Check that info. I think some of it is wrong.

R33 GTR calipers will bolt straight up if you use GTR rotors. R34 will need your hubs drilled out, not a big job, but why pay more for the R34 calipers only to have to mod your hubs. If you are going to do it then may as well throw braided lines and good pads in, otherwise the weakest link could mean a good setup is ordinary

Look up the piston sizes of the calipers..i think you will be surprised...GTSt calipers actually have more piston surface area...so dont worry about the master cylinder. See how it goes, if you find your current master cylinder is dead, or dies in the future then consider you may have to change it. Though personally i dont think you will need to

Well lucky my posts come with a liberal sprinkle of "I think" and "my guess is"

Well that is interesting, the 33GTR brembo calipers bolt on to the 33GTST hey??? I was under the impression the mounting bolt spacing was different. I was looking into a brake upgrade about a year ago and I was sure someone told me they would not fit... damm.

i can tell you 100% it's the same. also the same as 32 GTR, and 32 GTST. the only ones that are different are the 34 GTR calipers but the spacing is the same, just the bolts are larger so you need to drill out the mount holes on the hub.

thanks :(

do you know if the brake lines are the same too?

Nah, nah, nah...sorry. Did what i say read that way...just pointing out that my "thoughts" were different to yours....and trying to clarify that its not a big or difficult job....sorry if i sounded like a twat (thats probably because i really am a twat :mellow: )

  • 7 months later...

so will the 33r brembo calipers i put on my 33t mess with the abs ? will it prevent or allow to much force due to more efficient brakes ?

I mean to add 33r calipers to my setup and have been searching through and found this chestnut. what are the real world benefits ? will they outlast my stock calipers on a track ? I do bleed my brake fluids and I do run decent pads, I also have removed many guards for improved airflow. I can get a full set for 1k, existing pads included... probably shite but will it end up a worse setup or is it the same and essentially end up with pure rice ? improved braking ? the sumy's on the back are bigger than the brembos ? if thats true then wouldnt hte abs sort the extra bias to the rears ?

is this a worthwhile upgrade? sure its an improvement but very minor from what i have heard... there is not a big differerence between caliper sizes so i cant see how they would perform that much better??

Spend your money on Series 4000 rotors, braided lines, and good pads unless you'r just after the rice effect...in which case get the Brembos and chrome plate them so everyone can see :action-smiley-069:

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
