Hey

Thinking about up grading the front brakes on our M35(when it arrives) to R34 GTT.

I looked in the brake thread but it's all over the place.

So can anyone confirm if the GTT discs and calipers will bolt straight on? I understand the brake line might need some work but that's easy to take care of.

Cheers guys.

Cool. So the r34 gtt caliper uses a larger mounting bolt than r33. I'm assuming the M35 also uses the larger mounting bolt or am I wrong?

If this is correct I shoulnt need the bolt sleeves.

34 GTR front Brembos are definitely 324mm, I will have matching sized disks as the Z33 rear Brembos are 324mm also. (Same as the later BNR34 rears.)

I got the Brembo disks machined yesterday, he had issues cutting them they were so hardened. Grade 8 he said. They required a carbide cutter to face, not bad. :cheers:

296 = R33 GTST and R32 gtr except 2mm thicker.

310 = R34 GTT

324? = R33/34 GTR

this is correct

non brembo r32 gtr is 296x32mm, r33 gts-25t is 296x30

r34 gtt is 310mmx30 and r34 gtr is 324mm (i forget what thickness)

everything r32 and r33 has 12mm bolts up front, r34 gtt and gtr brakes have 14mm bolts up front

on a side note, the 2 pot rears are the same from r32 to r34 :)

i thought 350z calipers etc was the M35 upgrade?

its the better option because you get 324mm rotors if you get the brembos

but brembos always carry a premium price

i thought the rotor hat height was the main difference between R33/34 and 350Z? being that the R34GTR brembos have a height of 53.8mm and 350z brembos a height of 49mm. clearly if you match the caliper to the rotor you should be right but depends on the hubs being the same. so if you fitt R34 brakes to your M35 they will sit in further than standard (better caliper clearance?)

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
