The crunching has begun, need new brake pads.

Now... I have no idea where I can get Cefiro ones from. I looked at the interchangeable parts list, and is the 03' maxima the only one that fits? Seems like a bit of a jump in years for them to be the same... Are these better then any other pad for the stock brakes? Hate to ask so many questions but I dont really wanna go cheap on something that will make me stop. lol...

Thanks...

Adam. :)

ok here's what you do

1) take the brake pad out

2) take the pads to a shop like auto1

3) tell them to find the part in their books

4) buy that brake pad (this step is very important)

5) put the new brake pad in

6) put car back together

Pads are fine...

Could it be the tyres thats on it now? Only seems to scrape when im braking and turning sharply... Doesnt make sense to me. :banana:

well

ok seeing as i'm basically just giving you the shits so far... i might as well give you some personal advice

judging by your car in the pic

it's safe to say that it's low.. too low for anything useful

i'm also assuming you have some sort of s13 suspension in the car, these give a softer springrate than standard a31 items

i can also see that the wheel and tyre combo you're using is very wide tyres, under hard braking this can grind or rub on your suspension struts, or your guards when you turn

perhaps a skinnier tyre with less track would be more suitable?

also raising your car a bit would do wonders

the best idea however is to take it to a professional for a full diagnosis

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
