Hi all, first up, i don't have a 35 Gtr. I have recently purchased a some 8 piston brembo calipers that will accept up to a 380mm x 34mm rotor which is the same as the ones on your vehicles. I have asked nissan and they won't sell the rotor's separately from the hats. The best price i can get is 1200 per rotor and hat! I will need custom hats anyway, so this option is of no use to me. I don't really want to use gtr Brembo rotors because of they tend to crack due to being cross drilled. I know a lot of the 35GTR owners dont want to pay top dollar for nissan/brembo rotors and hats because they can buy rotors much cheaper elsewhere. My questions to the R35 owners are

1) What are you using? sizes, pcd, specs etc.

2) What did they cost?

3) Can you use the standard R35 Brembo/Nissan hats with the other brands ie ALCON, AP RACING (do they have the same pcd as the standard rotors?)

4) Where can you get them?

I would prefer a big brand like Alcon because i know they should be on the shelves here in oz. PWR are the distributors and they are just down the road. Or can you suggest something that is readily available?

I will see you my R35 cross drilled rotors cheap if you like. no hats though

send me a pm if interested

otherwise I have AP rotors. they are great

cheers handbrake,

i noticed you had them for sale. little concerned about the cracking issue though. did the hats from the brembos bolt straight onto the ap racing rotors? from memory the ap rotors are 378x34 right? how much did you pay for them? where did you get them from? why are you selling your brembos? what do they measure now?

will get the calipers out and check the rotor thickness. took them off because they are worth so much and i am tracking my car regularly.

cracking is only an issue if you are tracking the car.

they are the stock r35 rotors off my car.

You can get AP rotors from Vsport or The Tuners Group for around $830 per rotor

These are direct replacement for the OME and they work very well on track. I've done about 6 track days on them and they are still fine.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
