Well, around $1200. http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=19203&cat=&page=1

There was another place doing them slightly cheaper, but I can't remember who.

No worries at all re; loan, perfectly understandable.

I don't think R33 shocks would fit at all; they're a fairly long shock with a coilover spring, whereas the Stagea uses a fairly short shock and separate spring.

Finally found some time to put my brakes on. Big thanks to Scotty for fabricating the spacers - they worked a treat Removed the restrictor as directed, but the line wouldn't fit oddly.. so still h

Yes there is no need if u do that. My logic was the original m35 calipers that the factory banjos screw into don't have an olive and the lines aren't designed to be used with it in. The reality is it

Hi all,


Apologies for bringing up an old thread. I've recently purchased r33 slotted rotors and r33 gts-t calipers to fit to the ARX. As far as I've read, it should be pretty much a straight swap with minimal modding required for the fronts. Hopefully these items will be delivered by the weekend so I can put them on, but I just wanted to check prior to fitting, what I should be expecting?

-The calipers have a restrictor in them which can be removed by screwing in a self tapper and pulling it out? This is so the m35 brake line which is 2mm larger will fit, no worries. Is this correct?

-I also read somewhere I may have to machine off a few mm off the hub? Or was this only for GTR32 rotors to fit?

-I was planning on putting the rears on as well, but is the mount different for the calipers? Can someone please confirm this? :)


Currently I have a set of BBS rims, so there should be plenty of clearance. If not, I have 30mm spacers I can put on for back up.

Cheers in advance!

33 front callipers will fit but the bolts are M12 and the stock ones are M14, so you will need a tube spacer which I can make if you need it. You will also need to remove the restrictor so the banjo will go all the way in. There is a good chance you will need to grind a little off the bottom of the hub or it will grind when you go around corners.

The rears won't fit as the spacing is completely different.

Thanks for the info, Scott. Damn, so there's no chance on hooking up the rear r33 rotors & brakes then. Anyone wanna buy some brakes off me? BEST PRICE! :)

OK so what are the other options for rears? DBA Slotted Xtrail rotors & HPX pads? I won't be tracking the car or anything like that.

Also, one more question.. Can anyone confirm if r34 gtt rotor & caliper will fit? I thought I read that somewhere here a while back, but can't find it now. Just seeing what my options are as the brakes look puny - I feel I need to fill the space!

They fit perfectly, but you will have to trim away a portion of the dust shield, as it contacts the disc rotor.

They make a great upgrade over standard, they are what the car should have been fitted with from the factory.

Or the other option is to use a 3mm slip-on spacers put between the hub and disc. Also use the same thickness washer between the calipers and the carrier. No trimming or grinding and looks factory. That's what I did.

Thanks for the offer, Benny, but you're too late! Scotty has jumped in there first and I already have them en route to Sydney. Got a bucks on this weekend, but will try and get around to installing the brakes this weekend if not too hung over :)

Finally found some time to put my brakes on. Big thanks to Scotty for fabricating the spacers - they worked a treat :thumbsup: Removed the restrictor as directed, but the line wouldn't fit oddly.. so still had to remove a few mm. Strangely enough, removed the restrictor on the other side - and it went straight in with no problems. So I figure I must be retarded or something. All in all, still have to bed the pads in - but big success.

I apologise in advance for the vulgarity of the red. I wanted to spray them a dark bronze instead, might do it later when the red grows old.

Shiny new!

Excuse the touch up over spray. It'll get dirty soon enough.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
