nah mate, rear brakes are different,

Are you running sindle or twin piston calipers rear mate?

twin piston are R32

Single piston, last time i needed a set i took one of my pads into the local brake joint and they matched it up in their book.they were maxima ones or something like that.

Front brakes are SR turbo ones

This is where different models become confusing. Was yours a 20DE or 20E originally ?

I know that with my Maxima and other Nissans, that they received discs at the rears if it was ABS model, if it was turbo, etc.

Australian model Maxima's have never been released with drum brakes, we've always had discs all round as standard here, but imports are different obviously.

Assuming the Cefiro was released in a similar fashion I'd say it depends on weather it was factory ABS, turbo, and/or how brakes were changed if it was converted to turbo later on.

+ As far as i Remember, didn't they all have single piston brakes all round anyway?

You said twin pistons the same as R32s ... even the turbo models had single piston, even at the fronts.

I'll have a look at my trusty sales brochures I got from Japan when I get home.

Autech Editions might have used different calipers to match their turbo's and shit, dunno.

just been through the same shit, silvia pads are waaay different, got a bendix book at work, the exact match in shape is the db1144 but after buying them i found out the pad material is too thick, wouldnt let the caliper sit back in place, so would ask for the the thinner version(if possible) of those pads and go from there

they were matched to skyline 33 gts rear pads, but obviously the got a wider caliper for thicker pads

go here http://www.bendix.com.au/ProductCatalogue.aspx and select

nissan

skyline

1993-1999; r33(import) non turbo

theres a listing for ceffys but only for fronts and theres no pic

I hope I'm not insulting your intelligence here, but did you make sure to spread the pistons in the caliper with one of those tools?

Otherwise, I'd say GTS (non turbo) skylines sound like the correct pad considering they have drum brakes.

:P my bad. Now I get ya. What's that got to do with pads though ?

Aren't the handbrake setups the same as R32s and its just the cable which is different ?

OP, if you have too much trouble finding a fitting pad, it's a good excuse to just upgrade to something bigger and more common.

The skyline/cefiro/laurel rear brakes have disc brakes with an internal drum (handbrake).

The S13/14/15 have regular disc brakes with cable operation on the calipers for the handbrake.

The difference is the size and shape of the caliper has to be different to accommodate the change in shape of the rotors.

If the caliper is a different size/shape then obviously the pads will be different too.

What would be the best upgrade for the ceffy rear if I was going 5 stud and to retain the disk/drum combo? 33 or...

Also would the handbrake cable need to be changed?

Sorry to hijack the thread :)

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
