Hey,

Just continuing my existing discussion about will the group buy brake lines fit my R33 GTR I've taken a few pictures of what my brake lines and rotors actually look like.

I'm getting the feeling they might not be standard size, can anyone help me by confirming?

I did some measurements but wasn't sure what to measure, anyway what I have is:

Front

Overall rotor size: 33cm

The disc part of the rotor (the silver part) 5.5cm

The centre section of the rotor - approx 19cm

Caliper length: 25cm

Rear

Overall rotor size: 31cm

The disc part of the rotor (the silver part): 4.5cm

Centre of rotor: 18cm approx

Caliper length: 17cm

All the measurements are approximate of course.

I have a lot of pictures because I'm in a rush, just a little worried that the brake lines I bought don't fit, and I'm unsure if the pads I bought are correct.

After the pic of the second disk they are all the pics of the rear rotor and lines...

Regards,

Gareth

best to measure the whole disc diameter. standard is 324mm with 30mm depth.

most likely they are standard size discs. also if they are larger than standard the calipers will have some sort of adapter between the hub and the caliper to space it out

But I did measure the disk, it was roughly 33cm, so 324mm sounds about right.

And the rear rotors, I assume there standard size as well?

Disks are Project mu, lines look standard, front are the scr pro 2 piece and rear just sloted

Thanks a lot for the info, if the lines are standard than the braided lines should fit, I just can't see how :blush:

I'll look at getting someone else to install it if I can't work it out.

I can't see what your problem is. The braided kit only replaces the 2 rubber hoses, the standard steel hoses remain.

On the front, the block bolts to the upright.

One braided hose (from memory the longer one) goes from the block to the inner guard where it joins the steel tube at the right angle bracket on the inner guard.

The other braided hose (from memory the shorter one) goes from the block to the joint for the steel tube that goes to the calliper.

On the rear, the block end of the braided hose bolts to the steel hose that goes to the calliper.

The other end of the braided hose joins the steel tube at the right angle bracket on the inner guard .

Sorry about the multiple threads, I was trying to make it easier for anyone who was searching for info on the same problem in the future...

Ok, the problem is what 2 rubber hoses?

I only have one from memory, although the pics make it look like there are two rubber hoses, so I will confirm again tomorrow night.

Anyway, here's some edited pics I have uploaded.

BrakeWest has advised that the rear looks lines look different to normal, do most GTR's run a flexible hose directly to the caliper?

The guy at BrakeWest has offered a full refund or if I can take my lines off he will try and make some that match, is it still a good idea to get braided lines?

Oh, rear rotors are stock size so I should be fine for pads :P.

Found out the black lines which I was calling "rubber" are actually Japanese braided lines, they're just really dirty.

I'm getting some custom lines made up to fit in here that are ADR compliant and getting a refund from BrakeWest.

BrakeWest's customer service skills are excellent and I'd certainly buy off him again, its just that someone else has offered to do some custom lines at an extremely cheap price :P

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
