I thought it was about normal for race pads; after all it costs less than a single semi slick :( racing aint cheap, even when you are trying to do it cheap.

I'd guess anyone that sells those kits could probably source the pads, but Just Jap might be the only ones who actually have them in stock.

I can afford the pads, but it seems a bit ridiculous that the ATTKD pads from China are MORE expensive then the big name brands like Ferodo etc.

Who else sells these kits?

Could always send gsl or motorsport brakes your pad shape and they will make you a pad that fits with whatever pad brand/material you like

I know project mu can do it

This is what I'd be doing. I've seen those chingchong calipers around a fair bit, so, getting some pads into market wouldn't be a bad thing.

umm the pads are the same as the AP 6 piston calipers so pads are readily available from most brands - they just aren't cheap!

^ exactly this.

It's not something custom to China... It's China copying everyone else (well, taiwan in this case) :D

Project Mu probably already have something on the shelf just like any other brand, no need to custom made this/that

The A1RM part number for the 330mm kit (which i believe uses the same pads as the 356 kit) is QDB 1933, which i guess is QFM using Bendix naming which would be DB 1933, and a bit of the googles gives;

HSV Aftermarket Up-grade, VE / VZ Series, AP 6 piston Caliper & Harrop 6 piston Caliper, Clubsport, Maloo, Senator, Grange, GTS & GTO - 06 on & 05-06 Front DB1933

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
