There are some cross reference parts you can use from the 510 on the
rear brakes. Haven't tried springs, but the brake piston (plunger) has
a rubber seal. Mine was leaking on one side about 7 years ago, and of course
the dealership said "no luck" when trying to order the part. I punted,
got a 510 seal & rebuild kit and it works perfectly to this day. You
may want to check the drawings (diagrams) of the 510 rears to see if
that part of the brakes are the same. 510's still had manual adjusters
(like the 311's) so that may be a good sign.
510 parts can be substituted at times. ie: if your starter is misbehaving
or you have it in a shop, you can take a 510 starter (L series engine)
flip it upside down (so it rotates in the right direction). The
bendex is facing the frame and it works. The downside is the bendex
gets beaten to death against the frame, a 510 starter will last
about 6 to 12 months (full time driving).

Hello to all,
I am still doing the rear axle and brakes on my car. Is the Nissan part
#43036-04100 still available. I have one Nissan parts department saying it
comes
up in his system available for $2.82, but he does not know what the
thickness
is. Another dealer says it is no longer available. Hmmm, who to believe?
If
they are NLA, does anyone know the thickness of the ones sold by Ralleye?
Also, what about the springs for the rear brakes. Are they NLA also?
Thanks,
JohnnyRoadster
