Bolt issues with Nissan 200sx

"Ok im getting jared off now really lol the front caliper bolts are the same as the back ones were (seized) lol so yeh nightmare snapped 2 out and so im on the search for new retainers and bolts for the s13 front calipers however as its a old car the bolts are now obsolite by nissan now and so i cant get them from them ive tryed the owners club and most people want to sell them with the calipers.... and its doing my head in really are there any specialist japanese scrappys or bolt manufacturers? any recomendations as to what to do with the rest of the bolts? all the ones im taking out im puting back in with copper grease but it looks like this is going to only get worse as i start replacing more items on the car!! "

"see phil.. i'm sure hsi work sell bolts. any bolt supplier should be able to sort you out . if its metric i could probs sort you out with some from work but we only stock metric really 1/2 unf but they're like 125mm long. if you could find the thread pitch out then i'm sure you would be able to source some"

if you let me know whats bolts u have im sure we will some here at work.. we sell boomin allsorts

"these are nissan specialist bolts so i cant see it being likely the oversized nut that the bolts screw into are a weird shape designed to fit into the caliper retainer. what ive done is just bought the full front calipers second hand so i cant get the bolts and retainers and then il just sell the rest on if i dont need it and should any more problems arrise with the front braking system i have spares so i wont have this hassel for the next side lol THIS CAR HAS TO BE READY FOR THE 4th of April so im cutting it abit fine haha "

haha better get a move on fella.

"can we get a pic of one of theese bolts? "

are the bolts not the same for all nissan models? eg the S14 or S15 calipers be the same??

"right these (touch wood) are just sorted now! i have also gained a spare set of rear slider bolts for the nissan 200sx too should any one need these haha but yes i got sent the rear bolts i was suspect but thought well they look similar so my fit but survey says IGH ORRRG not a chance! emailed the guy and he said it was a honest mistake he is refunding my money sending me the front bolts i need and i can keep the calipers and bolts for the rear he has sent me!! so cant really complain haha @Caz no the s14 uses different braking setups than on the s13 sadly! and the s15 i imagine being even more different still. what i dont understand though is that nissan stated they couldnt supply these bolts at all.... so lets say i want a service and mot done by the main dealer and they needed to replace the calipers and bolts how would they have done it? if as they stated the bolts are now obsolite or will they of just done what i ive done and source them second hand?
