M35 Brakes

[Jetwreck]

Another bit of FYI on rear R32 GTR calipers.

Tried the rears on last night and although the rotor fitted the caliper has totally a different mount....bit of shame as it looked to be an easy and cheap upgrade.

bit more of an update....forgot to add this....you will need to machine off about 2mm of the hub.....don't worry it does not affect anything.....but if you don't do it it will rub against the rotor.

The front Brembos off 350Z, V35 Skylines will fit without any mods at all. I trial fitted them when I took off my Brembos from the Zed.

The rears im not sure 100% but my guess is that it's possible.

For a good used complete set of Brembos, you're looking at about $2500-2800 including calipers, rotors and pads. Im considering upgrading the brakes next.

Did you ever confirm that the 350z rear brakes fitted the M35?

This is on my list of upgrades once I start working on the driveline.

On my list as well... once I start working a second job!!

I'm doing this atm with R33 GTST Calipers and R32 GTR discs. The bit you machined of the hub..you are refering to the rectangle protrusion on the alloy part of the hub?

The Banjo bolt that you linished 1mm from to fit the brake line...did you do that so it seats inside the caliper and seals? Or could I just use a couple of extra copper washers to space it out?

Fit the rotors up....you will see where it hits......thats the area you need to remove. As far as the calliper goes I wouldn't use extra washers.....if you look inside the calliper where the banjo goes in there's a small restrictor.....you should be able to remove it by screwing a self tappers into it and pulling it out.

if you get stuck give me a buzz

cheers

Thanks for the quick reply Craig! Whats the go with the restrictor in the stock calipers do I use that with the R33 calipers? Or do you mean remove the restrictor from the R32/R33 Calipers?..so the Banjo seats correctly? Am I on the right track?

Yes, remove the restrictor in the R32/R33 calipers so that you can screw the standard M35 banjo straight in.

When you look into the point where the banjo screws in you will see the reducer just sitting in there. Comes out the the described method.

Otherwise you need to cut off the end of your banjo that has a restricting end.

Got it!

So no need to linish 1mm off the Banjo bolt if I get the restrictor out?

[scotty nm35]

No linishing the bolt for me, just remove the restrictor.

I didnt have to remove anything other than the stone guard to fit the disk so best you chuck the disk on and try it.

Hi Jules

I do not know the size of the rotor but they are the same as the V35. The part numbers are the same. The brake pads are also the same as the V35/G35. (confirmed this with Ben).

I am looking at getting some Hawk brake pads from the US for front and rear. Just waiting to confirm the cost of rear pads.

Cheers

Andy

Hey Andy do you Know the (DB)code on the back brake pads and that of the service brake.Thanks Cad.

If you get the restrictor out, you don't need to linish the banjo.

It is one or the other.

not sure what you mean by DB code? The Hawk brake code is HB30F.559 (rear)

It is unlikely you would need to replace the pads on the service brake. They can be tightened up with the wheel removed. There are instruction on how to do this in the G35 service manual.

Brand new Gold Brembo's for 350z, brought 3 years ago but supposedly never fitted to a vehicle.

Pick-up only and they are in Victoria.

Fronts only though Steve

Sorry about that, I only scanned through it quickly I thought it was the whole 4 corners.

I have R32 GTR disks and they foul on the hub arm. I would expect the R33 GTST 30mm will be ok. 32gtr is 32mm

I have the R32 GTR rotors on my M35 and they fit perfectly.

I had to remove a small raised section on the lower side of the hub arm, about 2mm thick and the size of a regular dice.

Yep, looks the same here. I'm going to finish mine off tomorrow...wooho!

Ok my supposed R33 Calipers turned out to be 300zx items suited to 280mm disc's so a real pain in the butt as I now have to get a refund and source some more. They were the finned type and the legs on the calipers were considerably shorted...my guess about 16mm 296-280.

Are the legs on the R33 GTST calipers definately the same lenth as 32 gtr?
