Unless your getting a really good deal just do the front and put something like a CSC kit on it.

Very cost effective upgrade and if the car doesn't do that much track work the rear isn't that much of an issue anyway.

It's not just as simple as T04GTR suggests, the R32 front spindle uses M12 bolts to bolt the caliper on where as the 350Z calipers use a M14 bolts, what you need to do is drill out (not recommended unless you know what you are doing) the holes in the R32 front spindle to suit the M14 mounting bolts. As far as taking the high spots of the caliper be careful because on the caliper there are bridge seals close to the OD of the caliper, too much grinding in the incorrect place could cause a fluid leak.

My old Brembos went on a mates GTSt and its wasn't too much of an issue to put them on, we did need to cross over the Brembo bolts as the GTSt ones were too short... would be a similar issue with normal R32 GTR calipers.

GTR Brembos sound a lot easier to put on than 350Z ones.

If you want to make them fit under OEM 16s, you'll need to remove a good 3-4mm to ensure enough clearence and if you keep it to the centre ridge you wont strike a leak.

All that said, the Brembos and 324mm rotors are a really good brake for the lighter GTSt, but pathetic for the heavy GTR as the 324 rotors are just too small and will warp if really used.

    • Coming home late at night and driving past the police is the only reason i need one haha And yeh, definitley needs a switch to quickly enable it, dont have time to be getting my phone, opening an app, waiting for it to update etc before being able to make the change
    • Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?
    • Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example. 
    • I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary   
    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
