Ezy03, I have the same problem - can't tell which. If you measure just the pad it's ~137mm, but if you include the tags on either side it's about 157mm. If you look at the shape of the pad, it's similar to the wider design (157mm), but there's a bronze plate it's secured with that is the shape of the smaller design (137mm). Arrgghh! pinch.gif

Let me know if you find out. I don't need 'em yet, but I will sometime...

i did realise in the pics they sent me that the 137 is clean from the top and the 157 has a ditch sort of thing in the middle (at the top) and two ditches at the bottom (left and right) and the 137 has a ditch in the middle at the bottom.

ill try to measure the length and then see which one has the ditches *if they are noticable)

I'm in need of new pads, and more than likely rotors for the rear at least. Has anyone dealt with these guys before?

Also, what's the advantage/disadvantage of cross-drilling and/or slots on the rotors? I presume cooling is one of them ....

That's what I was going to do next, enquire about shipping, as I didn't know how heavy they'd be... thanks for the tip!

Has anyone tried EBC Redstuff? I used to use them on my J30 Maxima (after coming to the realisation that the Greenstuff just didn't last with my spirited driving). Of course, I didn't have as wide a selection to choose from with that car so I'd be interested to know with the greater choices for the V35/36's what people's findings are.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
