Not a straight swap but close enough. R33 gtr have the same bolt pattern but require a small spacer and a sleeve. R32 gtr just require a sleeve.

The M35 uses 14mm bolts and the Sumitomo's run 12mm bolts.

The braking doesn't feel much stronger, just more consistent and they don't fade like the stockers. Also performance pads are easy to find.

Or get some 350Z brembos. See Danny's tutorial here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/M3...p;hl=m35+brembo

Pretty simple upgrade as long as you have wheels big enough to fit them.

I Just picked up a set off ebay and will be doing the same conversion next week when they arrive.

Cheers,

Ben.

This threads a bit old.....if you want to go bigger R33 GTR rotors and callipers should bolt straight up as well

I used my lathe to spin up the spacer tube so it fits over the 12mm thread. It has to be 1mm thick, 12mm internal and 14 mm external. 12mm long I think. From what I have seen the r33/r34 gtr will also require a small spacer between the calliper and mount also, the r32 gtr callipers I used didn't, the disk was perfectly centered in them.

Put your tool away, no need to show off :thumbsup:

Im not sure what the r33 disks are but the r32 gtr disks are 32mm. The M35 disks are about 20mm thick.

M35 fronts are 24-25mm thick, R33 are larger than R32, so will be much thicker than the standard M35 discs.

is there a kit out there to fit the mn35 , or does it share the same brake kit as a difrenet car like the v35 ?

K Sport do a 6 & 8 Pot kit for them. . pretty straight forward. . .but cost is around $2400 a pair. . use Brembo rotors for replacement and various pads like hawk and ferodo . .

A & B motor sports and others do them. . here in Sydney. . just google k sport and you will see options. . they are the V35 skyline ones.

What wheels do you have Scotty as the 33 callipers hit my standard wheels

17 x 9 inch Driftek's, (+30 I think) they fit like a glove other than the fronts hang out half an inch.

The rim clears the curved brace under the coilover by 3mm and I have 235 45 17 Kumho KU36 tyres. (speedo is out by 11 ks at 100.) Highly recommended.

Hey scotty dont want to appear stupid but will the offset stop the rim from hitting the R33 upgrade callippers or is it the shape of th basket on the rim.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
