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.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
