T.Cassell Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hi after suggestions for new rear calipers for my n/a Supra. Model number JZA80. I cannot seem to find them to buy. Please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 They are almost certainly the single piston ones yes? If so they are easy to refurb and you can get a replacement piston (stainless if you like) if yours are pitted/rusty. I think they are very expensive brand new, used ones are quite common but probably need a refurb too, but can be worth having a spare set as you can then refurb at your leisure and have spares if one semi seizes again. There are some ones normally on ebay that are refurbished professionally and you can send yours in for a discount against them.

Scooter Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Disc-Brake-Caliper-Friction-Choice-Caliper-Rear-Left-fits-93-98-Toyota-Supra-/292284671561?epid=75816739&hash=item440d862649:g:tLEAAOSw5UZY-PxK cheap ones in the states? To check yours look at the numbers and letters (48 16V) imprinted in the caliper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 As scooter said easy enough to refurb with kits, Chris Wilson does kits. eBay do cheap kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.Cassell Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Thanks. I think I won't make Suprapod if I wait till the states delivery. I have a garage do all my work I just get the parts. I took my car in today so want to get some to them quick. I do use it as an everyday car too so need it back. I'll look into the refurbished ones. Last time I bought refurbs for the front they didn’t last long and they were 300 for both. So I bought new for about the same price last year.

Scooter Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-SUPRA-JZA80-OFFSIDE-REAR-CALIPER-/122746115178?hash=item1c943d146a:g:8RYAAOxy1RZSZN23 these would seem a good bet, just be mindful that these don't include the carrier with the sliders in (compare to the american link/pic and you'll see the part i mean) ie if those are the bits that are currently seized and not the piston itself then it won't solve your problem.

Dnk Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 or get yours refurbished by http://www.biggred.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.Cassell Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thanks all Tony from Biggred thinks it would be tight but if I could get them up to him by Friday he'd refurbish them and try and get them back by next Thursday. This would be great service. I have now confirmed that the 1 on ebay is the correct type and should arrive here by Friday... can't miss the Suprapod. Now I need a front nearside drumstick.

T.Cassell Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Just bought one. Slang term. The connection between the steering rack and the track rod end that looks like a drumstick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
