XS is cross-drilled. No need to go that far. You're not driving a V8 Supercar around the track. Besides which, cross-drilling adds another point of weakness, in which you get fracturing at the holes.

Just go slotted only (T3).

Thanks for the advice tony, i know you said u went through rocket, is there a SAU sponsor or someone reputable to buy them through and what sort of price would i be looking at ?  Ive measured the disc, but would prob want some sort of return policy rather than just going cheap of ebay

So how big are they? If they are the 330, then there is a very limited choice of discs that fit. If they are 320, then a much wider choice.

 

 

Mine is 330mm by 32mm thick. 2007 skyline sedan type S

If they were the same spec on a USDM Infiniti, it'll be available in Australia as well. That's how DBA operate since they manufacture them here.

Nearly available....

DBA have them in the catalogue now, but not quite in production. I have an order in with Brakes Direct in QLD for DBA 4000 T3. On contacting DBA directly, I was told that they had nothing suitable... Apparently Brakes Direct have been following up with DBA for years and the penny finally dropped that these are a standard G35/G37 disc too and so it now becomes viable.

If you're ordering by specifying the vehicle, sure. But, if you do the homework by matching the specs from the workshop manual to what you find in their Aus or US catalogues, it's never a struggle.

Never mind. I see what you mean. I was curious, so I figured I'd trawl through the USDM catalogue and of all the discs reported in it, they're all the 320mm spec for a G35 of that vintage, irrespective of Sport, AWD or base model sedan.

Not even a single 350Z variant has 330mm and this is from their current catalogue on their website (admittedly, dated 2016).

I shall go back to eating my humble pie.

They exist!! Even look to be the correct size!!

Timing could have been a little better as the car was at the mechanics being serviced last Monday... :D

    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
