Which rear twin piston calipers run the 14mm bolts as against the 12mm R33 rears.

I tried to swap the R33 calipers to the rear of my M35 & found the bolts too small. (12 >14mm) Looking for a cheap upgrade for the rear brakes.

Are the R34 GTR rears running the 14mm bolt ?

I think someone on the forum makes a sleeve for the bolt so that they can run other brakes?

I make the sleeves, but that won't help you run the 33/34 rears on your M35, they have a different spacing and won't fit without an adapter bracket. Either just run the fronts, with the stock rears, or find some 350z Brembo rears, as they bolt on.

Hello everyone I'm selling my Brembo brakes they come off a 350z so they bolt straight onto the m35 they come with brand new dimpled and slotted rotas and brand new bendix brake pads for 1300 if you have any inquiries don't hesitate to contact me on 0412638517

I'm in the process of installing R34 front calipers coupled with 300mm DBA Rotors.

The standard M14 bolts off the stagea fit but were only grabbing 1/3 of the thread so I ordered R34 bolts.

When fitting the calipers up I noticed the were fouling on the front of the rotor.

I believe I am missing the spacers that slip over where the bolts fit.

have you got a pic? do you just mean the bolts are too long and go through the hub and then all the way to the disc? If so, replace with a shorter bolt (any bolt shop should have something to match, even Bunnings might), just make sure it is grade 8.8 or higher

Having trouble loading pics atm, bolts I have are fine in length.

The part that is fouling on the Disc is the inside/front of the Caliper where the disc feeds into it.

There is like 5mm clearance for the disc when I mount the calipers.

I'm starting to think I have mismatched the discs.

? 5mm clearance is not fouling!

Hey Bob, I just re-read my previous post.....5mm should be plenty 2.5 mm either side, if the rotor was centered with the caliper, but thats not what I'm getting.

The inside face of the caliper hits the front face of the rotor, it doesn't sit centered like it should.

All the pics of R34 calipers I have found dont show any type of spacer like the standard stagea calipers. The spacer fits between the hub mount ahd the caliper where the bolts fit.

Anyways, gonna give it another try this week end, maybe I don't have the rotor pushed in far enough, I'm thinking if I fit the wheel and tighten the wheel nuts it will bed the rotor as far in as it will. Remove the wheel and try fitting the caliper again.

Yep it really sounds like you have the wrong disc for the caliper, ie the offset of the disc to the hub is incorrect.

If it is out by a mm or 2 and I couldn't return/replace the discs I would space it out with a washer (in fact the d2 kits come with shims for that purpose)

Thanks Duncan, I originally thought about doing this but the washers I had were way too thick.

I'll have another dig around in my 'random stuff' box and see if I can find some thinner washers to suit & hopefully post up some pics for good measure..

OK, so I have confirmed I have the incorrect rotors for my caliper set up.

I was originally told the calipers were R33 calipers and with this info ordered rotors to suit.

I have since found out that the bolts are M14 indicating they are R34 calipers........DAMMIT

The rotors are at best 300mm x 30mm - the pads only partially cover the disc.

I need 310mm x 30mm, time to dig out the invoice and see if I can return them and swap them out for the correct rotors.

Very frustrating seeing as the stagea has been on stands for over 2 months now, I just want this done so I have a car while I get the mazda's issues sorted.

Looking like at least another week before I get this sorted

    • Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU
    • You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?
    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
