The GTR R33 original Brake pad cost $1800 ???? I don't think it make sense at all when a set of original Brembo doesn't even cost that much. Apperantly nissan didn't use Brembo pad for the std brake pad, instead they used a brand call AKIBONO Part #AP50HFF

Does anyone out there have a solution to solve this problem, what other brand brake pad can be used for compliancing other than AKIBONO which cost ridiculously. EBC and BREMBO are definately does not meet the requirement! Please give me the part# as well.

if you can give me the chassis number for the car, and preferably the brake pad nissan part number I can check the price in japan and may be able to help you out with this.

In regards to the compliancing issue, basically it all depends on the evidence held by the RAW, so basically whatever the RAW says goes.

The ADR in relation to the brakes is ADR31, and basically it says that you can use the manufacturers brakes or brakes that have been tested to comply with ADR31, which is a very costly exercise which leaves most RAWS with only the option of using manufacturers brakes.

That takes place if your used pads are not roadworthy.

Thank you for the information, so what brakes do you guys use?

As Skyline33 said it depends on whatever your RAWS (workshop) had approved for compliance. You can only use the brands your workshop requires, not any alternatives. So if you need AKIBONO pads, unfortunately there is no way around that.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      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.
