:) that sounds similar to what many brake places say about the V35 brakes.. 'one size fits all for non-bremo brakes'.. but that is also incorrect.. Series 2 and 3 brakes are larger than series 1, both front and rear.

No, the sports brake is normal...just big ass rotors....bigger than the normal brakes but not a bbk! Thats the confusing part...!! Cant seem to find anything locally...from America cost a big bomb. Prob gonna order the BBK and get it over with lol.

Yea Sonicii....do you think the smaller rotors would work alright with it anywya?

Do you mean on the V35.. No.. they are a smaller diameter, so the pads will overhang then edge of the rotor..

No idea with the V36.

Only talking 10mm aren't we.. Given how cheap the 370Z discs are, even uprated ones, I reckon it might be worth a go.. It might be that the calipers are actually the same for both, just a slightly bigger disc and so with the 370Z pads as well, it might all line up correctly.

We might need to bite the bullet and ask GSL...

There is normally only a mm or so between the edge of the rotor and the edge of the area swept by the pad, so 10mm will be a problem..

I know first hand what you get if you put series1 V35 rear rotors on a series 2!. and there is a 16mm size diameter difference on the rear (24mm on the fronts)

oh yes, completly understand, not suggesting anyone just slaps on the smaller discs and drives off with an obvious pads not lining up problem.

Hence why I said to ask the experts, that being GSL. Still might be that with the correct pads, it all lines up... Stranger things have happened in OEM spare parts land before...

Whoever tries anything just be careful :)....especially the rear rotor is also 13" but thinner....fronts are 13" too but thicker. I've spoken to GSL a year ago...they don't have anything locally...they can import...cost $$...that is the only thing I dont like abt the PV36....loving the HR motor and 5spd....just the brakes are shitting me. Chose this over the 370GT never once thought abt brake size differ...lol

Wow!! That is incredable!! Someone at Nissan must have had a brain fade...

Is it even worth fitting the entire 370Z brakes from a wrecker rather than going with a BBK and having to change the wheels out to clear the calipers?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      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

      the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box

      Plan B? Get someone to machine up a metal bush/collar/whatever it needs to be to replace the rubber? I haven't had a close look at that part recently to have a proper feel for whether that's possible. But it might be easy.

      I do not want to install a short shifter and the only other stock throw shifter I have seen is the Nismo "Rigid shifter" for $290 So plan A is to fill it with sikaflex to stiffen it up and hope for the best
