hi there,

im sure this has been asked before so sorry for the repeat, have been trying to search and seems the search bar (or my pc) hasnt been working for a few days.

anyway, my brother drives a 2003 (i think) 350GT he has recently upgraded to much bigger AP racing calipers and rotors

so here i am thinking i need bigger brakes when i see them in a box in the shed and they would be about perfect for what i need. (2 pot rear 4 pot front i think)

would the rotors and or calipers directly bold on? and if not what would be involved in making them fit?

also would i be needing a bigger than standard master cylinder?

cheers

They will bolt straight up.

If your car has ABS - http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/genuine-nissan-pitwork-brake-master-cylinder-bm57-1716-nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-p-538.html

If it does not - http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/genuine-nissan-pitwork-brake-master-cylinder-bm50-nissan-skyline-r32-gtr-brembo-calipers-wout-abs-p-1168.html

can anybody confirm? i have heard somewhere that fronts may fit but backs will need mounts drilled out and spacers put in, (possibly front too)

would be bloody awesome if i could use them

they aren't the same as 34 gtr brembos but im guessing u know that n ur suggesting that as a replacement booster. cheers tim!

My apologies, I got confused reading your user name and linked a R34 instead of R33 ABS MC. Revised link.

Nissan Brembos calipers, including R32 (N1), R33, R34, 350Z, and 350GT are all the same. Only the disc size varied slightly between some models.

Brembo calipers use M12 x 1.5 bolts up front. Sumitimo calipers use M12 x 1.25. Therefore, if you have the mounting hardware, they're a direct fit.

I fitted r34 gtt brakes to my stagea (rs ) which has 12mm holes in the struts.

I machined up new inserts for the calipers with M12 threads.knocked out old ones knocked in new ones. Heaps easy.

Maybe I should make a heap more....

thanks heaps for your replies everyone

think i might just do with good pads and rotors with standard m-spec calipers until im tracking it and upgrade then.

took her up springbrook mountain last weekend and didnt fade too much even with cheap pads and rotors

yeah tim, my cousin used to drive a 34 and made an account under my email for some reason now i cant make my own account hah.

Interested to hear how you go with this upgrade ? Only because i used to have a 350gt with the brembos and they underwhelmed me... this was with proper bleed/dot 4 fluid and TRW lucas pads and good tires.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
