"ok this has been abit of a nightmare to be honest. I needed new pads so i went to get the caliper off and its seized well and truely so were having to cut it off! ive purchased new calipers new pads and new disks my only problem is getting the caliper bolts as nissan say they have stopped producing them!! ive tryed parts gateway and numerous others with no joy ive even begged a few people that are selling for spares on the 200sx owners club and still no joy. Any ideas on where to look? or pointers on what to do? im tempted to get a bolt the same size but the guy at Nissan seemed to think it was a special thread on the bolt? :S ive never heard of this before so he could have been talking rubbish who knows. "
"no such thing as a 'special' thread. if you could find out what the thread size and pitch was you'd have no problem at all finding another bolt. have they come out?(i would think not cos your after new ones) are they a regular bolt or a torx E-torx thing. if you can find all that out i'll check the bolt bins at work and see if i can help. but any bolt supplier will be able to sort you them out prettty damn cheap. unless you let on its for a specific application in which cas they might try and rob you but you dont do that"

as above or have you tryed these people you see on ebay selling spares or repairs? maybe contact them and see if you can get them that way? or have you asked on your owners club for if they have any spare bits lying around?
"thanks for all the comments ive managed to sort this now though thanks for all the offers after 2-3 hours of deciding yes the caliper bolts are definatly siezed i managed to source a bag of goodies of the 200sx owners club so on route i have the caliper bolts a rear window wiper and motor and arm etc a set of bonnet hinges a chrome PAS tank a Chrome radiator cap some braided hoses and im still awaiting a set of brand new rear calipers and i have the discs and pads at home so once all that arrives i should be ready to rock and thats all the parts that im missing for now. "

Also have the front washer jet on route some drilled and grooved front disks.
and im looking into a volvo front mounted intercooler too for abit more punch and look to the car.
I also think i may have worked out how to make your own sleepy eye kit either that or i will just knacker my headlights so i need to look into it first i guess haha "
"cant see the point in sleepy eye kits. increase wind drag? reduce fuel efficency? yeah yeah japanese cars dont know the meaning of fuel efficency lol but in this day an age every little helps eh ? lol"

"what is this mod you speak of? never heard of it ....... is it where the headlights are on but lifted or sumthin?"
