Hi Guys,

Had a quick question regarding upgrading the stock calipers (single piston) on my V36 Skyline to the twin piston stock calipers I have linked to below;

These are the single piston all round calipers I have right now;

Thanks for the help!

They should bolt on, nissan have been using the same pattern for a couple of decades, but the rotor size might be different. You'd have to check the rotor sizes and offsets between the models. Realistically, they don't sound like a worthwhile upgrade. If you want to upgrade, go to the 355mm akenbo or whatever they are. But you'll need bigger wheels to fit them too, see the circle here...?

You might just want to throw some slotted discs, decent pads, and high temp fresh fluid at your setup.

Akebonos go on but you need a 19inch rim that will clear the huge calipers. Theyre massive.

Pressuming you have a non premium (non brembo) you could upgrade the fronts to R34 GTT turbo brake which are 310x30 over the standard 296x25 (feel free to correct me guys im half asleep haha) and leave the V35 rears and do what alex said QFM pads and DBA T3 rotors all round and some fresh high temp fluid.

From what i have been told (doing it soon myself) and read the GTT brakes are awesome and an inexpensive option compared to brembo/akebono

Interesting the V36 went back to a single piston front calliper and smaller rotors than the stock V35 S2/3.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
