bit more of an update....forgot to add this....you will need to machine off about 2mm of the hub.....don't worry it does not affect anything.....but if you don't do it it will rub against the rotor.

I didn't need to do this. R32 GTR 32mm discs. about 1.5mm clearance. drives fine. I will add after removing the olive in the caliper to grab a very fine tooth file to smooth the mating surface of the banjo bolt cooper washer to ensure a good seal.

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

hmmm....your the second person to say this to me.....Scott said the same thing.......he even has my old R32 rotors. In saying that I had to remove this area on mine and Andy's AR-X.....maybe there is a difference in the offset between the RX and AR-X.

If the Hub Bearings are different it could change the offset...maybe

I will also say, if your brake discs are currently warped to sort them out asap. I think I left mine to long and it has worn my power steering rack to the stage I now get shudder when turning the wheel quickly.

The hub bearings are the same part number....maybe the upright is slightly different! Never had the brakes warped on the front of this car but I do get a shudder on left hand sweepers under power.....reckon its the CV's on the LH shaft or steering rack? Need to get it sorted....or maybe just don't turn left....lol.

Roger that, who knows then.

I checked my rack end play...definately what my issue is. Only happens when I turn right under power or sitting dead still and turning the wheel quickly.

I had the same 2mm disk clearance, ARX must have different front end which would make sense if the strut has 40mm extra travel.

I'm looking at getting DBA rotors for the wagon.

The existing slotted discs it came with are getting too thin.

They don't like the heat generated slowing the M35 down hills like Stanwell Tops and Kangaroo Valley and keep warping.

Trying to decide between the DBA954X / DBA574X which are their 'Street' Gold cross drilled and the more expensive 4000 series rotors, either slotted or cross drilled.

Is there anything wrong with the cheaper 'Street' brakes, I've come across a few posts where people claim they've heard of some bloke cracking cross drilled brakes, but it seems a bit like an old wives tail.

I don't want to spend money pointlessly, but brakes are the place to go a bit nuts.

Any other good rotor replacements for stock calipers? I've seen the RDA ones on ebay, but I can't find any good info on their full range.

Thanks

They bolt on perfectly, a couple of us have done the conversion.

Are you selling yours? PM me a price if you are.

Need to source me a set of these.

Do you want to find out the hard way? Get slotted but not drilled.

I'm leaning towards the slotted after doing more reading.

This link (provided by GSLRallySport) pretty much describes my problem

Save a bit of cash and spend it on pads...

Having done a fair bit of reading on brakes (zomg theres a search button!) I was just wondering whether slotted rotors and good pads with the standard calipers is a worthwhile upgrade or if the only way forward is a caliper upgrade?

Seems like there are heaps of options, k sport, 350z brembos, akebonos, but I'm curious if theyre worth the premium for a road car...

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
