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.

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 :D 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 :P 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

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?

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...

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 :D, but to buy alone in aud is about 2.5k for exhaust not installed :(

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... :yes:

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
