There are alot of options. Your best bet is to get onto r31skylineclub.com and do some searching.

good or you can ask me i got a 31 too.

im going to be doing a R33 gts-t brake up grade very soon (just getting cash).

you will need the following:

R33-gts-t calipers (there 4pot and will be wildly avalerle here at sau)

R33 gts-t disc (req DBA sloteds)

custom made brake lines (req braided) there is a company that does them that are adr aproved.

r31 gts or HR31 stuts (lower 1/2) this is because the caliper (on r33 ) mounting points are futher apart then the r31 items.

all up could set you back a $1000-$1500 depending on how much the struts and calipers cost.

the brake lines are apx $200 a side.

chears brentt

p.s. you can then fit 6ot brembos if you have the cash

yeah. thats how i did mine on my dr30 rs. (same strut) machine off the disc to make it a hub. then i used a dba 330mm commodore disc (blank) got it drlilled to suit.

same as the above kit but i needded 10mm spacers to achive the corect offset for the caliper/disc combo. and this all fit behind 16's looked cool. just all brakes behind em :laugh:

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
