that stick rather than the piston in the caliper. There is nothing special about the calipers on a Supra, any decent local garage could sort them out.
