Further to that does anyone have a Technical drawing of the R32 rear caliper with measurements and the like?

pads are the same, different rotors (thickness and diameter)

well got the pads and chucked them in yesterday. was my first time changing pads since i have owned the car. fuck it was easy haha. but i do have a question.

with the pads two of them had metal "indicators" so when u get low they scrape on the rotor. just wanetd to know what side they go on ie, one on each side and slot closest to rim. or both on one side (doubt it). would of gone off what was allready in there but the person before had two of the pads with indicators on one side and the other side was just normal ones. so i was unsure.

at the moment i have the indicator pads on the outside so closest to the rim

cheers.

Can confirm they're the same, my RB74's were marked 300ZX and went into my R32 four spotters fine.

Doesnt really matter with a 4 pot skitzo,

if you were doing them on single pot calipers you put them on the inside as thats where they wear quicker.

Yep generally indicators always go on the inside but it doent matter if youre the type of person that checks your pads every now and then...

Indicators go on the inside; can see the outside pad; not so easy the inside!

No, its not; but most people generally don't remove wheels often let alone see at what state their brake pads are in!

hence me saying "it doesnt matter if youre the type of person who checks their brakes every now and then"
