So a 355mm rotor is half the story. You need to make up your mind over the brand and check the hat offset. Manufacturers use different height hats and different thickness hats...all offseting the rotor differently that means you need a bracket to offset the caliper appropriately.

If you dont have rotors than the link DJ posted is a good option. great quality rotors and hats and can buy the brackets off them.

If this helps it is a drawing of an adaptor bracket for an F40 to R33 GTR rotor (324mm from memory). If you have the offset of the 355 rotor (What Troy was talking about) it is easy enough to figure out the measurements for the bracketry required. The one I ended up with is pretty elaborate and most are much more straight forward. Anyway the trick is to find someone who will machine it for you at a reasonable price.

As iam looking for brakes for my R32 GTR as well ive come across these if this helps

www.ao-ps.com

heaps of different rotors available and brake pads.

Giro Disc

Project Mu

A few people have spoke of trying it but unless you have ABS I say it will end up a bit of a nightmare as the EVO brakes use a piston size as big./bigger than FPV Fords which is waaaay bigger than anything Nissan ever intended for this cars.

+1 Finding someone who will machine at reasonable price and making sure the rotor offset is correct - unless anyone has access to a garage who can do both for you, can be tricky

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
