hey guys,

just a quick question, ive got a 93 r33 gtst that ive had for about a month. apparently the guy who owned it before me replaced the brake pads with bendix ones pretty recently.

however when i go to come to a stop and press down on the pedal the brakes kinda feel like they grip for a second then slip out and roll then grip, then roll and so on.

this results in the car "stuttering" to a stop and its quite annoying especially if im braking on a downhill.

now my question is... what is casuing this? uneven wear on the pads? is there any way to fix this? will i need new pads? could it be from a bad wheel alignment?

thanks for any help

If you take the rotors off yourself, its like $5-10 per rotor. Make sure when you re-install them that the mating surfaces are completely clean, ie shiny metal. Any crap between these surfaces will also give you a shudder.

No need for new pads.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
