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

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 :)

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
