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.

hmmmm.....Damn it!

apologies if I have led anyone astray on this!

....I don't know if I can admit that I am wrong on this to Alex!!! :P

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:

Edited by PN-Mad

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!!!

  • 2 years later...

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...

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
