Finally found some time to put my brakes on. Big thanks to Scotty for fabricating the spacers - they worked a treat Removed the restrictor as directed, but the line wouldn't fit oddly.. so still h

Yes there is no need if u do that. My logic was the original m35 calipers that the factory banjos screw into don't have an olive and the lines aren't designed to be used with it in. The reality is it

Hello,

Dont want to sound ignorant, but what size are the size of the rotors on the M35 Stagea, looking to upgrade the brakes.

Are they the same as the V35 Skylines.

If you know can you please post up all specs.

Jules

Hi Jules

I do not know the size of the rotor but they are the same as the V35. The part numbers are the same. The brake pads are also the same as the V35/G35. (confirmed this with Ben).

I am looking at getting some Hawk brake pads from the US for front and rear. Just waiting to confirm the cost of rear pads.

Cheers

Andy

Hello,

Ok that should make it easier then, I was looking at these from A & B Motor sports, who are conveniently located in Brookvale.

I like the looks of the 6 & 8 Pot Brakes. The brakes on the M35 Stagea are less than desirable, I reckon some 8 pots would help a bit.....LOL

I noticed they only listed the G35 from 2006 on. Lets hope it still works.

We will have to meet up some time. I will be working in Cromer from May.

Hello,

I just spoke to them and he told me he noticed a huge difference with his R33 Skyline with their brakes. He suggested 8 Pots for the front and 6's for the rear. They are designed to run off the stock OEM master cylinder. Prices were

$2,200.00 for front 8 Pots - 330mm rotors

$2,300.00 for rear 6 pots - 330mm rotors

Excludes fitting, they could fit them for about $200'ish if purchased directly through them.

Wish I could help you. Maybe ring Ben or Tony at Northshore Prestige in Sydney. Cannot see why they wouldn't though.

BTW. If thats your car in your profile you need to stick more pic's up. Look's F...king awsome.

OK. Today I thought I would go through our old R32 GTR bit's to see what fit's and what doesn't. So here's what I came up with. Found an old set of front R32 GTR 4 Spot calipers measured them up and they fit. Small issue with some spacers to be made up(cost about $15 for the spacers) but everything else will fit perfectly. So if you want a cheap upgrade get you hands on a set of front R32 GTR calipers and you done.

The front Brembos off 350Z, V35 Skylines will fit without any mods at all. I trial fitted them when I took off my Brembos from the Zed.

The rears im not sure 100% but my guess is that it's possible.

For a good used complete set of Brembos, you're looking at about $2500-2800 including calipers, rotors and pads. Im considering upgrading the brakes next.

Fitted up the R32 GTR callipers tonight. Pretty easy job....you will however need to cut and linnish the bolt going into the caliper from the brake line.

The other thing you will need is rotor's that have a minimum thickness of 30mm(M35's are 24mm).....hopefully sorting some R32 GTR rotors tomorrow.

P.S. I will post up step by step once I have everything 100% finished....looking like a very cheap option still.

R32 GTR Brake setup done.

Parts needed:

*R32 Rotors

*Pads

*1 LT of brake fluid

*4 Spaced washers to go around the outside of the bolts going through the suspension arm and bolting to the caliper

Parts needed to be modified

* Remove or cut off the dust guard on the inside of the rotor.(if you have a nibbler this is a fairly quick job to cut off)

* Take about 1mm off the brake line bolt going into the caliper...or buy a new shorter one.

All up cost for everything was:

*$280 for the calipers to get rebuilt(or whatever your cost is for new ones)

*$80 for the Pad's

*$300 for brand new rotors

*$20 for Brake fluid

*$45 for Spacer washers to be made

*About 2 hours worth of your time

P.S. The only thing I have not yet tested is that the standard wheel and space saver fits...will let you know soon.

I guess the important question is, how does it feel and perform......compared to stock...

If I was to compare them with the new Nismo pads I had just put in the standard calipers its a definite improvement....lots more feel through the brake peddle.....mind you I have not had a good stand on them yet.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
