Woo Monday morning I have a meeting to discuss the transfer to my new job!!!!!

Yayayayayay I got it :D!!!!

Congratz man,

Ok so once again i need some parts help lol, so its time for a set of slotted rotors and some new pads, im going with QFM street pads as they are awesome (used on my last car) but the rotors im stuck between the DBA T2 and T3 (club spec) the T3 are like $450 a set for fronts and $380 for rears, and the T2 are like $500 for all 4. Is it worth the coin to get the T3?

I went the T3 as i didnt want them cracking on the track, although my POS didnt let me go quick enough to worry anyway lol

But yeah go the T3, dont cheap out on brakes man!

Yeh i was looking at the T3 is anyone able to explain the difference for me? im guess its something to do with heat from what u said Matt?

Compare these mate -

http://www.dba.com.au/products/clubspec-t/4000-t3/

also there is a T3 5000 and a T3 4000 whats the diff in thoes?

Lube or no lube haha

I went to go the 5000 until i realised they were about $500-600 per rotor, just still with the 4000 mate!

hmmm, well cheers for the help man, have some decisions to make now, i also need to replace the clutch and coilovers as clutch is slipping and coilovers are leaking, i think they are like 10 years old or more since they came with the car from Japan.

Yeah well just look at what you want to use the car for and purchase based on that! Shortcuts will get you breakdowns like my car lol, i spent so much in all the right places but skimped on the fuel system :P No more probs now!

And clutch, once again weigh up what you are using it for! Skids hopefully!

Yeh well my end goal atm is 300-320KW at the wheels, and a street setup on the brakes and suspension as i dont do track work, i will run it at the drags when Sushi wants to have a crack but its going to be a pavement pounder so handleing is at the top of my list, 300KW on the street i think is more then enough. I want to be able to get the power to the ground and keep it there, so suspension and brakes is high on my list but idk if i need the T3 as its not going to see much track maybe once a year if that. I have been looking for a 2nd hand OS clutch twin plate if i can find one, if not ill call JB and get a single plate customer built for the street. Coilovers im looking at another set of Zeal Function X or a high end set of BC.

Well maybe the T2 will suffice or the RDA etc..... Did you check with GSL Rallysport?

As for clutch there is NO need for a twin plate or triple plate etc..... Its up to you what you choose but a single can take 500kw+ of done right....

Thats good info Matt, i was thinking of getting the Twin plate because in a few years im planing to do a big single conversion and turn it into a track car when i buy a daily, but thats when its all paid off and shiz, so for now its 300KW on probs a power FC with some injectors and a fuel pump.

twin plate clutch puts a lot of stress on the driveline.

if you dont upgrade the necessary supporting components you can get cracking in the firewall as well.

The nismo twin for the 34r is very well regarded as one of the best out of the box all round performers.

Not cheap, but handles heaps of power, and drives similar to stock.

It's what I will be putting in when I do the next stage of engine mods...

You clown Benji!!! The only crack in the firewall will be when you don't torque the flywheel and the clutch goes through it and the bonnet lol...

My single plate has 4600lb clamp which is more than most twin plates and the pedal feel is lighter than a lot of cars...

Ant - yes they are a good all rounder but big $

Totally incorrect benji. No extra stress is put on the driveline at all - what your getting confused with is that a clutch is designed to fail before the driveline parts approach there operational limit...so to much power and a good clutch can cause issues for diffs etc.

The r34 Gtr drive line can take 1000hp with little modification, so Adam should be right no matter what he chooses.

    • "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD
    • I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.  
    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
