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.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
