M35 Brembo Brake Coversion

[[[d a n n y]]]

Just finished Brembo conversion on my car

documented some details and so on.

and took alot of pics

Brembos Finally arrived

Closer look at the front.

With the Rest of my stuff

Slotted EBC rotors and EBC red stuff brake pads

Standard Front

Standard rotor vs new 324mm rotors

Fronts installed

The fronts where pretty easy and straight forwards but you must use the brake lines off the 350gt as it will be a straight fit

using the brackets

The rears needed abit of modification on the dust cover and the brake lines needed some custom mountings

dust covers designed for the standard rotors

Had to get a nibbler and modify it

Rear brembos installed

*the standard caliper blots coudlnt be used cuz it had a finer thread u can either use OEM Z33 or aftermarket caliper bolts

nice one danny!!

now, do they clear your wheels???

[bbenny]

So stolked to see that Danny! Its exactly what I have been planning.

Can you give me the part numbers for the rotors you used. Also did you need to to make a mounting adaptor for the rear calipers, or just make room with the dust tins?

Ben.

[[[d a n n y]]]

i can provide you all the part numbers

but only mod to the rear was the dust pan and different bolts

no mods were requiered to fit the rear

price wise would set u back 2.5K-3K

obviously i didnt pay that much for it lol

going to finish off blddeding the brakes today

so ill let u guys know how it feels

Spacers FTW!!! lol

i checked 1 last night

it works

[zei20l]

how wide are the spacers mate?

[iamhe77]

Nice work Danny!

I am sure this is a mod most M35 owners would like to do, so cheers for the info

[zei20l]

is there a chance youll have to upgrade your master cylinder?? else youll be pushing VERY far on the pedal before it grabs. might need to get the master from a brembo equipped V35 (if they are different)

[[[d a n n y]]]

ill get it sorted 2nite

if need it ill replace it

though the OEM 350gt brake lines are steel instead of rubber hosese so it wont have much flex

im only assuming time will only tell (2nite)

[zei20l]

let us all know mate!

[[[d a n n y]]]

btw forgot to tell ya spacers are 15mm

[zei20l]

hmm 15 is too much. should be using bolt on ones for that size............

i might not need anything that wide but ill check with andys car on the weekend

[[[d a n n y]]]

im using hubscentric bolt on spacers lol

i dont trst 15mm slip ons smashing through corners lol

anyhow i think ill upgrade the master as well

[[[d a n n y]]]

pedal feels okay

but not as hard as i would want it to be..

doesnt feel sporty enuff still feels too spongy

[zei20l]

too much pedal movement??? or feel dead?

[[[d a n n y]]]

too much movement..

it's not hard enuff for brembos

[scotty nm35]

too much movement..

it's not hard enuff for brembos

A larger piston master cylinder will help but if your pedal isnt too low, see how it goes.

Have you bed the brakes in properly? Go for a thrash through the mountains and they will feel better after, promise. If not, you might just need to re-bleed.

I was hoping for a better review of the EBC reds...

[zei20l]

yup get the bigger master danny. you might need the pedal distance in an emergancy

[lachlanw]

bigger master will make it feel harder aswell

[[[d a n n y]]]

i havent taken it for a drive yet..

cars still on jacks got problems with the rear spacers gota sort that out
