You might be able to use the rear rotors of a R34 vspec 11 or 2001 on R34 GTR?, as they both run the larger rear rotor 324mm by memory,maybe machined down to suit

These bolt straight on to R32 and fit the existing handbrake,I have them on mine

When i was looking for rotors I'm pretty sure DBA dont sell the larger rears and Projectmu were the only option

Also while you can use tin snips to trim the guard I used a 100mm grinder with a thin cutiing disc.I wouldnt let a 9 inch anywhere near my ally hubs,those things should need a licence to use :)

Ronin what needs to be done to get the 350z rotors to fit?

You are making sense Ronin_09,

I guess they only way to really tell is to trial fit with a 316 x 20 rotor (if they exsist, I can't be stuff checking just now) to see if it fits...

Anyway, for those that are interested, below is the pics of the inside of the rotors.

BTW, front rotors have piston diameters of 40mm and 34mm and the rear rotors have a piston diameter of 30mm.

By way on comparison:

Bremo as fitted to R33's etc: 44 & 38mm dia pistons front, 40mm rear.

Sumitomo as fitted to R32's 40.4mm (all the same) front, 38mm rear.

So there is not much point using these WRX Brembos as they are too small in piston dia.

ronin's rear brakes are the 33/34 brembo calipers with Biot 3 piece rear rotors. fking awesome sexy piece of gear, but not for the light of wallet! I should know I sold it to him. :down:

ronin truly is the asse of biot:

So i guess that's pretty much /thread, but is upgrading the rears a wank anyways? Risking told me that even with the standard rears and something like 360mm + chunky calliper at the front, he still has too much rear brake bias on his race car (or is that a special case)...

I have heard that too,yet no one seems to complain about the bias on the std 32 brakes and the rears are bigger than the front.

Bit of a strange question but how do you pronounce Biot?

Is it buy-ott or Bee-ohh :woot:

thanks

I am going to revive this thread as I have recently purchased a set of 05 STI callipers (front and rear) + rotors and will adapt it to my R32 GTR.

I will try to detail everything from additional parts to issues (and solutions) with installation and labouring costs which hopefully will help other people going down the same path.

I think this can be a successful alternative to purchasing other brembo brakes such as the R34 and R33 GTR brembos.

I am running 17inch BBS LM wheels with standard sumitomos but not for long.

Watch this space.

I also have a 94 R32 GTR and was wondering about fitting STI brembo calipers to the rear of my car. I have new rear Nissan Brembo rotors (300mm) and thought I could use those with the STI caliper, but reading this blog maybe not?

I hadnt thought of using STI calipers on the front. They certainly seem to be cheaper to buy than the equivalent Nissan Brembos.

I have new 328mm rotors for the front as used on the V Spec, so was looking for a dogbone that would allow the use of the standard GTR caliper with the upsized 328mm disc - does anyone know if these dogbones are available any where?

However if the STI calipers will go on the front with say a 355mm rotor that would be good. Please let us know how you go

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
