There is no certain way to just tell if they will fit. You can either take a wheel and fit it on a gtr you find to see if it fits, or lay the brakes down inside the wheel and try that way.

We can't say offset of + 20will fit, because it's mostly about the spoke shape. They will fit over the brakes ok, it's just the spoke clearance you should check.

Good price too.

+1 to alex

nothing to do with offset, all about back space

also, your looking for anything R34 (gtr or gtt)

i got mine through this guy

http://stores.ebay.com.au/Skyline-spares

was really cheap too (compared to what some ppl try and flog them off for (i paid $330 for calipers only)

So I guess the $300 I paid for R34 GT-t calipers, pads, clips, shims and an untouched set of rotors is pretty good then... :banana:

Hi All,

Does anyone upgraded the brake calipers on a NM35?..im looking just doing the front calipers, anything should be better than the standard single pot. Would the R32gts-t 4pot a straight bolt on? and would my standard rims fits? Theres alot of threads for brake upgrades on early Stageas but not much on later series2 NM35's. Cheers guys.

dont know about the GTSt brakes, but GTR brakes through the range bolt on. Some need collars on the bolts . cant remember which.

no, standard wheels will NOT fit on after an upgrade, except AXIS rims. and yes i have seen R32 GTR brakes under AXIS rims.

Pretty sure the consensus is that m35's have 14mm bolts like r34's so I'd go that way

Stock r34 gtt brakes are 310mm x 30mm

Gtr brakes will be slightly bigger at 324mm x 32mm but cost a fair bit more

Brembo rotors are 324mm x 30mm, not 32mm.

The only Skyline rotor that is 32mm wide is the R32 GTR with Sumitomo calipers (296mm x 32mm). You need to go to the Akebono 355mm rotor to get a 32mm wide rotor.

That's why I abandoned my original plans & went looking for R34 GT-t brakes.

For a daily driver; I couldn't see the benefit of spending a shiteload of cash to buy rotors that I then had to modify anyway, just for a few extra mm of dia.

I'm sure the Brembo's are pretty special; but for the dollars, they'd want to be.

@Daleo,

Hi, did you just upgraded the calipers from an r34gt-t? Im hoping just to do the same, dont want to spend too much on an upgrade.

What are you planning on doing with the car? If it's just going to be a road car, plenty of us are happy with slotted rotors and decent pads. My brakes didn't give up at Mallala last time I was out.

@Daleo,

Yep, not fitted yet; being stripped, coated & rebuilt atm.

Definitely one of the easiest bolt on upgrade without the expense of going Brembo.

Look around, it might take a while, but they come up cheap from time to time.

Well im not planning on turning the car into a racecar, it will be just a daily driven car. I felt the front calipers needing a little bit of beef, rather than a single pot. Its just me not wanting to spend too much on big brand names.

    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers)
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
