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.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
