Hey guys,

Does any one have any idea if the front callipers from a R33 GTS25t or R34 Gt-t will bolt onto the V35?

Being a 2005 Coupe, I don't have the Brembo's, and I though if they can bolt on, the 4 piston callipers from the older Skylines might be a nice cheap upgrade for both performance and looks.

Any thoughts?

Mate if u want to wait till next week ill be pulling the calipers off my 33 race car this weekend to stick on the 35.. ill let u know how it goes.

I'm not in any kind of rush so that sounds great. Someone actually doing it is much better than taking a guess. :-)

Any idea on what such a swap would do to the break balance of the car. In my case if all is good and I go ahead, would moving from 2 pistons up front to 4 pistons, mean I would need to correct soemthing in the rear?

I personally dont think it would overally effect it, i drove my 33 round with non turbo rear brakes for ages on the street and its still that way now that its a full drag car with no worries, but dont quote me.

wisshing i hadnt sold the twin pot rears now though :(

Oh and cheers for the heads up on those rims mate ill check em out.

The Brembos come up for sale on a regular basis, especially from Z33 owners going to a big brake kit.

I got mine for $2500 with calipers, rotors and OEM pads...and that was over a year ago. Price should have dropped since then. I've seen quite a few people selling just the front calipers as well, so its also an idea.

Ok had it up on the hoist today, fitting the new coilovers.. The fronts are only SINGLE PISTONS!! i couldnt beleive it... But it doesnt look like 33 calipers will fit just by a quick look... there is a thread on here somewhere saying that it is possibl to fit 34 GTR calipers?? i think... either way im now looking at the G4 8 piston kit with 330mm rotors for 2300 from a mob in melbourne i think.. but it doesnt help for the rears..?? im really at loss as i cant seem to find many 350z brembos about... and im guessing to purchase them with some decent rotors ud be reaching the cost of teh 8 piston kit anyway...

Yahoo! Japan auctions should have them coming up.

And, like I said, $2500 for used Z33 Brembos. If you were to buy a new BBK from anyone else other than G8 (not a big fan of their products, their QC is shit, and my brakes are a component I don't want to be using unreliable parts on) $2500 wouldn't get you front calipers or rotors for the Z. The stock rotors, also being Brembo, are quite "reasonable" from a performance perspective.

I called around before I bought the Brembos, and most front kits were $4K from the reputable manufacturers (AP Racing, Brembo, etc). Going BBK all round was up around $8K.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
