Hi guys,

need some advice. Im 99% sure these will fit on my car. v36 coupe SP (akebono brakes).. Check ebay link:

http://www.ebay.com....19d447e18b#shId

I wanted to double check before i commited to the purchase so i emailed the seller..

This was the response:

"We dont have anything for the V36 skyline, if the 370z rotors fitted, the RDA catalog would have also specified the V36."

What do you think? So far any brake places ive spoken to dont know jack about the v seriers skylines and im starting to think these guys are the same..

cheers

Tom

thanks clearing that up Ross. I thought ALL 370z's had the big brake setup the same as S and SP v36's?? It seems maybe not the case. According to this ad some 370z's came with a "standard" brake package which these rotors are intended for... I think they might have put 370z on the ad by accident and its meant to be 350z.. I googled the part number and it comes up with 350z/murano...

Sean thanks for the 2c. Not the advice i was after though.. Im not looking at doing bathurst anytime soon. I just want to replace my OEM rotors with same or slightly better without getting raped by the 5 million % markup that perth businesses like to add on. Im open to suggestions if you have any.

there not a no name brand... but they dont fit anyway so forget it..

Do you think Nissan make there own rotors? I doubt it.. If you have OEM rotors is you life at risk because they are a no name brand? Give me something useful or save yourself the effort.

If your V36 is a USDM 2009+ model equivalent, then I recommend the DBA 4000T3 series. They have the 42314S (front) and 42315S (rear) which are a very nice slotted disc and no, you won't get raped if you find yourself a reputable parts supplier. These are listed for the "Infiniti G37 Sport Package (355mm front)" in DBA's international catalogue but they are available locally from DBA so your supplier can definitely order them in. After all, they're all made in Australia before they get shipped to the US anyway! :)

These are the identical discs listed for the 370Z with Brembo brakes.

They measure in at:

---------- Diameter - Height - Thickness

42314 - 354.6 - 49.5 - 32

42315 - 350 - 62 - 20

Do your homework on the dimensions though as I don't see any further data about them, regarding thicknesses, hub heights, etc. I got my V36 only in February this year and I haven't driven it since April so I haven't got access to my FSM from here to see what the Nissan specifications are.

And if anyone challenges what I'm saying about their availability, I'll personally kick their arse. I had a very short argument with my usual brakes supplier because he had a young punk who thought he knew everything and figured I couldn't be trusted. With so many idiot customers out there ruining it for the rest of us, I can't say I blame him entirely but he could've been a little more accommodating. Anyway, when I told him the part numbers, he insisted that I tell him what vehicle it was for. I told him, just to appease him but then he told me because it wasn't in his catalogue, he couldn't order them in. I told him to call DBA and ask them for the price and availability of them over the phone. He refused. I asked for his boss, explained to him what DBA told me when I checked with their sales department directly and all was sorted with an apology.

Yeah thanks for that. I know what you mean, most suppliers cant be stuffed doing there homework about different models. Unless its a Crappadore, forget about it..

Its funny you mention the DBA 4000's they were my next pick.. Ive seen a lot of good reviews on them and they actually come up cheaper then buying stock rotors from nissan.

I rate the DBA 4000 discs wholeheartedly. I had them on my Maxima with a set of EBC RedStuff pads and they were fantastic. I even have them on my BA Falcon wagon, though it only gets the Bendix Ultimate pads.

The DBA and EBC RedStuff take my abuse very well, unlike my previous combination of DBA 4000 and EBC GreenStuff. That resulted in the pads only lasting me about 13000km and warping the front discs from overheating. :P

Yes, I am a spirited driver. Once my pads and discs need replacing in my V, I'll be whacking in EBC RedStuff and DBA4000 discs in, for sure.

Cool. so what rotors from DBA would fit my 2007 V36 (2008 G37) S? It also has the bigger Akebono brakes.

Is there any difference to the 2009 model?

As it is the 2008 G37 equivalent, it will use the same discs according to the DBA catalogue (it says 2008+). Again, I would advise you look up your FSM though to be sure the dimensions are the same.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
