Brake pads for Skyline V36 sedan

Ive spent a few days on here trying to work out part numbers and what pads to get for our 2007 Skyline v36 sedan type S.

 

I thought this would be simples as the type S and the SP have bigger brakes than the type P, but there are different types of model numbers and different info out on the net...

 

Any advice or info ?

 

Ive attached a few pics, I didn't really want the hassle of jacking the car up, pulling the pads out to take photos of them and then putting them back in with the old pads. First photo is front, other two is rear

Those calipers don't look like a type S at all. Then again, my knowledge of anything pre-2009 is very limited.

 

some websites say 06-08, then 09-onwards are different

Some sites say V35 non brembo and v36 pads are the same.

Some say suit most PV36 and some KV36.

All very confusing

The early sedan's have large single pot front calipers running a 330x32mm rather than the expected twin pot caliper on a 320x28mm disc.

This means different front discs and pads.

The rear discs are also different sizes, bigger on the old cars, but seem to be the same pads... I have attached some data from the Infiniti service manuals.

Give Brakes Direct a call, they have pads for both fronts, but currently only the smaller front discs.

I just bought some for my Coupe today.

I found this thread which i used to find some

 

Fingers crossed they fit my my car.

I've had trouble finding the right ones.

No Brembo's on a V36.....

However, depending on which year model, can often be confused with the 370Z, which is specified to have Brembo. For example, the DBA 4000-series discs I bought for my 2009 V36 are tagged as being suitable for the Brembo-equipped 370Z.

With all these terms being thrown about, it's no wonder people get confused. I can appreciate that.

Safest thing I would suggest to Mr. R377 is to measure those discs and use that as a point of reference for which pad he needs. That's how I determined mine. Measured, looked them up in the workshop manual and then ran from there.

Thanks for that link - those pads look the same as mine.  Maybe the 2006 and 2007 brakes are different to the 2008 brake pads.  It makes it hard looking online in australia as soon as I put in 2007 skyline, it automatically selects the V35 and not the V36 skyline.

 

 

 

Here are pics of my pads and brakes.  Discs / rotors are 330mm by 32mm thick.

For reference our car is 2007 Skyline type S. From what i believe it is an type S as it has cloth interior, no reversing camera/sat nav, has the bigger brakes with the 18" wheels.

The type S and SP share the same bigger brakes with the 18 inch wheels.  The type P has smaller brakes with 17" wheels.  The type P has the all leather interior and BOSE stereo I think ? I think maybe the suspension is different on the type P vs the type S and type SP. The P and SP both have leather interior with heated seats, while the S gets the cloth interior.

Thanks for the info Hung, those EBC reds look the same as mine.  Have you got any photos of the actual pads out of the box ? (just so i can be 100% sure before ordering)  Where did you buy the EBC from please ?

I forgot to add, the pads are from Intima brakes, a few guys on this forum run Intima brake pads.

From what I have seen the 1509 rear brake pads are quite common and universal, the main problem us Skyline owners have is getting the front pads correct.  I don't know if the front pads listed from Intima are for a coupe, or 2008 onwards sedan, or even a type P sedan ?

Thanks qdhung for the info.  I thought i would just double check with EBC directly

Those front EBC brake pads are DP31807C 

The front rotors are D7459 (RK7459 in USA)  from EBC

From what i think the brakes from v36 sedan 2006 to late 2008 are what me and qdhung have, I think in late 2008 the v36 skyline sedan then went to the 3.7L with 7 spd auto.  I am guessing they changed the brakes then to the Akebono  calipers ?

These are the two brakes that were fitted on the V36 sedans from factory. The 3.5 and earlier 3.7 to at least 2009 MY (my car) run the 330 mm disc and single piston calipers. The later cars, maybe from 2010 when they had the facelift and proper foglights, got the 320 mm disc and 2 piston calipers.

No Akebonos from factory on the V36 sedans.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
