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.

ok guys i have found the pads that i am to use havent got the serial numbers but i went into my local auto shop an asked him to look it up an the a31 cefiro non turbo was in the book (i was like WTF) he then checked an he had them on the shelf so im pretty happy with that. But wat i now need to know has any1 changed ceffy brake pads before an if so is it an easy job or is it a bitch? Thanks guys

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.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
