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.

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.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
