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.

Noob.:P

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!

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 yetph34r.gif!

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...:pirate:

lol :teehee:

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.

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

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

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 :P

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!!

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • 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.....
    • 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)
