Hi gents wondering what the options for upgrading the rear brakes are in know about 350z brembo and v35 ones but how about any other nissan factory options that suit. I have a pair or r34 gtt rear calipers but they don't fit the mounting holes are closer together and to smaller bolts so any other ideas?

Cheers gents

Make a steel adapter bracket.

I believe the internal handbrake drum is the same diameter, and the disc offset will work.

Aim for 12mm of material thickness at any cross section and your bracket will have plenty of strength.

Have fun.

Rudi has a set on his car Nathan, so it can be done.

I bet they do too Scotty, but they won't be anywhere near the price of a set of Nissan calipers.

I've never bothered, as I find the bias fine with the OEM rears, pads & rotors are easily available, and I don't reckon there's much of an improvement to be had.

It would balance it out visually, but that's about it.

I'll have to speak to Rudi then cheers mate it would be a shame to let these go as I got em for free and they would as you say balance out the look with the 32 gtr fronts. How much were the ksports scott don't think my pockets are that deep :-S

That's a great price mate nice score. I've got some 32 gtr fronts fitted they are perfect just after some rears and wondering how to fit the 34 gtt rear calipers I have mate. Out of interest how much though for the 34 gtr's

Ok messaged rudi he says he has r32 calipers all round and they are q direct fit. From what I read that Craig posted is that they will not bolt up to the mounting points as they are different. So my questions are will the 32 2 pots bolt up and if not what r series skyline rear calipers would that are 2 pot sumitomos?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
