Standard Brake System For R33 Gtst After Something Different - Pls Help!

[Babylon]

Hey Guys,

I wanted to know is it possible to get a 2 piece caliper/2 piston with a sliding plate system setup for a R33 GTST. I currently have the standard calipers for a R33 GTST which most of you are aware is a 1 piece caliper with 4 pistons.

Any feed back would great.

Cheers

just use the na ones

you would have to use the smaller disc but

orrr use v35 skyline gt brakes (the povo version/non brembo) im pretty sure they are a 298mm disc so the calipers should bolt up

i dont want to change my disc's if i dont need to the issue is i want to change my standard calipers to a 2 piston setup and not lose any braking power just wanted to know if that was possible.

why???

and the GTT caliper is two piece and bolted together... as are all skyline 4 pot calipers

oh i c so techincally its a 2 piece caliper

can i get brakes for R3 GTST with 2 pistons?

WHY? what is wrong with the 4 piston ones you have? moving to a sliding caliper is a bad move.

Beer Baron that’s exactly what i think

The reason i ask guys is that my Break Squeaking issue has come up again.. and ive taken the car to 2 brake\clutch specialist

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...topic=73439&hl=

1st has advised that i need to replace my discs but cant guarantee the noise will go away and to be honest I don’t want to spend $800 on a issue that “may solve the problem”.

2nd has advised Slotted Discs will not solve the issue. Noise might get even worse.

My uncle the mechanic who is helping me with this has different opinions he believes its the callipers that are causing this issue he wants to see if I can get different system to the standard one Basically im trying to prove him wrong.

What state are you in. The Nissan 4 pot caliper is superior to any twin piston sliding caliper, dotn even think about it, it will be expensive and a drop in brake performance.

Next move is go to another brake place. If the rotors are true and above thickness then leave them be. Any brake guy worth his mustard will get rid of the squeel for far less then what you have quoted for replacement rotors...it shoudlnt be difficult...just need an experience brake guy to spend the 60 mins to fix your problem

Let's see, there are around 4,000 Skylines in Australia and over 2 million in Japan with this style of calliper. Miraculously you are the ONE with brake squeel that can't be fixed.

I don't think so Tim.

cheers

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, people, but this is my understanding:

The whole reason for using more pistons in a caliper is to get more braking force through greater surface coverage when you apply the anchors, more friction, and (as a by-product) more heat transfer.

Reducing the number of pistons acting on your brake pads means less even wear of the pads, and most probably the discs, as well as more potential for disc warping (depending on the size of the pads in relation to the pistons).

Thanks guys that’s exactly what i assumed i told my uncle that im down grading my brakes by doing that

i just needed a confirmation.... im in Sydney West.. im just going to take the car to another Brake place someone that is actually willing to put time into the problem (any recommendations?)

Thanks again
