Brake Upgrade

[playaz]

Hi Guys,

Had a quick question regarding upgrading the stock calipers (single piston) on my V36 Skyline to the twin piston stock calipers I have linked to below;

These are the single piston all round calipers I have right now;

Thanks for the help!

I fail to see the question....?

You need a question mark in there somewhere buddy.

Ah yes thought I missed something, was wondering if they would fit?

[PN-Mad]

They should bolt on, nissan have been using the same pattern for a couple of decades, but the rotor size might be different. You'd have to check the rotor sizes and offsets between the models. Realistically, they don't sound like a worthwhile upgrade. If you want to upgrade, go to the 355mm akenbo or whatever they are. But you'll need bigger wheels to fit them too, see the circle here...?

You might just want to throw some slotted discs, decent pads, and high temp fresh fluid at your setup.

Akebonos go on but you need a 19inch rim that will clear the huge calipers. Theyre massive.

Pressuming you have a non premium (non brembo) you could upgrade the fronts to R34 GTT turbo brake which are 310x30 over the standard 296x25 (feel free to correct me guys im half asleep haha) and leave the V35 rears and do what alex said QFM pads and DBA T3 rotors all round and some fresh high temp fluid.

From what i have been told (doing it soon myself) and read the GTT brakes are awesome and an inexpensive option compared to brembo/akebono

Interesting the V36 went back to a single piston front calliper and smaller rotors than the stock V35 S2/3.

Yeah they cheaped out and went single piston front and rear, I've decided to go ahead and go with the twin piston fronts I've got rotors to suit from DBA so all should be good

Ok, just make sure you get some decent pads. Like Remsa or Qfm HPX.

Don't use the stocks.

if they are larger diameter rotors, you may need to replace the rotor shield too.
