What are you guys paying for Brembos? I have a set of D2s on the front of my Stagea - cost about NZ$2k but I think there is a group buy on this site run by R31Nismoid.

Would rather pay 2k and no import var tax than 800 and half of car value in import tax.....

Hey guys..

Just digging this up as I need some clarification.

For those who have performed the Z33 / V35 Brembo caliper upgrade, did you upgrade the brake lines as well?

Obviously upgrade lines is preferable but can I get away with the standard lines?

Cheers guys.

Found it:

Stoptech stainless steel braided lines

Purchased from Concept Z performance

Designed for G35 sedan 03-06, coupe 03-07 (I think they were for G35X if they make different ones for those models)

Part Number for front and rear set G35-950.42004_950.42503

Fitted to M35 ARX with 350Z Brembo's - straight fit, no drama's, no cable ties; was able to use supplied bracket mount

Cost me $150 plus postage (2 years ago) for the set

So those have 3 parts not 2? The G35X was the awd one, so they should bolt on, just like you described.

Maltech wanted $700 the set back when I fitted mine... Thanks for that Adam, we should get a group buy started on them.

What do you mean by 3 parts Scotty? They are full replacement - single braided line from solid line to caliper. I'll take some pics over the weekend some time.

I guess I could organise group buy, however seeing that I already have a set there is not really anything in it for me...unless you want to organise front and rear sway bars for me Dale?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
