The 350Z disc cannot be used on the Skyline because of the different hat heights, the 324mm Skyline disc must be used and I understand that the two calipers use different size mounting bolts.

So assuming these are the only differences (to the best of my knowledge) then fitting 350Z calipers would not be an insurmountable task (in conjunction with the GTR33/34 disc) but unless you could pick up the 350 calipers at a bargain price I would suggest using the GTR calipers and saving yourself the hassle

the 350z/ v35 skyline ones use a m14 bolt to mount them where as 33/34 gtr uses a m12.

and ther offset of the skyline ones is off by about 3-4mm.

i tried fitting 33/34 brembos on a v35 and the bolts went big enough and the caliper rubbed on the outer face of the disc :

hope that helps.

ps... you can bolt them up but youd need the matching discs with the calipers.

Thanks guys, thats helpful. I'm interested because a company in the US called RacingBrake has released a 6 pot caliper/adapter/disc/pad set for the 350Z/G35 that's about AUD 2500.

Being the US they don't have access to GTRs like we do so I thought I'd see if anyone knew if they were compatible.

I think this all got answered, but like t04 said the only difference is the thread on the bolts. Just match calipers to discs and it should be fine. I just never got around to getting bolts the right length

Bit of an old thread bump.

Just want to confirm what I am reading.

If you got a complete front aftermarket brake kit with calipers, rotors and brackets made for the G35/350Z, it would bolt onto a R32/R33 Skyline if you had the brackets have M14 holes on one end for the caliper and M12 holes on the other end to bolt onto the hub correct?

hmmm, interesting.

looking for the same answers for the same reasons...

so, to sumerise, get a complete kit, and it should fit..

is that it?

might have to take the plunge, and try for myself.

if i do, will put up a write up.

Im running r34 brembos on the front of my Stagea which is the same as a v35/350z in the brake department. The offset may be different but other than that they are the same calliper. Just make sure you get the disks from the model the callipers are from.

I have a spare front seal kit for these these brembos if anyone needs one.

How similar are the Brembo brakes that came on 350Z's and R33 / R34's?

In the front they both run DB1520 pads and the rears run DB1521 - so if the pads are the same they they must be very similar.

The difference seems to be in the disk offset as shown in the attached link http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=41147

So the big question is:

Are the seal kits interchangeable as you can buy factory kits for 350Z's from the US for a very good price?

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
