Even the Humble GTS 1 and 2 even had brake upgrades though. I am a firm believer in stopping power as well as pulling power. My Turbo R31 with 215 RWHP had the brake and suspension upgrade before I even drove it as a turbo car. Now 215 RWHP is not a lot by todays standards, but the standard suspension and brakes I believe are just not up to the job. GTS struts (Import or local, they are all the same), and some decent pads is all you really need for anything up to 200-250 RWHP.

i put a set of hr31 import struts, rotors and calipars on my GXE and it made a would of difference, i did use new rotors, pads, reco'd the calipars and master cylinder too though :)

i have a set of re-drilled r32 gts-t rotors and 4 pot calipars waiting to go on once the rb25det goes in this weekend, i'm looking forward to that stopping power....and the pulling power.... :)

go rb20det its a straight bolt up! the only wiring you have to do is temp sender, tacho, a plug on the passanger strut tower. then get an exhast piece made up that goes from teh turbo to the cat and get a mod plate

also you dont have to do the brakes, but for your own good do it as the standards are not very good (i have no idea why nissan used them in the first place)

rb30et is a piece of cake and gets quite good figures.

As for brakes, I run R33 gts-t 4 pots, tt300zx slotted rotors and custom pads.

I used to regularly do track sprints with a 170rwkw rb30t on stock sized brakes with EBC green stuff pads and xdrilled rotors all round, they did a pretty good job for what they were on the track.....but a spirited down hill drive through the mountains left em worse for wear!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
