Sorry. To clarify. Its near impossible to buy GTR rear calipers by themselves. When you do find them they are normally about the same price as fronts. However, there are often full sets of fronts and rears for sale at reasonable prices. So im hoping someone who wants the frotn Brembos to team up with me and we split the costs, and both benefit on a reasonably priced upgrade :(

Sure, but you have to come and get the, :)

Yeh the R33/34 GTR Brembos are also 4 piston caipers, just like the R32 GTR calipers. The calipers have differential piston bores, meaning the leading pistons are smaller then teh trailing pistons to help even out pad wear and pad temperature. The pistons of the R33/34 calipers are also slightly larger the the R32.

So thats the caliper difference, the added rotor difference is that you go from 296 x 32mm to 324 x 30mm. Though you will find that almost all R32 replacement rotors are 296 x 30mm .

OK, I will have a think about it, but don't wait for me.

I was thinking a brake upgrade, this might be a cheaper way to go, won't be as good as getting 6 spots with larger slotted disks or something like that though.

Provided you have the rotors and calipers they are a bolt on upgrade. If you still ahve the std stne guard that has to be removed to claer the larger rotor. Most ppl make do with tehst dbrake line as well.

Price...who knows. im not selling them, im just tryign to get someone to go in with me to split up a set. For the fronts you will be looking at around $1000-1200 including rotors. Though who knows how much meat will be left on the rotors

I thought std R34 are 300 rear and the V-Spec (II?) are 322mm rears?

that's what the DBA catalogue says...

PS zac the car is NICE

Correct, but last time I looked DBA didn't have a 322mm rear rotor for a BNR34. The 350z rear rotor is 322mm though.

Speaking of BNR34 brakes, I have a full set for sale with Project Mu HC+ pads and nismo lines... :)

This man is right :P. Mine definitely weren't 322mm when I had them. The was for the V Spec II's only. No idea why though - they were already over braked in the rears with the smaller rotors....

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time.

      My BMW 335i

      This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins.

      Was the car running before he touched the car?
