Hey Linton

I took my Project Mu brake pads out of my R32 GTR calipers (same as R33 GTST) and put them in my mates WRX no problem at all.

I have also had some pads in mine from a R32 GTST.

Also Mazda RX7 4 pots the same.

They all use the same Sumitomo caliper. They look and mount a bit diffrent but there all the same and all take the same pads.

Hope ive helped :)

i'm sorry, you're right.

From 1968 until 1999, Fuji Heavy Industries was 20% owned by Nissan. After Renault bought Nissan, they sold their share of Fuji to GM.

regardless, parts are shared.

All good man wasn't having a dig at you or anything just wanted to point that out.

Found it really interesting to know that items were shared between Subaru and Nissan. Now days i wouldn't be surprised in Toyota and Subaru share a fair few parts especially since they are making that new FT-86 together.

thanks chaps.. the rear pads are different... scoobs have the normal style 2 piece caliper as opposed to the nissan one piece one... but the fronts are the same.. which makes me wonder why can pads be different prices.. if they are the same pad.

Didn't Toyota buy GM's share of FHI?

"GM announced on October 6, 2005 that it will sell 8.4% of the company to Toyota and disposed of its remaining share.

On April 10, 2008, Toyota increased its stake in FHI to 16.7% and announced the end of minicar production at its facility in Gunma Prefecture.

Daihatsu, a subsidiary of Toyota, will instead supply the cars to FHI."

Yep, all correct except for the bit about the RX7 4 pot, which is miles smaller than the Sumitomo found on WRX/Skylines, and doesn't use the same pads.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/

      Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks

      All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
