rebuilt std calipers are the way to go. ive got 32 gtr caliper on my 32 gtst, and they stop on a dime. Tyres are my limiting factor, as i can lock em up pretty easy. Even on slicks i could lock em up if i wanted to.

Seriously you dont need brembos to have good brakes. Unless you are racing every week....?

Which leads to the q, why do u want big brakes?

Havent been talking to Roy have we? :)

Unlike some non-believers he has an RB20 under the bonnet, and with all that power from the rev happy race engine...you need HUGE brakes.

That said, R34 Brembos are good things, but not at the prices they command 2nd hand. You can get new AP 4 pot calipers which you would assume are likely to be more rigid, allow the use of a bigger rotor and are cheaper to boot.

If you can find R34 GTR Brembos for $1000 then great, grab them. But if you are paying more then $1500 (normally advertised for $1800+) thn i would be looking at some 330 x 32 mm rotors and AP 4 pot calipers

im wanting to upgrade my brakes on my four door 32 to somethin pretty huge!!! im thinkin bout a r34 gtr brembo brake upgrade. anyone got any tips ideas on anyother option, aftermarket brakes or anythin really .thanks

stock 32 gtr wheels fit over 33/34 gtr brakes. verry good. take alot of abuse before the get red hot.

have to linnish the high points on the caliper to fit them. easy to do with a file or belt sander :lol:

thanks for the advise!!

im gonna be honest i know the standard brakes are awesome i got the endless brake pads in and they couldnt stop anybetter..... my cars goin through some major chhanges including some big open mags... so basicaly its more a wank feature i like the look of the big rotors. dont want these aussie boys out doin us

:P Remember bigger brakes may also mean you have to go bigger wheels which mean more $$$$$ .Depends on your budget but Race Brakes Sydney may help ring them on02)9609-1101.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
