Hello people.

Im picking up my 93' GTR on Friday.. I sure this has been covered before, but I just want a quick answer :laugh: I know the standard brakes are crap, but basically what is the best option as far as quality and value for money for an the upgrade & also what brake pads. Also where would I buy it from? I live in SA and car will be .. enthusiastically driven, no track work at this stage..

Cheers

Jon

well the standard brakes aren't that bad for road use really. As long as the caliper is working OK (no pistons seized etc) all you really need to do is put some good fluid in and bleed it properly. If you have trouble after that maybe throw some better pads in there.

If you want to upgrade the brakes althogether you are looking at $2-6k

Depending on how much you paid for the GTR, you may have to sell the car to pay for the brakes :)

But i would look at the rotors condition first. If they are still the std cross drilled jobbies i would replace them with new rotors, put a new seal kit through all four calipers and run good pad and fluids.

For the road they will work more then fine. If you cook your brakes on the street and you have covered the basics then you will be dead in a day or two so may as well leave some money to your family :)

There are quite a few threads that discuss the R32 brake upgrade issue...also have alook through the old for sale threads as there is always a bit of "will it fit this" type of stuff discussed. As well as the discussion of adaptors for standard calipers top bigger disks in the suspension section

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
