V36 Needs New Rotors.. Will These Work?


Recommended Posts

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.

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
