R34 N/a Discs / Pads - Standard Replacements Or Upgrade?

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?

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
