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.

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
