I assume you have the standard 320mm brakes Nick?

I do indeed mate... With the twin piston calipers. Not like the 350GT Sedan which came with a 330mm disc, but only single piston calipers.

For sure; you talk sense! This is where I wish I was more hands-on myself If only they had the sense to make the nav and stereo a simple swap

I'm guessing the Nissan Fast version (which is also available to download with similar limitations) that this site uses for decoding vin numbers was never updated, it is after all a free website or pr

What parts? Discs? Pads? Both?

You didn't take a wheel off and take some measurements to double check? I always do that on the first purchase when it's something that's not as commonplace as a Fa(i)lcon or Bomb-o-dore.

If there's one thing I learned as a student from my first boss in the broadcast business, it was "measure twice, cut once". Now you've learned the same.

You are right. The 330mm discs were for the older beasts whereas the 2009 sedan got the 320mm instead. The only theory why I suspect 330mm might still be an indicator is because in the US, the base model coupe had the larger 330mm discs in their 2009 model but the sedan still got the 320mm. That's not to say that their years lined up with the JDM spec though. Unless I got the wrong information, I found that my 2009 model, though built in Dec 2008, was released as a 2010 model in the US.

Problem is, I'm trying to look up the current DBA catalogue for further confirmation of numbers but they've severely trimmed down the Infiniti options and there's not as much detail as there used to be. It only lists the sports package, which is 355mm front and 350mm rear - that's what I have on my coupe.

It's odd, given that DBA still list discs for the G35/V35 but cut down the G37/V36 to just the sports package size in their catalogue. Curious stuff.

Well I assumed they are 320mm as ordered... will double check tonight. Mechanic didn't say; just said they don't fit.

Clearly I put too much faith in people who I assume should know this stuff. To be fair I guess they're a hard car to get parts for.

So frustrating

Ask him to measure that the disc rotor on the car so you know what to buy next.

It's just a matter of doing the homework. I've given up on trying to track down the older DBA catalogues I thought I had on file. Here's what I've found in the 2010 G37 Sedan workshop manual http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/G37/Sedan/2010/BR.pdf (Nov 2009 revision of the manual itself):

  • Front Caliper 2 Piston and Rear Caliper 1 Piston type:
    • Front rotor outer diameter - 320mm x 28mm
    • Rear rotor outer diameter - 308mm x 16mm
  • Front Caliper 4 Piston and Rear Caliper 2 Piston type (in other words, the sports model):
    • Front rotor outer diameter - 355 x 32mm
    • Rear rotor outer diameter - 350 x 20mm

Again, it's worth taking the time to take a wheel off and measure it for yourself to confirm or get your mechanic to measure it up for you while he's at it but it's safe to say that if your mechanic said they don't fit, the discs you got in were too big.

Screw that! I've always been a firm believer in people helping themselves and if they do end up slipping in their own shit, then I'll step in to help out, knowing that they tried.

This is why, I might be a search-Nazi when people ask the same question over and over again but I do practise what I preach.

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
