R35 GTR Brakes on Z34

DaveZ03

If you’re gonna ask for information or opinion on a desired subject, you probably shouldn’t bash the members of a forum you’re asking the question on if you don’t like the information provided.

But what do I know, since mathematically speaking, it’s a high probability that I’m in the 95% of owners you previously mentioned. Happy hunting for additional information and good luck down the rabbit hole Alice.

I strongly disagree with that. How many people have access to very cheap R35 parts..? Probably not a lot, hence why it either hasn't been documented, or hasn't been attempted. The spindles alone from the R35s are $1000 each. It very well may be easy and simple, but if its stupid expensive, that single part will deter people from attempting it as it could be money down the drain whereas BBKs like AP racing have been tested ample times on the Z platform.


I'm not bashing anyone, I'm just stating a fact that I'm asking if it has been attempted before, not whether it is a good bang for buck upgrade. Also, I'm not getting information, I'm getting opinions. Information would be giving part numbers, redirecting me to other posts regarding this brake swap, or maybe even a YT video outlining why it will or won't work.

On another note, I found on SPL's website two different parts for the FUCA, which makes me wonder if the control arm from the R35 would also need to be swapped over. Would it then also make the front track wider?

Here are the part numbers for the front suspension on an R35: https://www.courtesyparts.com/auto-p...omponents-scat

The bolt orientation for the FUCA is different (at least in the pictures) of the exploded views above.

Money is not the deterring factor...

You do understand there are many members here that have and will continue to drop large amounts of $$ to upgrade their Z right? Some members to which they could have completed the GTR brake conversion a few times. There are many members on here that won't even blink at a $1000+ price tag for a single part.

You claim to have access to cheap R35 parts. Congrats and good for you. With the money you are saving with access to such parts, go through with your conversion and keep us posted.

LMFAO, you are free to disagree as much as you want but you should not assume that money is a limiting factor as you have no clue to my or many others finance and that we having been stupid stuff with this platform for years. Many of us who are commenting actually participate in Motorsports and try, fail and succeed in finding a competitive advantage regardless of cost. So disagree all you want but you might want to limit your assumptions about those who comment. Obviously if we had information on what you are asking we would provided you with more. Most of us will stay tuned and provide feedback back even if we don't agree or think you will succeed. Why, because talk is cheap and we might be proven wrong and we are good with that as long as it moves the community forward. So if you don't want the strong tone that is coming forward then I would reframe your tone and comments regarding your assumptions about those of us that do possess some knowledge about the Z.

OP, since you have access to cheap R35 parts, why not just build your own from scratch?

What is the purpose of the swap?

From a performance standpoint, there are options that are better for the track (Brembo GT or GT-R, Stoptech). Essex Performance will build you whatever you need with Brembo parts and it bolt right up.

Before going there, though, you need to ask if you've actually exceeding the capacity of OEM brakes. If you're on street tires and bumming around the street you will never touch the limits. If you haven't maxed out the braking power of whatever tires you're on, you don't need new brakes anyways

For "cool" factor, i guess its fine to be able to say you have GTR brakes, but they do not bolt up. Omori Factory makes adapters, but good luck getting those. Z1 strongly implied that are working on a mass production adapter, so you should probably just ask them
