The crunching has begun, need new brake pads.

Now... I have no idea where I can get Cefiro ones from. I looked at the interchangeable parts list, and is the 03' maxima the only one that fits? Seems like a bit of a jump in years for them to be the same... Are these better then any other pad for the stock brakes? Hate to ask so many questions but I dont really wanna go cheap on something that will make me stop. lol...

Thanks...

Adam. :)

ok here's what you do

1) take the brake pad out

2) take the pads to a shop like auto1

3) tell them to find the part in their books

4) buy that brake pad (this step is very important)

5) put the new brake pad in

6) put car back together

well

ok seeing as i'm basically just giving you the shits so far... i might as well give you some personal advice

judging by your car in the pic

it's safe to say that it's low.. too low for anything useful

i'm also assuming you have some sort of s13 suspension in the car, these give a softer springrate than standard a31 items

i can also see that the wheel and tyre combo you're using is very wide tyres, under hard braking this can grind or rub on your suspension struts, or your guards when you turn

perhaps a skinnier tyre with less track would be more suitable?

also raising your car a bit would do wonders

the best idea however is to take it to a professional for a full diagnosis

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
