If there's one good thing about heavy performance vehicles, it's that they invariably have exceptional brakes. Throwing the braking hardware from a much heavier car onto somthing nimble and lightweight usually means loads more braking torque and greater resistance to fade. Backyard tuners have been doing this for ages, but now things have just been kicked up a notch by this, the first R35 brake caliper retrofit adapter that allows owners of "lesser" R32, R33 or R34 Skylines the chance to feel the titan grip of those 6-piston Brembos.

The adapter system was developed by an as-yet unnamed workshop, although we're sure we'll be seeing something like it on the shelves quite soon. All that's needed to mount these suckers on your 90s Skyline are two hefty-looking aluminium adapters that go between the steering knuckle and the calipers, the bolts to fit them together, and those monstrous calipers and 380mm floating rotors. You'll need some big wheels to squeeze them in, but it's possible with 18-inch Rays TE37s or Nismo LMGT4s - it probably helps if you've got a GT-R too, as the extra fender width and more aggressive offset would help shoehorn those wheels in.

As for cost we've got no idea, but considering the R35 is still a relatively new model we're betting that the total for all the hardware involved would be bordering on extortionate. Better to wait until a few more R35's get thrown on the junkheap first.

Yeh the alloy adaptors are about $600, then you just need to get the rotors and calipers which are going for about $6,800 including rears.

So not exactly a bargain upgrade. But great to see Nissan using a radial mount caliper, if only they did that with earlier model GTRs then you would have had a cross between a Lotus and F40 caliper, only as it woudl be radial mount it would have been oh so easy to throw larger rotors at the std caliper

and the article you linked is a bit lame. not much info. for the record the workshop is Endless R. and the price is from memory 850,000JPY so about $9500 landed. and it's only front brakes.

Would expect all offsets that you would think of fitting to a 32 R will clear based on a google search that said a +22 clears.

Search R35 18 inch brake clearance

First result that comes up from GTRlife.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
