So I enquired about Braided brake lines for the G35x (which should fit ours ours) from Cozperformance.

I asked specifically whether the G35x and regular G35 lines will be different due to ATTESSA being present in the G35.

This is his response:

The Stoptech SS Brake lines eliminate the block mounts on the original

lines, thus we don't have to follow them anymore. This allow us to

install the lines on any G35 model.

Anyone want to translate that for me? What's the block mounts?

So he's basically saying that braided lines for the G35 will fit G35x which has ATTESSA.

Hopefully they'll fit our cars then....hmmm

Hmm called Goodridge and Stoptech, both of them say they only have lines for the regular G35, not the AWD version.

Stoptech says due to their location in the West Coast, there's no G35x's around...most of them are in the North East where the weather sucks. Which means no test car to make lines off.

So what do you guys think? Grab a set of G35 lines and pray to see if they fit?

or buy the rear lines and spend $200 to get front ones custom made here?

Ok so just to re cap...

A good set up using standard calipers is?

I know alot was talked about but nothing concreate.

Nice set of slotted DBA rotors and maybe some Nismo Pad's to suit worked great for me before I went the next step!....Pads are a personal preference I liked the Nismo's because I could not get em to fade on the street and they had a great feel.

+1 upgraded slotted rotors are great, and every man and his dog has a different opinion about pads; all the 'brand name' pads will be an upgrade from stock at the end of the day, depends how far you want to push your budget :thumbsup: I went with EBC, they seem to work well for me

Where did you get the Nismos?

I was looking at getting the QFM HPX pads, only need to do the rears for now but would prefer something with low dust.

HPX are low dust, I have been running them front and rear for the past month on stock rotors/calipers.

They're pretty good and don't need warming up like the A1RM's do... but then again, they don't dust up anywhere near them either.

I think that the Nismo's were pretty much dust free.

You should be able to get some pretty cheap from the US (G35 or Z33 non-brembo)

Bit the bullet and bought a set of Stoptech G35 braided lines...

The seller said he's sold them a few times to G35x owners and never had a complaint...

See how we go....or how Scotty goes :nyaanyaa:

Oi, get me a set too... :)

How much was it?

      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.....

      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)
