If you want to use bendix ultimate, be prepared to be cleaning them rims alot. main complaint is that they leave a lot of brake dust, and also chew through rotors like there's no tomorrow. but they are good cheap race pad, which counts for something.

Other common pad is rb74 (www.racebrakes.com.au)

However, if u r never going to the track, then just use any old crap, just go to brakesplus or something and get what they recommend, they should be able to figure out which ones to get for a '33

for most r32 and r33 skylines, pads are db1170 on front, and db1220s on rear. but I can't confirm that for sure, coz i don't own an r33, and if you have brembo's they're different.

I've used the standard OEM brakes, bendix advance, bendix ultimates, and racebrakes RB74...

The RB74's had the best stopping power, but were crap when cold. Also, I couldn't get them to stop squeeking.

The Ultimates come second in stopping power, but first for street use in my opinion. Yes they do leave a lot of dust, but the RB74's will chew through your rotors quicker.

The bendix advance pads are good too. Cant remember how dust was, ultimates feel a little better.

standard oem pads are crap.

Just get the Ultimates, they are very good for street use, and spirited driving.

Search the forums for the part number, it is listed SEVERAL times...

I'm currently using standard Nissan pads in my 33 just for around town. They pull up fine, don't squeel and no brake dust at all.

For track I use RB74's (which didn't squeel for me around town but did after I did a trackday).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
