am looking at a minor brake upgrade and trying to decide weather to got the UAS 343MM BIG BRAKE KIT FOR NISSAN SKYLINE GTR or the STAGE 1 BRAKE UPGRADE KIT FOR SKYLINE R32 GTR.

anyone using either?? just wondering will they both work with standard R32 GTR caliper and will they both fit under a 17" rim

cheers

They wont fit the 17" rims, best get a set of 18" rims then can go up to 360mm, if your going to spend the money then do it properly.

I was looking at the stage1 upgrade (324mm discs) as I wanted to keep the 17's I have.. any thoughts on these compared to using the 296mm stockers?

Old thread but I didn't want to start a new one.

I am looking at doing the above and was wondering if anyone has compared the two - 324mm with spacer vs 296mm stocker?

On the kits I have seen bigger brake pads are used to suit the GTR caliper that give greater rotor coverage. Anyone heard of this before?

Are these adapter kits more prone to crack the DBA 4000 rotor with track work?

Cheers.

I'm running 327mm discs with dogbones and 33gtst calipers on my 32, barely fit under the 34GTT rims I had.

Those discs with Ferodo DS2500 pads was a hell of an upgrade over the 296mm 33 discs and Bendix pads I had previously.

Thanks.

Have you tried the 327mm set up with the same Bendix pads for a direct comparison? Just trying to work out if the pads made most of the difference or the increased rotor size.

No I didn't, I got the dogbones and rotors for a VERY good price and decided to put some decent street/occaisional track pads in while I was at it instead of reusing the old noisy bendix pads.

old thread but saves me starting a new one :laugh:

im interested in the UAS 324mm front brake upgrade for the r32 gtr.

does anyone have any pics with that size rotor with standard r32 gtr caliper ?

obviously the caliper wont be making the most of the entire 324mm disc as that caliper isnt deep enough ?

anymore info/advise/pics would be great !

cheers

Do a compare & contrast between the pads on the Sumitomo calliper & those on the Brembo. You will be amused by how similar in area they are....

Did the 324mm upgrade on my 32GTR. Loved it, didn't fade like the 296mm setup and had better pedal feel.

I had no problem with the inner area not being used. I used this setup with brake deflectors to improve cooling of the discs.

Pitty it wouldn't fit under the stock 16's :P

I used project mu ns pads.

Pics of mine.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
