Stock brake lines fit Brembo's; only the banjo bolt threads are different. They will work fine. +11ty for group buy.

jetwreck, 33 GTR and 34 GTR (regardless of vspec or non vspec) are all 30mm thick rotors. they are all 324mm X 30mm. the only ones that are 32mm are the standard R32 GTR set-up (with sumitomo callipers) that are 296mm X 32mm. the Vspec R32 GTR have the same 324mm X 30mm rotor and the same brembo callipers as the 33/34 GTR do. there isn't a 324mm X 32mm rotor. you probably just remembered your 296mm set-up which would have been 32mm thick, but I promise ALL the 324mm brembo set-ups are a 30mm thick rotor, regardless of aftermarket or standard. it's not a huge deal, but yeah the extra 2mm would be nice for a bit more heat capacity.

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

sure, they might be great brakes- for a 600hp GTR track car. You might want something a bit more civilised for daily use (and about 1/10th the price)

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

yeah... couldn't be f'd trying to speel that properly...:happy:

Jetwreck - don't just admit your wrong like that! Brah, you interwebs balls just shrunk

:yes:

braided brake lines are a great upgrade.

wait for the maltech ones, my long single ones have rubbed and move around a little. ill probably buy some new fronts when the maltech ones are ready

excatly having a disc that is to big is going to make braking worse if u can't keep the temperature in the disc's and pads............. they have a minimum operating temperature so going to big is just stupid!!!

It's the best option for getting good brakes under 17's, I still had some pad fade at PI after a few laps running A1RM's, but even the Akebono's will have issues stopping 2T continuously I would say.

What would you like to know? I may be selling mine soon enough...

I know the Brembo options are bolt on which is ace:

1. What size master cylinder do the M35's currently run and what size do the Track 350Z run?

2. Will they fit behind my Axis wheels? I really don't want to buy new wheels, as I am kind of fond of the Axis wheels.

wht510,

I installed 350Z brembos on my NM35.

1) currently using the factory NM35 unit.

2) I had 18x8 +38 but needed +5 spacer for the front to fit over the caliper. Back was fine.

BTW, the backing plates on the rear will need cutting.

Thanks for the feedback Gents!

The Axis wheels, based on my quick look are +30mm, so I would think I would have to change them.

Don't want to do that at the moment...I'm kind of fond of them.

I do see an M35 with the number plate SKIPOW near my area which runs 19" TE-37's and brembo's. Looks awesome!

I don't think so actually, the internal spoke profile of the AXIS rim is quite deep, you might get away with it.

Contact one of the Vic members.

I'm sure they would mind you trying to slot a wheel on a GTR to test it out.

I know the sumitomos don't work with AXIS wheels, and I don't think that Brembos will either, but give it a go.

Interedasting; I stand corrected. ;)

If the Sumitomos don't fit with the AXIS rims; I'd almost guarantee the Brembo's won't, as the disc offset on the 350Z Brembo puts the rotor face (and therefore the caliper) closer to the wheel mounting face by about 5mm.

With the Brembo being a larger caliper than the Sumi; any clearance will be even smaller.

350z track rims are +30 offset, and obviously clears the brembo. I had both on my M35...

Guess it'll depend on your spoke design. Should be ok I reckon.

This is interesting information.

Might have to try and fit an Axis wheel to a 350Z track...

      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.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)
