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.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
