M35 Brembo Brake Coversion

[PN-Mad]

Stock- 296 x 24mm fronts

R32 GTR non vspec - scotty is very right - 296x32

R33 GTR - 324mmx30mm

taken from dba. don't know about minimums. There are some dodgy discs out there for sure. I'd say 2mm wear and its time for something fresh.

[Jetwreck]

Noob.

You measured yours...?

guess what they are...

I checked the thickness when I put em on and before I bought em.....but next time I get a wheel off I'll check...pretty sure they are standard R33GTR...not the V-Spec!

[WAGON_BOY]

ok i lost all the info i put together and had to do it again LOL

same sized brake pad for all R32/R33/R34 and 350Z with the brembo's....

R32 GTR disc is 296x32mm with height of 54mm

R33/R34 GTR disc is 324mmx30mm with height of 53.8mm

P.S. Alex(PN-Mad) now has me thinking....I am really going to have to take off my wheels and check the rotor thickness...not admitting defeat yet!

I don't get what the concern with brake pad's is .....you have ????? brakes on your car.....ring a brake place tell em I have ????? brakes and what pads do you have to suit!

meh... 2mm isn't too much to worry about anyway...

war have been fought over less...

lol

Let me summarise for wagon boy

when upgrading brakes you can do the following-

1)better quality original size pads and rotors

2)commercial big brake kit for G35/Z33

3)Z34 Akenbo kit ex US

4)r32 GTR conversion / possible upgrade to 324mm

5) z33 Brembo conversion

6) R33/34 Brembo conversion

between everyone here, all those have been done. std wheels won't fit- you need aftermarket.

most people worry about the fronts but not the backs. All will cost different $ depending on what you decide.

ive got the AXIS 18" rims im sure they will clear the callipers or is it the offset thats wrong???

cos i have a custom 324mm disc with RX7 S6 4spot callipers on my 808 wagon and i run a 16" rim.

[PN-Mad]

Offset- the side of the 4 pot will hit the spokes- the diameter of the wheel is plenty big enough.

easist way to check - put a wheel on a z33 with Brembos or a R3* with Sumitomos

We know arx rims don't fit, my s2 17's dont fit - that being said, I don't know if ppl have tried the axis rim.

use the AP big break kit for a 350z nuff said

Ap are up there as one of the best they make break kis for F1 for fs sake

LOL...and how much will that set you back??

[WAGON_BOY]

#3) Z34 Akebono brake kit - thats a 14" disc with a 4 piston calliper.

and #7) that AP KIT is 14.25" disc with a 6 piston calliper.

[scotty nm35]

Why anyone would need massive kits like those on the street I have no idea, best to keep the rotating weight down. I can get abs to kick in with my little toe with just 295mm disks.

Good slotted rotors and a good set of pads is what you want, braided lines will improve the feel. I got my r32 callipers for $300, the full set.

to be honest, i went with number 10] got some slotted rotors, and good qfm pads.

mine stops fine. and l can still get ABS on fine.

my theory is, if i change the brakes, and know that I can start braking alot later to stop, i'll over calculate and put it into a wall lol.

where as now, i know i have to stop a little early - i concentrate more.

+ me and scott were discussing this, and i rarely rely on breaks anyway

[ironpaw]

JHmm stop it. You're making me want to sell my brembos....

prolly better off using that $$$ for some BC's instead

[scotty nm35]

Both would be good, and sway bars, and braided lines, and ... the list goes on.

[Sunkist]

by no means sell the brembo's.. you already have most of the stuff(or the more important anyway) might as well just do it.

however, i honestly do think that the BC's and Sway bars are more important - but thats me, i rarely rely on the brakes, and when i do. they stop fine. the single piston is big enough.

Scott you never stop lol

The way your car is lowered you've probably lost the ability to stop it anyway

On a serious note with the standard callipers and rotors + only Nismo pad's I found the brakes pretty good! The R32 GTR Calliper and rotor set up was definitely better.....the Brembo's were better again....have yet to test braided lines!!

at least i dont blow things up lol. oh wait..

car stops fine craig. oh i gotta give you a call.

[ironpaw]

have yet to test braided lines!!

You have some??? for our car?

KV1 is getting Yarra Brakes to make some up for him...wonder how it'll go. He did manage to use the 350GT lines that came with his brembos to fit though...
