i wouldnt bet my life on it but i dare say 99.999% sure they are same as r33 brembo brakes. definately not the same as r34 ones unless they have same pads but different colour calipers.

double check first to be 100% sure :)

The reason why i want to know is when during compliance if the pads need replacing due to wear. They might use a genuine pads!!! OMFG!! how stupid any one can confirm this? I ant to use an AFM ones cos the cost less ETC

i think for a set of 4s genuine brembo pads are close to 1k compared to the AFM ones for 500 bucks!!

So its safe to say you called nissan spare parts and asked them exactly what you are asking us? And they couldnt give you an answer right?

260RS pads (even ones made up until 99-07) are the same as R33 GTR pads, which are not the same as R34 or R32 GTR pads as far as part numbers/supersession chains go.

Look at the big picture, $1000 doesnt put a dent in a $40,000 car

Also, for your information, the engine they used in the 260RS was always an R33 built engine. Even though they stopped using that engine in the R33's in 1997.12, it stuck with stageas up until 99.07.

So the "S2" 260rs were mearly a "face lift" model, same running/workings.

Well i canlled the nissan and the guy i spoke too didnt have a clue what i was talking about probably a noob.

As for 1k doesnt put a dent on a 40k car you are wrong. Every dollars count thats why i have been put in the purchasing in the company.

1k here $500 there $200 here ETC it adds up buddy :)

I think we all need to educate our local nissan dealer in stageas. i've slowly been moulding my local and now when i rock up he says "what obscure part are we after this time?" he has no problems getting me parts, it just takes him a little bit to get the part number. he gets a bit confused when i just show up and ask for a part and give him the number. must be too ignorant to know other people might have FAST by now.

it's great, but at least i don't have the hassle of:

"nissan don't make a station wagon, you must mean a skyline if it's an import"

come on alex the commment on $1000 for brake pads not being much on a $40k car is pretty wrong. i would have dropped dead if i got my brembo calipers and found i needed pads and they are $1000 and ive spent double the price of an autech stagea on mine. :P

as stasis said the money is better off going towards other stuff.

$1000 is bullshit, i'll be buying aftermarket once my set is worn away.

my nissan dealer is pretty good, they dont mind letting ya go in the office and help them find parts on the FAST program as 99% of the time they dont have a clue what u are after hehe

Well Terminal i dont have FAST as a reference. And i dont have the luxury to live in the city im in the middle of nowehre in Toollen. So peoples knowledge from there are very limited. Thats why im asking my questions on the forum.

Yeh yeh, i know about 1k brake pads is crazy, but these cars will suck your money if you like it or not.

On exhausts ONLY, ive spent about 3k....yep....crazy ey....

yea i did take a look found and bought a set of dump (Hks) and front pipe(Hks for competition use) and BeeR cat. The only thing i cant found is the exhaust system specifically for the 260rs. Im estimating i will spend no more than 1.2k for the whole thing. so..

I mean thats the only mod im gonna do now have to wait for about a yr to make my money back on the money spent on getting the car first.

Tgeres a guy who approached me by the name of Allen though hes an aussie living in Japan. Hes looking for me an echaust used at least 3.5" piping. I hope i will hear from him soon.

    • Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.
    • Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.
    • Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.
