Hey guys,

Need help! I am doing a brake upgrade and its driving me nutts!! The plan was to go to R34GTT brakes.

So far I have:

GTT QFM Pads front and back

GTTRear Calipiers

GTTRear DBA slotted Rotors 297mm x 30mm

Braided lines being custom made

Now the problems:

I bought R34GTT front DBA Slotted rotors of ebay for $299, they arrived and they are R33GTR Rotors 324mm x 32mm

Can't find front GTT calipiers.

Question:

Will the 324mm x 32mm Rotors work with R34GTT Calipiers (if I can find them) which normally have 310mm x 30mm???

I have 17 x 9 rims so space is no problem.

I have look though whole site to find but I can't see any info on this specific combo.

As it happens GTT front rotors are friggin hard to find also.

If the gtt calipers are designed for 30 mm thickness, then they will probably not be suitable for 40 mm gtr disks

I may be wrong here but I think the R34GTT are 310mm x 30mm and the R33GTR is 324mm x 32mm so it would be 2mm difference

regardless, without caliper adapters you will not fit those disks under an r34 Gtt caliper. I would suggest getting some r32gtst calipers and caliper adapters and keeping the rotors and pads. It's the cheapest way out now.

I didn't have too much trouble finding gtt rotors. but i spent 3 times as much as you and got 2 piece project mu gear :)

I would prefer having R34 fronts and rears if possible and if I have to get caliper adjusters either way I may as well get em.

Or just sell the slotted 324mm's and get 310mm's

I don't know, I'll try to find out how much for adjusters 1st.

Thanks heaps for the info

the gtr rotors will not fit the gtt calipers.

i did a brake/rotor upgrade on my r34 n/a and i was going for dba slotted all round but i could only get the rear, so i had to rda and at the time they didnt make 310mm (gtt size) rotors, so i had to get the 324mm rotors, being the gtr ones.

we tried to fit the gtt calipers with the 324mm rotor but they did not fit at all, the caliper was rubbing against the rotor! so in the end we ended up machining the rotor down to 310mm.

hope this helps :)

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
