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.

thanks. i have a few quotations to come in yet. i will let you guys know how i go. GGTTRR, did you look at any other rotors? ie brembo alcon etc? why did you choose the ap rotors?

    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way.
