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??

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
