Wtf Skyline Pads Wont Fint On My Skyline?

[DaveGTS4]

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

Or just take your old pads to a brake place/autoparts supplier and get them to identify correct part #?

[DaveGTS4]

cant do that this is my primary source of transport im tihnking mby that it has the turbo calipers on it??

is that possible?

[jeffworld2]

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,

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

[DaveGTS4]

well my front are two piston and no one can decypher what the dam pad is

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??
