Hi Ronin , can I assume Nissan used the same disk dimensionally on the Brembo 350Z rear as S2 R34GTR ?

I ask because if this is the case then the disks would be locally available and in std form not too bank breaking .

I ask because my R33 GTST will be up for pads and disks soon so I though why not a slight upgrade at the same time . Did Roy get the brackets made or at least work out the dimensions ?

Cheers A .

dave - I think it's the same bolt spacing and offset...

A - don't think he's had a chance to give it a crack yet... I made the assumption that the R34GTRS2 are the same as 350z to keep it simple for them at the factory. I actually have a set of 350z rotors in the garage in anticipation for the brackets :mellow:

I'll have a hunt around and see if anyone makes them eg in Japan

You're right - i think it would be an OK slight upgrade, also because I'll be going from std R32 rear (297mm??) to 322mm, and the car will have 355 APs on the front

Will keep you posted, cheers

I'm thinking along the lines of std GTS25T calipers all round but out on larger diametre disks of same or similar diametre (324 fronts) . My R33 has no ABS (swoon/cheer) and I'm hoping not to have brake bias problems .

Thoughts ?

Cheers Adrian .

Adrian,

Not sure that you'll be able to use the GTR size rotors on GTS25t calipers, because the rear caliper for brembo takes a 22mm thick rotor versus a 18mm thick rotor for the Sumitomo calipers...

I don't think the GTSt calipers have the bridge thickness to fit the 22mm rotor...

These guys do a 320mm x 20mm kit for the standard caliper that may work... but means you have to run their particular rotor.

I've sent them an email regarding the brackets for the GTR33 rear rotor -> 350z rear rotor conversion... hopefully their kit doesn't change the caliper offset - otherwise it will mean you have to use their particular rotor as well.

will keep you poseted to their reply.

cheers, marcus

Hmm , me thinks offseting the caliper 2mm inwards and using a 4mm spacer plate (assumes caliper is two piece) may work provided it had a reliable hydraulic seal .

Cheers A .

I have seen people space an AP5555 caliper in this way to get a wider rotor... in theory should be ok to do, but I haven't seen anything wider than 2mm fillets - I think RaceBrakes Melbourne have done it before.

I haven't seen the inside of a 2 piece caliper, but it may have a crush male/female or cone section join for the interface between the two sides... pull one apart and let us know :D

cheers

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
