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

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
