Went to Barbagallo for the first time with my R35 last night for the No Limits night session run on the short track.

Not knowing the track and driving it at night was rather intimidating especially given the poor lighting but in any event I have been bitten by the bug and found myself on the phone today trying to order new brake rotors pads braided lines etc.

Does anyone know if anyone has the Endless MX 75's in stock BSM sports are out of them ...

just finished fitting the AP curved slotted rotors and endless pads. vsport were very good thanks Dunc. Both Gary and John were great.

Tony from speedmaster was also very good.

I think a shipment of the endless pads is expected from Japan some time after the 24th Feb (they are out of stock currently - I think most vendors will be)

If inclined, installing the rotors and pads on all four corners was relatively simple though I took my sweet time (this was my first time ever working on brakes so took me a shade under 4 hours from car up to car down) I was a little OCD, certainly would not make any money as a mechanic working at that pace!

Thanks guys will give them a try on monday, were you happy with the upgrades you have done with the brakes Duncan ? DO you recommend also installing braided steel lines and better fluid ?

I've run both the AP slotted and jhook replacement rotors and i'm very happy, great value and robust product. I have a set of bradied lines sitting here (not installed) so i don't know if they will be an improvement. For fluid i use brembo lcf 600, i bleed after each track event, i go through a lot of fluid. There are some reviews on the US forums about cheaper fluid which i think is just as good. Worth looking it up on nagtroc.

p.s. the j-hooks are rather noisy on the street (click click sounds)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
