PN-Mad Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Stock- 296 x 24mm fronts R32 GTR non vspec - scotty is very right - 296x32 R33 GTR - 324mmx30mm taken from dba. don't know about minimums. There are some dodgy discs out there for sure. I'd say 2mm wear and its time for something fresh.

Jetwreck Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Noob. You measured yours...? guess what they are... I checked the thickness when I put em on and before I bought em.....but next time I get a wheel off I'll check...pretty sure they are standard R33GTR...not the V-Spec! http://nisoctt.forum...-up-information Edited March 22, 2011 by Jetwreck Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/288150-m35-brembo-brake-coversion/page/4/#findComment-5724839 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PN-Mad Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 meh... 2mm isn't too much to worry about anyway... war have been fought over less... lol Let me summarise for wagon boy when upgrading brakes you can do the following- 1)better quality original size pads and rotors 2)commercial big brake kit for G35/Z33 3)Z34 Akenbo kit ex US 4)r32 GTR conversion / possible upgrade to 324mm 5) z33 Brembo conversion 6) R33/34 Brembo conversion between everyone here, all those have been done. std wheels won't fit- you need aftermarket. most people worry about the fronts but not the backs. All will cost different $ depending on what you decide.

WAGON_BOY Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 std wheels won't fit- you need aftermarket. ive got the AXIS 18" rims im sure they will clear the callipers or is it the offset thats wrong??? cos i have a custom 324mm disc with RX7 S6 4spot callipers on my 808 wagon and i run a 16" rim.

PN-Mad Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Offset- the side of the 4 pot will hit the spokes- the diameter of the wheel is plenty big enough. easist way to check - put a wheel on a z33 with Brembos or a R3* with Sumitomos We know arx rims don't fit, my s2 17's dont fit - that being said, I don't know if ppl have tried the axis rim.

scotty nm35 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Why anyone would need massive kits like those on the street I have no idea, best to keep the rotating weight down. I can get abs to kick in with my little toe with just 295mm disks. Good slotted rotors and a good set of pads is what you want, braided lines will improve the feel. I got my r32 callipers for $300, the full set.

Sunkist Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 by no means sell the brembo's.. you already have most of the stuff(or the more important anyway) might as well just do it. however, i honestly do think that the BC's and Sway bars are more important - but thats me, i rarely rely on the brakes, and when i do. they stop fine. the single piston is big enough.

The R32 GTR Calliper and rotor set up was definitely better.....the Brembo's were better again....have yet to test braided lines!!
