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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
