hi guys, haven't been on here for while but something has come up that you guys my be able to shed light on.

during some research on non turbo models i've come across a variant of the r33 gts that has vented discs on the rear. 266mm by 18mm. to date i believe this model to be named the gts urban liner s (might have a different name in different areas) its an auto (at least the one i know of is) and has the rb20e engine.

anyone ever come across these rear discs before? and more importantly had to source replacements? after much searching replacements for vented rears at this size with integral drum brake are rarer than a Scotsman buying a round of drinks!

any and all help and suggestions would be great.

si

My R34 25GT Sedan had 265mm Rear Discs with single pot calipers...not sure if that really helps you much though :D It was a pain to get any decent discs for them as well, I ended up upgrading the whole brake set up in the end. I was only able to get 265mm in plain non-slotted items. I'm wondering if it's the same brakes that were used on the R34 Sedan.

Yeah, both front and rear ventilated, front were 280mm 2 pot caliper, the rear were 265mm 1 pot caliper.

These were the front 280mm that I had removed:

And these are the rear 265mm ones:

The front calipers:

The Rear Calipers:

Not sure if visually they are the same? Wouldn't suprise me if Nissan used them on more than one model Skyline, and if it's a RB20E than it's hardly going to need the bigger brakes in its stock form (after all these came of a RB25DE R34 Sedan).

If they are the same, then don't expect to find many aftermarket listings for the rear brakes. My local brake shop told me they could get them in plain RDA discs. Getting anything better than that seemed near impossible, and with a turbo conversion on the way I just upgraded them, and saved the hassle for future replacement parts.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
