ok guys got the calipers back today. Havnt been rebuilt as of yet... but I told the guy to order in the parts. I told him they were off a KE25 but he said on the computer it shows two different types of calipers and my calipers don't look anything like the pictures. He said they look exactly like KE30 calipers. So he said ill order in the pistons for them and the rebuild kits aswell. So basically I'm confused. So thats why I took some pics. Do I have KE30 calipers or KE25 calipers? I thought you couldnt use KE30 calipers with 12" rims? If thats so I must have KE25 Sumitomo calipers? Anyone got a close up pic of a caliper that is defiantly KE30? On the PBR website it shows that the FRONT WHEEL piston is the same on KE25, KE30 and KE55 = JB8128 It also says that the FRONT WHEEL Kit-Caliper (Min) is the same on both KE25 and KE30 = K1180S And I should say that I assume these parts are for the sumitomo caliper type. Item No: 260235282559 on ebay looks to be a KE30 caliper as the numbers on the fin are different? KE55 calipers look pretty much the same but the part that bolts up to the backing plate is different to mine and also the numbers on the fin: http://www.rollaclub.com/board/?showtopic=12707 Here is a picture of KE30 calipers: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~bradw/callipers.html

Spotted minta one owner KE20 in wagga wagga and on the way home a brown ke20 on main north rd Also spotted a shitload of datsuns on my recent road trip.

Well my mate couldnt get the pistons out of the calipers lol. He soaked them in kero and brake cleaner since friday. He applied compressed air and everything and still couldnt get em out lol. So went and picked em up today and dropped em off at Power Brakes. 20 minutes later and "pop" out they come lol! Now getting them rebuilt. Should be sweet. Cheers Tally

Hahah thats killer man. Glad to see it back. Looks like u may need a new front bumper Hope the plastics are all ok. Cheers Tally

Well just went up to Power Brakes. He can get the pistons and rebuild kits, and much cheaper then the other places that I got quotes from $54 for each piston and $16 for each rebuild kit. So Most likely get the stuff from him.

F@ark thats insane!!! 20V FTW!!! Need RT40 corona parts? I can get a shitload lol Cheers Tally

sad man but what can ya do? stuff happens aye. At least for the people who have them the prices will just keep on going up. Still find them if you look hard enough me thinks.

Spotted yellow Ke20 on port wakefiled rd and yellow Ke70 drifta on main north road.

Just got back from getting them checked out. Getting em done by my dads mate. He said rebuild kits are available no probs but he said to cross my finders about the pistons. He called 20 suppliers and only one said he thinks he has some, and he is in sydney. So fingers crossed. PBR no longer make the pistons anymore. The caliper is a japanese brand Sumitomo. PS type (small =O= looking piston body, open disc pad tops with large pad protector) My other KE20 brakes are the F type (small round piston body, closed disc pad cover with viewing hole) and thats probebly why they didnt fit, well they did but they rubbed the rotors. Rotors must be different between KE20 and KE25. So yea hopefully it works out. He is gonna soak em over night and then pull em apart. He said he 'MIGHT' be able to use the pistons again but its very unlikely as they would most likely be pitted from rusting. Ill see what happens. Cheers Tally

Yea still don't wanna risk it man. ok just so I know would I get the rebuild kit from sprints, supercheap, repco?

I would do it man just like I have done everything else on my car but as other people have said, id rather get a specialist to do it right.

Oh shit dude your one is the overrated az one aye? Its Tally abrahams mate with the overrated KE70. Damn didnt even get to see it in the flesh.

I'm pretty sure Mazda only did that style on mazda 800 and 1000 sedans and wagons. The 1200,1300,808, Capella and RX series never had hubcaps like that. They only had one peice hubcaps or trim rings with center caps.

shit doesnt sound to good... Where was it stolen from? Will keep an eye out for sure. Cheers Tally

And also a TE27, corona and a publica :D

Cheers for the help guys. Let you know how I go.

Ill swap ya my KE70.

Looking at getting my KE25 calipers rebuilt. I wanna keep my 12" rims now lol so I can't upgrade to ke55 brakes as they need 13" wheels. They are seized I assume they would need a rebuild kit thrown at them. So if anyone could recommend a good brake specialists that would be great. Cheers Tally

TE27s came in many forms. Here is few that I know. Correct me if I'm wrong: TE27 2T/2TC (Japan and America) JDM only: TE27 Sprinter 2TG/3K-B (twin carbs) TE27 Levin 2TG/2T TE27 Trueno 2TG/2T US only: TE27 SR5 2T/2TC TE27 SR 2T/2TC TE27 S5 2T/2TC There is also TE20, TE21, TE25, TE28 which came with 2T and 2TC (JDM and US) KE2# series all came with "K" series engine. Hope that helps. Cheers Tally

Yea lol i knew taht would happen :P And I also forgot to add that I got flashed by that camera further up glynburn rd. Spewin hard. was doing 70 :S

Mine are genuine man, came in the toyota box with the red striped toyota text. Also came with the original screws. i got mine for one $188 inc postage. Just letting you know as I find it to be really good to get rare parts from there. For example look at these, cheap az!: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOYOTA-COROLLA-TE27...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOYOTA-COROLLA-TE27...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOYOTA-COROLLA-TE27...1QQcmdZViewItem Cheers Tally

In Japan, europe and america they got 2T engines as an option in all the KE2# model range from 1970 to 1975. Australia missed out, we only got K motors in them :P

That was the most shitest cruise I have ever been on lol. didnt even cruise as only two cars rocked up besides me :P

Shitest meet ever. Only two other cars rocked up so I left after having a chat with woteva :P
