hey fellas first off nice site lots of usefull info here

now to my problem.

my front pads are low and i thought argh what the heck ill get new ones so i went to autobarn and asked for skyline pads and got some ferodo excel's got home and tried to put them in and

OMG

they dont fit there too small the pads in it now is atleast 1-2cm taller then i realised after seing another skyline at work that mine was a 4 stud and his was a 5 stud.

now the previous owner said that he imported it like this so im thinking that the japenese owner changed the brakes but to what any one have any ideas?

thankyou

is it currently 4 or 5 stud? if 4, you have standard 4 door equipment which is different to the coupe. if 5, it could pretty much be anything.

also check for a code on the old pads eg. db1170 is a turbo r33s front brakes and it is often printed on the back of the pads

According to the Bendix website,

http://www.bendix.com.au/ProductCatalogue....;FromHomePage=1

a non-turbo R33 takes DB1165 pads up front.

Yep, if its a 4 stud skyline it'll take DB1165. I'd be taking this opportunity to get some better pads than Ferodo Excels...

my 32 has brakes that are realy messed up, its all factory gear as far as i can tell, its a 5 stud factory gtst yet it has single piston brakes, the pads for the front are off a silvia, the front rotors are off a diffrent silvia, the rear pads are from another silvia again, all non skyline, and then the rear rotors are off a skyline, that you cant actualy buy the rear rotors anywhere anymore, rda was the only place to make them then they discontinued them, so im upgrading the 4 piston front 2 piston rear breaks

Grab the Bendix book or jump on their website and start searching.

They have profiles of all their pads so you simply need to sit yours on the picture and see if its the same.

As soon as you find one the same shape and size your on a winner, buy a set and go home and fit them.

I fail to see why people have so much hassle with this sorta stuff, all the info is there in the brake books but then he did say he went to Autobarn...

you have a non turbo skyline. four doors can have 5 stud, its all non turbo's that have that feature. Your car is a gts-4 so your brakes are defiantly different and when you go to Autobahn there just going to think its the braking system for a gtst or gts.

If you would like i could look up the part number on the work computer on saturday for bendix brake pads for a gts-4, i have one so i was going to look at the pads i need anyway as there going soon. do you have ABS you also be another question??

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
