Hey dyken,

I got canaried last week (pop-tart) and had to get a full RWC to get it cleared. Anyway, my front pads were due for replacement, yet there was no listing in the Bendix catalogue for them at all. Ended up taking it to my mechanics who rang their brake supplier, got replacement pads, apparently for a Maxima.

Anyway, they fitted perfectly, got the defect cleared and all good!

awesome lol. i have pads which are useless to me

Bendix didn't have what I needed... mechanic's brake supplier recommended MaxiStop DB8382's... fit perfectly... mechanic reckons they'll be fine (though apparently a relatively soft pad so probably wont last forever... better than chewing out the rotor though!) for my usage (predominantly a daily-driver with the occasional bit of 'spirited' driving :nyaanyaa:

hey people,

Just changed my brake pads today on my R33.

And i purchased my pads from Autobahn and got Brakes Plus to fit them. Autobahn was a shit load cheaper than any other place, i paid $120 for all 4 pads.

Anyways back to the dilemma, i also purchased the bendix DB1165CT pads and took them to the guy fitting them. We compared the old and new pads and the new ones were alot smaller. So we found out that the right pads were the DB 1308.

We looked at the Bendix book and it had Db1165CT for non-turbo R33, i think they have the wrong information hence why alot of people have been given wrong pads.

So for other people that are looking at changing their pads on their NA R33, the right part numbers are DB1144 and DB1308

I also suggest shopping around for pads, Repco qouted me $160 for front and rear, Brakes Plus $120 just for the DB1308, but Autobahn was the way to go, $120 for both front and rear, including refunding the

DB 1165 to DB 1308 without questions.

      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.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
