I'm just gonna say..."in" and see where this goes....it could be epic win or epic fail. But right now the thread definitely has epic potential.

 

Those brakes look a lot heavier than the 350z versions, is that not going to pose a problem?

 

How about before anyone does ANY fabrication, someone does some brake bias calculations to see if this is even worth the effort in the first place

 

This is a very good question, although i dont think the op really cares. none of the really important ?'s have been answered, I think he just wants them on the car. Still interested in how all this will pan out.......

Sadly I see a "Full R35 brake setup FS" thread in a few weeks after trial and error shows its going to be a huge headache. But as it has been said before, someone's got to try it or nothing new would ever happen.....

Good luck!

 

While I completely agree with your thought process, it is kind of too late for that if it hasn't been done already as the money has already been spent. OP might as well modify the car to make them work.

Edit: I'm all for having rare stuff no one else has but even I... It doesn't really matter what I would have or have not done, OP best of luck to you.

 

QFT!!!


Good Luck, keep us informed!!

 

Good luck!

I'd love to drool over these in person when you're done.

 

Well good thing is he got the front and rears. Depending on the master cylinder bias differences inbetween the two models, he at least stands a good chance at a decent ratio.

 

Let's see if we can get the templates done tomorrow. fingers crossed.
I rummaged through all the boxes, everything looks perfect. Down to
the brake lines.

 

Checking in.

I'm digging your project, can't wait to see some progress

 

The car is going to be in the shop in early July for a week. We did a test fit
and ran through the issues today. I will post some flics later to give you guys
an idea of what we're dealing with.

 

You guys have no idea how insane this setup looks in person. It's nuts.


And here are the pics from yesterday:

 

Think you could throw the calipers and rotors on a scale (separately) before you put them on?

I would also be interested how heavy the caliper bracket ends up being (did you say you were using aluminum?)

 

in for final pics

 

Thought the bleeders were supposed to point up - so air in the lines would come out easier when bleeding the brakes.

 

Good eye. Those are the passenger side calipers being installed on the driver's side. I hope bracket dimensions weren't based off of that installation setup because that would be "no bueno."

 

Yep, you need to remeasure everything for the brackets. Or you could just get the Rotora setup

 

We were not able to do any real template work... I only brought one side
to determine placement in relation to the existing mount points. When the
car gets dropped off in July there will be a full fitting and install.

If we can't make it happen I can abort, however everyone involved thinks
it will go smoothly.

Edit - Appointment has been made. Let's see how this plays out. Anyone that
is interested in brackets thereafter... Will likely be able to source them through
yours truly. The rears are more complex than the fronts.

 

i love development threads

 

me too... i have "high" hopes...

The fastest "stopping" car in the southeast...

hahahaha
