R35 GTR Brakes onto at R34 GTR. Who's done it?

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to upgrade the factory 34 GTR brakes.  Currently i'm looking at fitting a full set of R35 brakes and i wanted to know;

*If anyone on SAU has done it?

*Did they have issues with the brake bias between the front and rear and if so how was it solved?

*Is any modification required to make factory handbrake work with the R35 brakes?

*Who did they get they get to make the mounting brackets (preferably in NSW)?

 

thanks in advance.

I haven't done it but know that there are no issues with brake bias (even on track duties) since you already have the BM-57 Brake master Cylinder on the R34..

You may have to modify the backing plate on the rear that i've highlighted in the attached picture.. Otherwise you won't be able to physically fit the larger rear disc..

The rear handbrake issue is solved in 2 ways depending on which kit you buy and from who...

One is the rear rings that are press fitted into the rear of the bell10666034_818413308189102_5230253162384342326_n.jpg

 

The other option is to have the complete rear bell which are normally sold as part of the adaptor kit.. (Old picture) But you get the idea..

I have done the kit on my s3 R33 Gtr and I also have a spare set of billet adaptors to suit, no problems with brake bias and don't need to upgrade the master, backing plates need to be cut to suit to fit bigger caliper.

Can you provide us with some brake porn sir?

Will the conversion fit behind the oem r34 wheels?

 

no, there are only a few wheel options that will work with 18s and they are the volk racing or rays gtc, ze40, te37s.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
