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.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
