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.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
