Features of Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a semi-assembled caliper solution that balances ease of installation with customization options. This product line is designed to provide a durable and consistent braking experience by utilizing high-quality materials such as aluminum for both the caliper body and pistons. The semi-loaded design means the caliper comes with some components pre-installed, such as abutment clips and bleeder screws, but does not include brake pads or mounting hardware, allowing for tailored brake system setups.

Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.42165 features a fixed caliper type with six pistons made from aluminum, offering improved heat dissipation and reduced weight compared to cast iron alternatives. The caliper casting is also aluminum, contributing to overall vehicle weight reduction. The caliper is finished in gray, providing a corrosion-resistant surface suitable for various driving conditions. It includes a bleeder screw with an M10x1.0 thread size for efficient brake fluid bleeding and maintenance. The inlet thread diameter matches the same M10x1.0 specification, ensuring compatibility with standard brake lines. Abutment clips are included to secure brake pads properly, although pads and mounting hardware are not part of this assembly. The caliper is designed for the leading axle position on Nissan GT-R models, supporting bore sizes of 30, 34, and 36 millimeters to accommodate different piston diameters.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement of worn or damaged front disc brake calipers on Nissan GT-R
• Restoring braking performance affected by caliper piston corrosion or sticking
• Upgrading to a semi-loaded caliper for easier maintenance and rebuilds
• Addressing brake fluid leaks due to faulty bleeder screws or inlet fittings
• Improving brake system reliability with durable aluminum caliper construction

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.42165, ensure compatibility with your Nissan GT-R’s brake system by verifying piston bore sizes and mounting bracket fitment. Since mounting hardware and brake pads are not included, source these components separately to complete the installation. Properly bleed the brake system using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain optimal brake pedal feel. Use recommended torque specifications for mounting bolts and inlet fittings to avoid damage or leaks.
