Any of u guys had problems with brake pads wearing thin and rotors needing to be machined relatively quickly?

coz my v35 needs it again and its only been a difference of approx 25-30k.... :P ... is that right..?

feedback would be appreciated and thoughts on whether to replace/machine them or maybe start looking into some BBK?

(however looking into BBK means i probably need to get new rims due to them being the stock 17" and probably won't clear it)

Having a quick read of the G35driver forums apparently the early V35's had issues with the brakes wearing out quickly. The rotors are soft (to be more efficient) and wear quickly.

yeah was just surfing through it. gonna cost ~$700 to machine rotors and replace brake pads... did some thinking and either look for some brembos, purchase a set of new Akebono BBK or just get brake pads....

opinions?

cheers in advance =]

I've gotten my non-brembo nissan brake pads from ebay.com for about AUS$100 delivered in the past, even cheaper now exchange rate

... so for the same ~$700, I'll get the slotted discs from Rianto and pads from ebay US

Pads are easy enough to put on I've done many times on s13s, 300gt/360gt8 .. rotors i'm about to try pretty soon :)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      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.
