Ok I was changing my brake pads in my s1 r33 non turbo and I find out that my front brakes are actually from a maxima any reason why someone would put them on a skyline???

Also I was having a really bad power lose going over bumps (or when shutting car door lol) find out that it's one of the ecu wires have been cut and join back together with 2 pieces of wire any reason why someone would cut the wire in the first place???

Thanks

since the car is a non turbo i'd just assume that the front brakes just happen to be the same as those of a maxima, but i don't really know for sure.

as for the cut wire, i'd say they may have had something hooked up to the ecu that required the wire to be cut, or possibly they have cut the wire to disable the speed limiter. you'd need to work out which wire was cut to see what it could've been cut for.

well when i went to buy new pads i took the old ones with me and check with 2 different stock brakes for the r33 and there was no way id get either into the caliper! 1 was more of a square shape and the other was the same but way too short while the maximas was long and thin (banana shaped). the calipers i have are 2 pistons i dont know about the r33 and if thats different

i was thinking it may of been a kill switch cause it everytime it would sound like it was struggling with fuel but im not sure.

and birds i ment when i was parked and i shut the door that it would stall lol :happy:

do you happen to know the part number of the pads you got?

and i was just looking on the bendix website and the brake pad size between the twin piston maxima pads and the twin piston non turbo r33 pads is only very small. and both the maxima pads and the non turbo r33 pads are bigger than those of the turbo skylines because of the less powerful caliper.

here are pics of the maxima pad

the r33 non turbo pad

and the r33 turbo as well as r32, 33 and 34 gtr caliper (non brembo)

For R34 non-turbo (excluding GT-V)

I'd imagine R33 non-turbo is the same - but best double check.

Front DB 1308 (same as Mitsubishi Triton ute, Nissan Maxima A32, A33)

Rear DB 1144 (same as Nissan Maxima)

Calipers between the maxima and skyline are different - but the pads are the same.

Maxima (front) seems to be larger single pot caliper - but the Skyline (non-turbo front) has 2 smaller twin pot caliper.

Rear calipers are the same.

the j30 maxima run twin piston front calipers. it uses the DB1232 pads i posted the pic of.

and the bendix website (where i got those pics from) has the r33 non turbo listed as DB1165 pads. but the pads are that close in size and shape it doesn't matter too much

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
