Fact on compatibility of brake pad A32 & A33

[doraemon98]

I see,that means you bought it by bank in to PH auto and they post to you?
That is great! They send you the photo also?

Actually I bought it last month on my way to Melaka. He claim that A33 and A32 same mah... After find out it was different, but its compatible. He agree for mail return if not ngam. Have to bank in the difference to him for the exchange, and also courier charges.

Photo? Where they got time to do that? I did myself and post here.

You can ask him to quote you for mail purchase. This Mr. Beh 0122232126 is quite helpful. Unfortunately he dont sms. But only call him at night after office hours. He is a very busy man during the day. Almost no time to talk on phone. As you are acquiring Akebono which I am not sure PH auto do stock that brand. You need to pay for courier charges.

The 3L A32 is DB1308 similar to Mitsubitshi Triton 96-04 model. A32, B14, U13 rear are the same. I can't confirm if A33 is same have not seen before.

BTW, you'll can change to front 4 port skyline caliper and disc. Just need some small skim and mod only. You need a minimal 16" and correct offset rims.

I was using the 4 port Skyline GTS caliper and rotor in my A33.
Make sure you have all the O ring and oil seal changed before using it. Chop Shop might kept it too long and the piston in the caliper might be rusty and gives brake problem later.

After conversion, i was using Pumatec 550degree pads. If i remember correctly, it's about RM280.

Sorry la, the box throw already....bought the front only, believe the rear wan same price also.
The word of Hitachi is not punch-in like Hitachi nissan brake pad, is chop Hitachi Made in Japan,
4pcs of brake pad only one safety pin only...may be that why the price is cheaper than Hitachi Nissan....if u can find this brake pad at PJ area, may be lower than RM 140.

4 pcs of pad only got 1 pc has safety pin? Sounds like its for A32...

 

[weikee]

where got safety pin? are you referring to side pin? that one is wear indicator, when pad are coming to finish, it will make some noise.

It confirmed for A33, so my mechanic told me the brake pad with pin will put at brake cylinder side, normally the inside of the brake pad will wear faster than out side.
