its not that hard just to take the pads out and get them looked at by ur parts place, as i said in the other thread. they have parts books with like all the brake pads in them with real size diagrams to match them up with. that way u will get the right pads the first time, none of this guessing crap, as no one seems to be 100% sure at this point on here, although replicates suggestion of CA18det brakes seems to be the best bet. If u really get stuck i'll go find my old brake pads in the shed and get ya the part numbers, as mine also used to be the non turbo variants.

lol remachined the rotors on my cef a couple of months ago, so will be on the prowl for a new set as well. does anyone know for a fact (ie have you fitted them successfully) if S13/180sx rotors fit?

As for brake pads, take them out of the car, and go to a repco where they have the "big ol book of pads" and find a near match.

its pretty easy, take the caliper off (but not disconnect it) then change the pads and then put the caliper back on. You might need to get someone to pump the brakes to move the pots out n stuff tho. I did my brake pads in a couple of hours.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.

      As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
