R35 GTR Brakes onto at R34 GTR. Who's done it?

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to upgrade the factory 34 GTR brakes.  Currently i'm looking at fitting a full set of R35 brakes and i wanted to know;

*If anyone on SAU has done it?

*Did they have issues with the brake bias between the front and rear and if so how was it solved?

*Is any modification required to make factory handbrake work with the R35 brakes?

*Who did they get they get to make the mounting brackets (preferably in NSW)?

 

thanks in advance.

I haven't done it but know that there are no issues with brake bias (even on track duties) since you already have the BM-57 Brake master Cylinder on the R34..

You may have to modify the backing plate on the rear that i've highlighted in the attached picture.. Otherwise you won't be able to physically fit the larger rear disc..

The rear handbrake issue is solved in 2 ways depending on which kit you buy and from who...

One is the rear rings that are press fitted into the rear of the bell10666034_818413308189102_5230253162384342326_n.jpg

 

The other option is to have the complete rear bell which are normally sold as part of the adaptor kit.. (Old picture) But you get the idea..

I have done the kit on my s3 R33 Gtr and I also have a spare set of billet adaptors to suit, no problems with brake bias and don't need to upgrade the master, backing plates need to be cut to suit to fit bigger caliper.

Can you provide us with some brake porn sir?

Will the conversion fit behind the oem r34 wheels?

 

no, there are only a few wheel options that will work with 18s and they are the volk racing or rays gtc, ze40, te37s.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
