He was probably one of those hotted up hyundai driver who kept getting owned by skyline before, and decided to swap his car then now trying to get his revenge back...

price wise front R34 GTT & R34 GTR is the same but the rear R34 GTR is the same as the front (in slotted) and the R34 GTT is cheaper at the back. R34 GTR front 324mm rear 300mm R34 GTT front 310mm rear 297mm It's only 14mm difference at the front, it's probably not worth mocking around with caliper adapter and stuff for such a small upgrade. Unless you have an R33 gtst with 296mm front then some people upgrade this to a gtr front as there is more difference in size at the front.

no it's not stupid question. it is possible, but the onus lies on you to fabricate or get someone to fabricate caliper adapter or finding an adapter to suit. mind that R34 GTT rotor's hat height could be different to GTR, so the position of the rotor might be different and you may need to consider the repositioning in addition to the diameter difference...

I have a JDM V35 dealer brochure, hard to figure out as it's in japanese but I think it is optional item, as I've seen premium leather example with and without steering wheel audio control

if your local (i'm not saying all local don't do logbook servicing) do logbook servicing and cheaper then you better off taking it there.... cos the ones I've been taking mine to when I had R33 is basically only oil change

Mind you that the $500 labour I paid for is not done by Nissan. it's done by a local brake shop. Nissan may charge me more. When I did my RWC at another mechanic who charged me about $100 to swap 2 front brake rotors and brake pads, on top of the rotor & pad cost which estimated around perhaps $600-ish plus. That is because he knew I worked for his old school mate so there is some mates rates applied there. The thing is you can spend $150 for each service at your local mechanic, but what they do is probably just change the oil for you. At Nissan you may pay premium price e.g. $300-400 but they will replace things that would not have been touched at your $150 backyard service, such as the washers in your oil drain plug, brake pedal adjustment, hand brake adjustment, top up your washer fluid, and any other small things owners are too lazy to replace themselves. Perhaps you can keep the cost down before bringing in to Nissan and replace wiper rubber, top up your washer fluid etc and tell them you've done all that, so they only do the big jobs, ie engine oil change. Whenever my car came out of dealership service, the brake pedal, handbrake etc all felt like it was brand new, very responsive. Whenever my car came out of a small workshop service, what they do is only oil change and I know that as I only paid for about $120 alltogether. So I could be driving my car for 100,000km and not knowing that my brake hose may have cracks and require replacement, or that the washer in my oil drain plug is worn and I'm loosing oil slowly. That's the difference. I know it cost a lot, and it's your money they're charging, so up to you if you think it's not worth paying a Nissan engineer to put your car on a hoist and charge you $150 labour just to look at your undercarriage to see any hoses may have deteriorate every 10,000km - then you can just do $150 engine oil change at your corner shop until the day you sell the car. Now I don't pro Nissan dealer and I don't work for them, but there are things that the big dealership do on their service schedule that are not done by some small mechanic shop. and then there's that resale value - not sure for imports, but my wife's old corolla had full Toyota stamp dealer service, and that helped the resale value a bit and gets buyers very interested when they see the service book. It cost her $400-500 per service every 3 months when we used commute 80+ kms a day... so yeah, that's a $2 grand a year maintenance cost. Cars can be cheap to buy but they are not cheap to own...

Well if your front brakes pads and rotors need replacement then nothing much you can do unless you can do it yourself. That price sounds reasonable considering that's retail price. I'm in VIC, I serviced mine at City Nissan dealer as well. Cost me $600 for them to do major 50,000km service including tranny oil flush and replace, they also cleaned my new brake pads & rotors which were still making noise while bedding in when I upgrade the brakes. I paid $500 in labour for my 4 set of brake upgrade (brembo calipers, 324mm front & 322mm rear, redstuff pads all around) and that is not including the parts for the brakes. Parts for the brake could easily be $1000+ for all 4 corner and that is group buy price, NOT retail price. Expect higher for retail price. So in total I have done almost $2000 for major 50km service and replacing all 4 corner of my brakes and brake pads.

I have no experience with it, but I googled skunk2 plenum spacer and this come up http://www.g35driver.com/forums/reviews/92...-spacers-2.html

I read that although skunk2 may be easier to install but skunk2 spacer is 5/8" instead of MD which is available in 5/16" or 1/2". since the skunk2 is higher than 1/2" with the engine cover on it actually rubs the bonnet a little bit... fine if you want to leave the engine cover off but you may get signs of scrubbings on your plastic engine cover.

I'm not even sure if I wanna join in, gotta stash up some money's as my fate on my current job might get decided over the next few weeks... Sounds like another corporate downsizing exercise is coming... But for you guys I found this instruction how to install them yourself... if you don't want to send the car to a mechanic.
