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.

Noob.:P

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!

ok i lost all the info i put together and had to do it again :( LOL

same sized brake pad for all R32/R33/R34 and 350Z with the brembo's....

R32 GTR disc is 296x32mm with height of 54mm

R33/R34 GTR disc is 324mmx30mm with height of 53.8mm

P.S. Alex(PN-Mad) now has me thinking....I am really going to have to take off my wheels and check the rotor thickness...not admitting defeat yetph34r.gif!

I don't get what the concern with brake pad's is .....you have ????? brakes on your car.....ring a brake place tell em I have ????? brakes and what pads do you have to suit!

meh... 2mm isn't too much to worry about anyway...

war have been fought over less...:pirate:

lol :teehee:

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.

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.

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.

use the AP big break kit for a 350z nuff said

Ap are up there as one of the best they make break kis for F1 for fs sake

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.

to be honest, i went with number 10] got some slotted rotors, and good qfm pads.

mine stops fine. and l can still get ABS on fine.

my theory is, if i change the brakes, and know that I can start braking alot later to stop, i'll over calculate and put it into a wall lol.

where as now, i know i have to stop a little early - i concentrate more.

+ me and scott were discussing this, and i rarely rely on breaks anyway

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.

Scott you never stop lol

The way your car is lowered you've probably lost the ability to stop it anyway :P

On a serious note with the standard callipers and rotors + only Nismo pad's I found the brakes pretty good! The R32 GTR Calliper and rotor set up was definitely better.....the Brembo's were better again....have yet to test braided lines!!

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
