When i did my converstion, everything just bolted straight on. I did need to slightly bend out the protective metal which goes around the rotor.

When I fitted 33 GTR Brembo's onto the 32 GTR

I needed:

longer brake line hose approx. 30mm, went to Pirtek to get them made up

300 mm rotors

caliper mounting bolts are a different thread, any bolt place will have them. Make sure that they are Hi Tensile steel (8.8)

brake line and brackets are the same.

Hope that helps

PS. I changed the brake seals aswell for peace of mind.

yes i did :D but you had a bracket and steel lines to fit your larger rotor, while i was doing yours i never checked to see if the brembo just fits with minimal fuss. Just didnt have the time a work, its organized madness. how is your beast sounds like you need to try some changes with setup...

Markk- so the 300 by 22 rotor and brembo caliper fitted up with the same bolts from the 32 with all the steel hoses also from the 32...

nice one thanks for the info, just unsure of the size and pitch of the bolt. is it 8.8mm by what pitch.

8.8 is a Hi Tensile bolt rating. The thing is to take the caliper to the bolt place and they will find the correct bolt for the caliper.

Everything bolted right up...

But having said that, I am assuming (and could very well be wrong) that 32 gtr Vspec brembos are the same as 33 gtr brembos.

      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.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
