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?

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
