Another bit of FYI on rear R32 GTR calipers.

Tried the rears on last night and although the rotor fitted the caliper has totally a different mount....bit of shame as it looked to be an easy and cheap upgrade.

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

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.

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.

Did you ever confirm that the 350z rear brakes fitted the M35?

This is on my list of upgrades once I start working on the driveline.

I'm doing this atm with R33 GTST Calipers and R32 GTR discs. The bit you machined of the hub..you are refering to the rectangle protrusion on the alloy part of the hub?

The Banjo bolt that you linished 1mm from to fit the brake line...did you do that so it seats inside the caliper and seals? Or could I just use a couple of extra copper washers to space it out?

Fit the rotors up....you will see where it hits......thats the area you need to remove. As far as the calliper goes I wouldn't use extra washers.....if you look inside the calliper where the banjo goes in there's a small restrictor.....you should be able to remove it by screwing a self tappers into it and pulling it out.

if you get stuck give me a buzz

cheers

Thanks for the quick reply Craig! Whats the go with the restrictor in the stock calipers do I use that with the R33 calipers? Or do you mean remove the restrictor from the R32/R33 Calipers?..so the Banjo seats correctly? Am I on the right track?

Yes, remove the restrictor in the R32/R33 calipers so that you can screw the standard M35 banjo straight in.

When you look into the point where the banjo screws in you will see the reducer just sitting in there. Comes out the the described method.

Otherwise you need to cut off the end of your banjo that has a restricting end.

Got it!

So no need to linish 1mm off the Banjo bolt if I get the restrictor out?

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

Hey Andy do you Know the (DB)code on the back brake pads and that of the service brake.Thanks Cad.

not sure what you mean by DB code? The Hawk brake code is HB30F.559 (rear)

It is unlikely you would need to replace the pads on the service brake. They can be tightened up with the wheel removed. There are instruction on how to do this in the G35 service manual.

Cheers

Brand new Gold Brembo's for 350z, brought 3 years ago but supposedly never fitted to a vehicle.

Pick-up only and they are in Victoria.

I have R32 GTR disks and they foul on the hub arm. I would expect the R33 GTST 30mm will be ok. 32gtr is 32mm

I have the R32 GTR rotors on my M35 and they fit perfectly.

I had to remove a small raised section on the lower side of the hub arm, about 2mm thick and the size of a regular dice.

Ok my supposed R33 Calipers turned out to be 300zx items suited to 280mm disc's so a real pain in the butt as I now have to get a refund and source some more. They were the finned type and the legs on the calipers were considerably shorted...my guess about 16mm 296-280.

Are the legs on the R33 GTST calipers definately the same lenth as 32 gtr?

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
