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...

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
