Hi everyone

I'm in pretty bad need of a new set of discs and pads for my R34 25GT Sedan (N/A)

From what I've been able to find, the Turbo has bigger brakes, so I would assume the pads are also different size?

Can I fit GTT brake pads? Or would I need to replace rotors as well and calipers?

If so besides the rotor and pad what else would i need?

I imagine the calipers would need changing as well.

I don't have performance modifications at the moment, but would be looking to possibly do a turbo conversion late next year, so I guess the next question is, should I replace with standards now, or replace go straight to the Turbo spec Brakes.

Cost is a bit of an issue at the moment as I've also got camber and castor kits on the way to be fitted, and new tyres fairly soon...but I'm prepared to spend a little more to get better results when it comes to safety and handling.

Thanks guys!

Cheers

Nathan

25GT brakes are smaller then GTT so brake pads won't fit.

you will need pads, calipers & rotors.

i dunno if 33 gtst brakes fit but if they do, that might be a cheaper option and more easy to find.

R34 GT (non-turbo) have the same rotors as the R33 gtst, but the pads and calipers are different.

youll have to change something if you want turbo calipers.

unless youre going for the look, Id say just get standard sized DBA rotors all-round, but invest some money is high performance brake pads, and thats all the stopping power youll need. Get some ADR approved braided brake lines as well.

At the moment im upgrading to turbo calipers, rotors and getting braided brake lines put in. I just want the pretty red painted calipers sticking out :3some:

I ended up just getting standard discs on the front for now. I needed them asap so fronts have been done. I still need to do rears though.

Luke, how much would you be looking at for your brakes? What size are they?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
