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:

: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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
