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.

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
