Save some BIG dollars..read this !

Hi guys,
Had nothing to do today so i checked brakes on my GQ before heading back down to Melbourne on Thursday night. Glad i did, found the rear caliper slides were not working. So i pulled calipers off and pulled them apart, found out the slide rubbers were split causing mud, water and sand to get in over time and caused them to lock up (not sliding).

Rang Nissan for a caliper overhaul kit and almost died when they told me they were well over $100.00 a side. So i decided to shop around and came across these blokes in Fairfield that had the kits instock at a cost of $8.00 per side. I was a bit sus when i went up there to pick them up so i had a long hard look at them and found no difference at all. So i overhauled calipers and replaced all rubbers today.
Replaced brake fluid with new fluid too as you do :-).

I think Nissan really needs to wake up on parts prices. I know its not just Nissan ripping us off on prices, I believe the spare parts market is where the dealers are making their money after selling NEW products, and we guys are their target.

So shop around before buying anything, i saved over 200.00 today alone. That will go towards my next trip :-)
The place where i got great service and excellent prices is..
AND NO...i am not affiliated with them in any way.
