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

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
