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?

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
