Ok so I need to change the brake pads.

Mitch says they are different to his so we are asking here on what to do...

Anyone done a change?

either the pads slide out when u remove the circlips holding them in or if they are the old style ones u need to unbolt the calipers (2 bolts, 17mm i think from memory) and pull caliper off and pull pads out and get a G-Clamp to press the piston back in enough for the thickness of the new pads so they can slip over the rotor, then install new pads :P

pretty easy task, should take about an hour for first timers :)

do you have normal brakes, gtr brakes or what?

98% of nissan brakes have two pins you poke out,Make sure that you dont leave the silver clip in the middle. you need that

and the pads come out of the top. then push the piston back into the caliper and drop your new pads in

should take all of 10 minutes a side even jacking and taking wheel off

Uber easy!!!

let us know if you have a problem though!

You should only have to remove one of the bolts holding the caliper in, and it's best and easiest to remove the bottom one. You might want to slightly loosen the top bolt so you can "swing" the caliper up. Then, swing the caliper up and "over" the disk, pull the old pads, then compress the pistons back into the caliper (using a G-clamp and one of the old brake pads). After that, replace the old pads with the new ones - and don't forget the backing plates, that should stop your brakes from squealing. Once you've done that, lower the caliper back down over the new pads, and replace and tighten the bolt(s)...

Done!

(BTW, I just nutted this out from memory, so it's not a comprehensive DIY, but it's not a hard job either. There are quite a few cars where the process goes like this, and the technique is pretty much the same.)

put some r33 gtst or r32 gtr calipers and rotors on it, its definately needed if u do any spirited driving as the stock brakes are horrible and with automatic u cant use the gears to slow u down either :happy:

Stupid question time - are they a bolt on fit?

If so, it will be my next mod!!

yes they are :happy: i think only issue is the rotor dust shield needs a touch trimed off it to clear the bigger calipers. u need the r33 calipers and the r33 rotors to suit (297mm i think from memory). r32 gtr also fit as do the 33 brembos and 34 ones.

gotta love nissan and the number of interchangable parts between models :happy:

ok so can't find a place that stock the brake pads SK has recommended...

1398BP & 1144XL :happy:

Now what? :happy:

bendix advance db 1398 will fit on the front of s1 stagea [still a chance some came with diff calipers] best to drop 1 out and trace it or if your cashed up do what the guys say and swap the lot. just changed my pads and they still dont stop.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
