M35 Brake's

[dalton]

is there a kit out there to fit the mn35 , or does it share the same brake kit as a difrenet car like the v35 ?

check here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...kes-t82083.html, it answered all my questions, i've got r33 gtst (sumitomos) 4 pots and gtr discs on the front of mine but as they were on it when i got it i couldn't say if they were a straight swap.

[scotty nm35]

Not a straight swap but close enough. R33 gtr have the same bolt pattern but require a small spacer and a sleeve. R32 gtr just require a sleeve.

The M35 uses 14mm bolts and the Sumitomo's run 12mm bolts.

The braking doesn't feel much stronger, just more consistent and they don't fade like the stockers. Also performance pads are easy to find.

Or get some 350Z brembos. See Danny's tutorial here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/M3...p;hl=m35+brembo

Pretty simple upgrade as long as you have wheels big enough to fit them.

I Just picked up a set off ebay and will be doing the same conversion next week when they arrive.

Cheers,

Ben.

This threads a bit old.....if you want to go bigger R33 GTR rotors and callipers should bolt straight up as well

Hi Scotty ,where do the spacer & sleeve go & how do you overcome the bolt size problem?Wish to try this upgrade so I need all the wisdom I can Get

Thanks Cad

I used my lathe to spin up the spacer tube so it fits over the 12mm thread. It has to be 1mm thick, 12mm internal and 14 mm external. 12mm long I think. From what I have seen the r33/r34 gtr will also require a small spacer between the calliper and mount also, the r32 gtr callipers I used didn't, the disk was perfectly centered in them.

Scotty are the 33 & M35 disc's the same thickness? Thanks Cad

Im not sure what the r33 disks are but the r32 gtr disks are 32mm. The M35 disks are about 20mm thick.

Put your tool away, no need to show off

M35 fronts are 24-25mm thick, R33 are larger than R32, so will be much thicker than the standard M35 discs.

K Sport do a 6 & 8 Pot kit for them. . pretty straight forward. . .but cost is around $2400 a pair. . use Brembo rotors for replacement and various pads like hawk and ferodo . .

A & B motor sports and others do them. . here in Sydney. . just google k sport and you will see options. . they are the V35 skyline ones.

Well I have my 33 twin pot front callipers and crossed drilled slotted 32gtr disc.Wish me luck cause I will probably need it. Appreciate your help. Cad

[dalton]

thanks for that the v35 are about £1200 in the uk

What wheels do you have Scotty as the 33 callipers hit my standard wheels

[scotty nm35]

17 x 9 inch Driftek's, (+30 I think) they fit like a glove other than the fronts hang out half an inch.

The rim clears the curved brace under the coilover by 3mm and I have 235 45 17 Kumho KU36 tyres. (speedo is out by 11 ks at 100.) Highly recommended.

Hey scotty dont want to appear stupid but will the offset stop the rim from hitting the R33 upgrade callippers or is it the shape of th basket on the rim.

[scotty nm35]

No dish for me, my spokes come right out to the rim lip. The offset will help but i have a couple of inches clearance.
