Hi all Im after some advice on some break pads, ive tried doin a search but want ppls opinions who have done this in Adelaide. Im pulling 200+rkw and im not sure what to do, Im thinking the following:

Get my rear rotors machined (fronts don't need em) and buy EBC Green Stuff Pads front and Rear

Buy EBC Green Stuff pads for front, and Bendix Ultimate/Advance for the rear as Ive been told rear pads arent as important.

I dont want change my rotors untill they are too thin.Im looking at getting a power fc but not anytime soon and then (along with my existing mods) should be pulling at least 230-240rwkw, what are ppl sith similar power using and where to buy em/how much, any advice much appreciated......

Race Brakes RB74 (I think) are excellent pads. They chew away your rotors quite are bit but are an excellent pad. Bendix ultimates are a good cheap pad as well. Both dust heaps, but for the money EBC greenstuffs are not worth it!

Hey all, im thinking of upgrading my GF's R31 GTS Jap Spec's brakes. has anyone done this before with a simple conversion to either R33 or R32 gtst callipers. I think i want to keep the 4 stud pattern ( to stay away from regency ), and only upgrading the callipers.

can someone give me the details of what i need to do for this conversion

thanks i advanced

P.S. does anyone have a good contact for new rear rotors ?.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
