I just did the r34gtt front brake conversion this morning on my m35 axis. As others have said, pretty much direct bolt on. Just had to remove the olive/restrictor from the gtt calipers and the dust shield met Mr hammer which worked well. I managed to get the required clearance without trimming it. The axis rims fit back on without clearance issues which is a bonus. Just got to bleed the brakes after lunch and go for a drive. All in all, very straightforward upgrade.

Is the internal diameter of the m35 line connector the same as this 'restrictor'. Thats why i kept mine in

I believe the restrictor needs to be removed otherwise the banjo bolt can't seat all the way unless you shorten in. I didn't bother checking I just removed it as advised in this thread.

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 probably makes f**k all difference and is a personal preference thing.

Use a self tapping screw. Screw it in till it stops or until the olive starts spinning with it then pull out with some pliers. 1 I took out came easy as the olive started spinning. The other was a bit of a bitch but came out eventually with a bit of CRC and some careful pulling.

Hey anoyone with big brakes, don't forget to check your spare if it fits.

Mine doesn't even on the back with 12mm spacers.

Need to source another rim with matching size and offset from a wrecker.

Lucklity I had a flat in the city and not down the snow where i was 2 weeks ago.....

My spare has been sitting in my garage for quite some time. No point in having it in the car as it doesn't fit unless I put two 25mm bolt-on spacers on the hub.

So i decided to go with THIS

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
