I just bought a set of R32 GTR brakes, with dba rotors, to fit to my M35. I have heard I will need to fit a spacer for the bolts on the front, and the rears perhaps wont fit, so I will document my brake mod for you and see how I go.

I cleaned the calipers and found a crack in one of the dust seals so they will need a seal kit, and one of the fronts is missing the pins that hold the pads in, but I got them cheap. What would be the best place to get these pins and retainer? Nissan?

The rotors needed a cleanup so I machined them on the lathe.

read down towards the bottom.

P.S. Rears don't fit.......but let me know if you make up something to get them to fit....I would probably be interested in doing it.

cheers

No worries Craig, I will try and make a rear bracket once I get the fronts on and sorted. (Actually I may have to fit them all together as I want to flush the fluid for dot 5.1)

The rear disk looks about the same size so pads should work well.

yeh rear pads looked like a perfect fit over the rotor from memory.....it was just mounting them that was the problem.

have fun....pretty easy job doing the front as long as you have the right tools.

Can I ask a question....why DOT5?

Ive always run 5.1 in my bikes, and I have a liter just sitting around. I also have 4 liters of dot 4 though, which i could use too.

I know dot 5 doesnt like 4 or 3, I had experiences with the rubbers expanding and leaking if not washed out well with metho.

Found a set on IM. This is what I need to make...

Your a clever feller finding these. The cost is pretty good also as I paid about the same cost including freight to get these made locally.

How did you go fitting the rears?

Will they fit?

No money, no time...

I have to kit all the callipers first which means blasting and painting them, once cleaned and kitted, get the bolts and make spacer, then get the braided lines. The disks are off getting anodised at the moment.

I will test fit the rears next time I get a chance, If they dont look like fitting easily I may just install stainless lines and leave the standard rear callipers for now.

chances are the rears will fit no problems. danny got rear Z33 (actually all round) brakes on perfectly!

Not if they are R32 rear callipers. It's the mounting points that are different.

Where are you getting your braided lines Scott? Are the ADR compliant?

No Idea yet, I have made my own before, but I havent seen anyone selling the crimped ADR ones for the m35.

I will have to either do the ring around the manufacturers or import. :P We should get a group buy going.

What about ADR approved lines for a Z33?

I think I can recall Danny saying that the lines fitted no problem.

I'll be in that.

BTW has anyone been able to find a decent price for the rotor + mounts to upgrade to R32 calipers onto a bigger rotor?

I can get a pretty good price out of rda, but what do you want to do? dont you have 32's on there already?

Unique Autosport used to do a kit with 325mm discs and brackets for s14- s15, gt-t's ect. Seeing the caliper PCD is the same on the Stagea, that would be an option. Can't remember prices, but wasn't terrible, considering it came with discs as well.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
