hey fellas first off nice site lots of usefull info here

now to my problem.

my front pads are low and i thought argh what the heck ill get new ones so i went to autobarn and asked for skyline pads and got some ferodo excel's got home and tried to put them in and

OMG

they dont fit there too small the pads in it now is atleast 1-2cm taller then i realised after seing another skyline at work that mine was a 4 stud and his was a 5 stud.

now the previous owner said that he imported it like this so im thinking that the japenese owner changed the brakes but to what any one have any ideas?

thankyou

is it currently 4 or 5 stud? if 4, you have standard 4 door equipment which is different to the coupe. if 5, it could pretty much be anything.

also check for a code on the old pads eg. db1170 is a turbo r33s front brakes and it is often printed on the back of the pads

According to the Bendix website,

http://www.bendix.com.au/ProductCatalogue....;FromHomePage=1

a non-turbo R33 takes DB1165 pads up front.

Yep, if its a 4 stud skyline it'll take DB1165. I'd be taking this opportunity to get some better pads than Ferodo Excels...

my 32 has brakes that are realy messed up, its all factory gear as far as i can tell, its a 5 stud factory gtst yet it has single piston brakes, the pads for the front are off a silvia, the front rotors are off a diffrent silvia, the rear pads are from another silvia again, all non skyline, and then the rear rotors are off a skyline, that you cant actualy buy the rear rotors anywhere anymore, rda was the only place to make them then they discontinued them, so im upgrading the 4 piston front 2 piston rear breaks

Grab the Bendix book or jump on their website and start searching.

They have profiles of all their pads so you simply need to sit yours on the picture and see if its the same.

As soon as you find one the same shape and size your on a winner, buy a set and go home and fit them.

I fail to see why people have so much hassle with this sorta stuff, all the info is there in the brake books but then he did say he went to Autobarn...

you have a non turbo skyline. four doors can have 5 stud, its all non turbo's that have that feature. Your car is a gts-4 so your brakes are defiantly different and when you go to Autobahn there just going to think its the braking system for a gtst or gts.

If you would like i could look up the part number on the work computer on saturday for bendix brake pads for a gts-4, i have one so i was going to look at the pads i need anyway as there going soon. do you have ABS you also be another question??

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
