I hope someone out there can help me. I've got a '93 R33 GTS25 which need new front pads. I'm looking at EBC pads and can't find the actual size I need. EBC have two sizes listed; DP1082 and 1046 but without pulling my old ones out and physically measuring them they can't tell me what I need. My car is not the 'S type' and is still bog standard brake wise. If anyone has replaced their front pads in a '93 and can remember the product code and brand I might be able to match them up. Thanks.

As far as I'm aware all the R33 non turbos have the same brakes, but I'm not 100% sure though.

I have a R33 GTS25 non type s and my brakes are 155mm long from tip to tip and have a width of 50mm.

So I hope thats of some help.

sorry for offtopic: but what exactly is the S type?

Repco or Autobarn wud usually have a book on the fitment wudnt they?

Type S, has a few standard extras, LSD, an extra few kw at the fly wheel, a different rear muffler, and a rear sway bar, well my friends one has anyway, and maybe a couple of extra things I have over looked.

Thanks everyone. The difference between the two pads I've been quoted on is minimal, both sets are 155 mm long and 17 mm, the width varies. One set is 53 mm wide the other is 49 mm. I know its only a small variation and the pads themselves are the same profile other than the width, just needed to know what difference it would make.

I guess the thicker ones wud clamp reasonably earlier than the thinner ones.

In the end they'd wear down anyway - so I'd say if the thicker ones fit then go for them, you'd

get more life out of them as well i am assuming.

skyla: thnx, I guess I "might" have a type S - stock exhaust has a little flap thing which I am curious about.

Yeah it sounds like it, my mates one also has hicas, and red badges on the front guard insted of blue like mine

That little flap is meant to be attached to a cable to allow u to open up the exhaust fulli. Its meant to open up at high revs and then close againt at lower revs for a more quieter note. Im yet to find a car that actualli has that cable but me and my dad were thinkin of somehow creatin a mechanism that opens up that second exhaust route at high revs to give a much better sound. In the end we couldnt be bothered so i just slapped a magna flow on instead.

Got the flap, the cable and the actuator on mine. Actuator is located inside the LH rear gaurd, below/in front of where the jack lives. Not sure what RPM level it activates at - I think I read > 4000 rpm somewhere?

yeah, i have it on mine also - when i chnaged to a 2.5" system i just left the cable in place where it once was and zip tied it outta the way - lol

and i don't know if my HICAS is locked - i am yet to see the light conme one (except when starting car of course) i assume it's locked - how cna i tell?

And about the LSD - when i do a burnout i get both wheels smoking :rant: but whats an official way to determine if your has it?

yup mine has the cable to open the flap too - I have yet to see it open though (cos I'm always

driving when it opens up I guess :rant:)

gatty: You can tell that your hicas is locked or not by doing a diagnostic (do a search), you can actually see the rear wheels move when your stationary.

Or when you drive, particularly around a roundabout, you can feel the rear end of the

car running sideways, it feels sort of drifty but obviously not on such an angle.

OR you cud just check under the car. :rant:

Dont quote me on any of this :) but from what I gather...

An LSD (limited slip diff) will let both wheels spin at different speeds, but it will just limit the amount of difference between them. So basically when you go around a corner, the

inside wheel will spin slower as it has less distance to travel.

I dont think a burnout is the correct way to determine that both wheels are spinning at

the same speeds. But if your wheels are spinning at the same speeds around a corner

(its most probably a locked diff) the inside wheel will chirp.

This is good for dragging, drifting and other straight line stuff ( I am not sure what is

appropiate for track work) But for street use the stcok LSD shud be fine.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
