SkyJawa Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Been down to Toyota to order up the UK Spec brakes. I went in with the list of: UK Left Front Calliper 47750-14270 £195.19 excluding VAT UK Right Front Calliper 47730-14260 £195.19 excluding VAT UK Shim kit front 04945-14110 £12.43 excluding VAT UK Fitting kit front 04947-14010 £12.25 excluding VAT UK Left Front Disk 43516-14030 £74.03 excluding VAT UK Right Front Disk 43512-14200 £77.07 excluding VAT But they have said the disk part numbers are wrong, it should be one or the other as the disks are the same on both sides. They said to call back with a chassis no. if UK or model type and chassis no if JSpec (but if JSpec they could only supply whats meant for the car). Obviously this is a UK brake upgrade so I need to quote a UK chassis no. to phone them back with so they can get me the right parts. I'd be very grateful if the owner of one of those wonderful (crawl crawl) UK cars could PM me their chassis no. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Neil, my Euro EPC verison shows the exact part numbers for the RH and LH discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 What do you mean mate - that those part no's are right, and there is a seperate no. for each side? As they were adamant about it down at Octogon it was wrong, it would be the same part no. x2. (BTW it was both Steve and the small Irish guy I was talking too ) I guess I can't really go far wrong if I quote a chassis no. for a UK and ask for front left and right.........

That's what the EPC says! You might want to drive down and look at their EPC ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 EPC? So if I said to them I got both those part numbers off the EPC they'd accept it? (edited above to say its Steve and small Irish chap I was talking to) Still think they'll want a chassis no. too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 Alternatively they can shove it disk wise and I'll just phone up Fensport! Although I think I'd rather just give em a chassis no and get the lot from em, leaving them to sort out whats required - got some comeback then.

Onelife Nofear Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 You could always try http://www.car-parts-finder.co.uk/ enter what you want and most the time they come back with a excellent price!! I have had huge success with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 You definitely have the correct part numbers (checked from when I ordered mine) - the front disks are stamped "L" and "R" so you get them the right way round as the internal veins are curved and need to be pointing the right way.

SkyJawa Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 livvy, Superb - thanks - thats good enough for me I phoned them back, and told them that others had ordered these parts and they were correct and stamped differently R and L: 43516-14030 43512-14200 So he has ordered them on the proviso if they are wrong I can't return them. Cheers for the help Should be here by friday!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timwildman Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 The brakes are handed to actively help air pass through them, just like a fan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 The EASIEST way is to actually give them a chassis number from a UK spec Soop........ they HAVE to give the right parts then ! ! ! (have to 'borrow' someones UK chassis no. obviously ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 'spiral'-ing of rotor ventilation........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 ...so, as they turn 'forwards' they 'each' do a 'proper' job of ventilating ! ! NOT like all the cheaper (COMMON!) ventilated discs which are just RADIALLY ventillated (ie. 'straight' vanes from the centre.... POOH!)

SkyJawa Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 Cheers chaps - cool So they don't really know what they were on about!!! LOL!! Steve, it would have been easier with a chassis no I guess, but they still seemed to think they were the same part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Part numbers are: UK Spec Supra brake part nos. Left Rear Disk 42431-14150 Right Rear Disk 42431-14150 Left Front Disk 43516-14030 Right Front Disk 43512-14200 Left Rear Caliper 47750-14280 Right Rear Caliper 47730-14270 Left Front Caliper 47750-14270 Right Front caliper 47730-14260 Shim kit rear 04946-14030 Shim kit front 04945-14110 Fitting kit rear 04948-14010 Fitting kit front 04947-14010 Left & Right discs are different and labelled L & R and bizarely are slightly different prices. Try another Toyota dealer - Motorline in Canterbury will get you any parts that are available. PS (edit) I have done this mod (front only) and bought these parts quoting these part numbers.

SkyJawa Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 Brilliant - cheers John, as I suspected, I was right and they were wrong as thats exactly the part numbers I had. Anyway, they were cool in the end and just ordered the parts I requested regardless, and being as they are 2 mins walk from work its quite handy!!!!

livvy Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 By the way Neil, if you have a weight-lifting belt, take it with you when you go to collect the parts - mine all came in one large box - were shipped from oop north - and they weigh a ton, esp the calipers.

SkyJawa Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 Flipping eck you weren't joking The disks are HUUUUUUUGE and the callipers too - weigh a tonne! One of the parts chaps helped me though so it was ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 You're not wrong steve - they must weigh loads more than the Jspecs!!! Still, it will be nice to be able to stop my car at last! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
