The fronts do fit; but you will need to sleeve the mounting ears on the hub as the V series uses 14mm mounting bolts, whereas the GTR caliper is a 12mm bolt.

Some possible backing plate trimming, and the removal of the double flare seat in the bottom of the brake line hole.
The V series uses a banjo bolt setup, but it's very straightforward to do.

The rears will need some dedicated brackets made to fit properly.

Why wouldnt you just get R34 GTT brakes. Not as much fart-assing around and are bigger?

310x30 vs 296x32

R32 have more meat to offset any diameter advantage. Also OEM R32 GTR brakes have curved vane rotors. Cause racecar.

brembo R32 gtr vspec, or standard R32 gtr brakes? if not brembo i suspect its not worth the hassle..and assuming you have the base model non-brembo v35 coupe.

Can tell you it bloody well is worth the hassle.

Brakes on the stock single piston units are woeful. Sumitomos are so much better. Was one of the first things I did to my car.

QFT.

Nothing like being able to stop.

I've got R34GTT brakes and I has plenty of stops.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
