Just A Few Questions For People As I'm Rather Lost

[Dan_Rumble]

Hey all,

ok firstly i have a front bumper mounted aerial and is seems to have some issues with the motor and the led on top lighting up what's the best way to access it and repair it and or what fuse does it come under aswell?

Secondly i need to replace front pads and possibly rotors non upgraded would it be a good idea to skim the rotors skimp on a cheep set of pads till ive done tax and the upgrade ?

And last still curious my cruse control CAN NOT be set higher than 110 KM/s any reason why or how to unlock ?

If the Rotors are at or close to their minimum thickness, you won't be able to get them machined, unless you happen to know someone who will do an 'under the table' job. If the rotors are still above minimum thickness and are in good shape, just get new pads for now.

I think the cruise limit is a factory set limit, not sure if there is any easy way to defeat this without replacing it with an aftermarket cruise control. Chris Rogers will be able to answer that for you though.

That front bumper thing is a parking aid, and not an antenna... The fuse is likely to be inline, but it could be any ware...

And the cruise limit, that is a factory setting.. Nissan like to do that, even on my old AUS new A32 Maxima, the cruise on that would not work about 135km/h.

Not a good idea to skimp on brakes.

Safety first man! Tyres, rotors and brake pads are the most important! Have you checked with Super Cheap Auto to see what they can order in... also have you checked eBay, there are some great deals on OEM rotors / pads (or better than OEM parts).

[Dan_Rumble]

Yeah been to repco etc there cheapest is close to 150 a side to order in, by cheeping out i mean just not buying top quality just getting a set that will do the job thats all i was looking at the QFM ones of one of the other threads etc , oh ok well then as its not an antenna time to attach a flag lol everyone seems to think its a flag pole lol

In regards what are a nice set of 19's for the skylines or any factory ones there is a set of 370z i like but almost 3000 so id like to put the brake kit on b4 i blow that much on wheels but i know i need to upgrade to 19's to do so.

[Dan_Rumble]

Oh and what kind of exhaust localy are like the powercraft one from japan ?

[Chris Rogers]

If the cruise shits you, get used to it. That's the default setting by Japan. The actual cutoff is 108kmh.

There is no fix for it as it's all software based in the engine ECU.

[Chris Rogers]

In regard to brakes please tell me you are not in Brisbane . Last thing I need is an un roadworthy car killing my kid because you are trying to be cheap.

[nickcorr]

Pads from GSL will be like $70 for the set. They will also do you a great deal on the discs, well they did on my old M35.

The V36 sedan brakes are way smaller that the coupe ones so should be a lot cheaper. They are the smaller of the two that were fitted to the 370Z so quite easy to get hold of.

[Dan_Rumble]

Ah ha ha Chris i live in Canberra, wouldn't be to worried mate and by cheep I mean as cheep as safety permits if i was a real cheep ass i wouldn't replace em lol, so GSL got a website or where there located ?

[awsam]

That exhaust is nuts, i'd love it on my v36!
I'm in a similar position, need new front brakes and was contemplating getting the rotor glaze machined off or just getting new ones.

[colin.ssc]

Didn't think they could get PV36 Sports brake rotors locally cause of the size...its 13" front and rear. Sourcing from USA = so expensive that the Akebono BBK option seem to be a good idea....unless you guys found some locally?

[nickcorr]

I believe these would fit?

At least worth asking GSL.

V36 350gt sports brakes and 370gt sports brakes are different I think. Not sure need to check again

[nickcorr]

Maybe on the coupes, but for the sedans pretty certain that there was no sports brake option for the Skylines. We all got the same 12.6" (320mm) discs on the front as the entry 370Z and also its entire suspension.

The Infiniti's did get a big brake option on the sedans which is the massive 14" discs and 4 pot calipers that all the S and SP V36 Coupes get. Huge dish on the wheels to clear the calipers as well...

[Dan_Rumble]

Yeah thats what im worried about as i have the stockies for my skyline 18 inches of painted Nissan excellence, but like i said just after an option that will do and organise what i need to save for my upgrade whether i need new rims and tyres etc and I know with that exhaust, powercraft do one for a 370z and it is mental , but to buy alone in aud is about 2.5k for exhaust not installed

[colin.ssc]

Nope, V36 350GT sport sedans have 13" 330mm front and rear brakes....370GT sedans have the 12.6" 320mm or the bbk.

Sedan sports brakes and normal brakes differ in size....sports brakes for coupes are the akebono big brake kits (14" F 13.8" R).

Okay thanks for the clarification mate.

I didn't realise that the 350GT S and SP had the Infinit G35 Sport brakes on the sedan. I was told that the brakes were all the same on the Skyline V36 S and SP Sedans no matter if 350GT or 370GT.

So does that mean you have 4 pot calipers as well? Well jealous if you do...

[Dan_Rumble]

Well that made me smile considering the salesmen was pushing me to get a 370gt
