C33 Brake Upgrade

[Vinesh]

k so i have a c33 with a rb25det

stock brakes work fine. they are 4 disc but i want more stopping power any suggestions?

and what lsd diff should work in my c33 thanks

Typically you can take 5 stud hubs off skylines and the brakes fit in any case. You can use any s13 aftermarket or r32 gts if you want to stay 4 stud.

preferably i want to go with a s stud. i heard the r33 would work but exactly what parts would i need from a r33 to make this work

I'm doing R33 this weekend.

You'll want the 5 stud hubs, the rotors, the calipers and the brackets for the calipers to mount onto.

They'll all fit into your C33 knuckles, then you dont have to worry about re-drilling anything for coilovers.

As far as I know A31 and C33 turbo models use S13 SR20DET brakes, so the banjo bolt on the calipers is smaller than the R33 calipers, so you'll probably need to take the brake lines as well, I'm pretty sure the R33 brake lines are longer, so it shouldn't have any problems reaching.

Im chucking those 33s on today, they're definitely a better package.

The rotors are bigger, thicker and ventilated at the rear's as well.

The calipers are big, two piece and don't need a bracket like the S13 / A31, they just bolt straight onto the knuckle.

Front calipers are 4 piston, the rears are 2 piston, so they'll definitely go better. If you want MORE stopping power, get some of those 12 piston brakes of the of top of the line McLaren's

I think these things will have no drama's slowing even an RB25/26 Ceffy, considering how much lighter they are to the R3x Skylines.

The front hubs from a skyline won't fit.

If you want 5 stud, you'll need to use S14/15 front hubs.

Alternatively, you can just have the rotors redrilled to 4 stud. I chose this path when I put R33 brakes on.

My a31 cefiro is waiting for 5 stud upgrade with brakes from c35 laurel. Should be bigger then my stock and not that old =)

As long as you aren't planing to use the hubs from the C35 on the front of your A31.

Why not?

EDIT: I used the complete front spindles from a C35 with my S14 calipers and rotors. They fitted with a little bashing of the dust shields and slightly shortened bolts that bolt the caliper to the knuckle.

Not sure if the C35 hub can be pressed on to the stock S13/A31 knuckle.

Well i'm still no good at "car related" terms in English, but after googleing the names of the items u referred i think i'd try to explain what's comming ^_^ Conversion is going to be done by a "service", so as the ordering parts was done by them. I think it will be new knuckle, spindles, hubs and breaks of course =) So its more like a "complete set" of c35. Will see, should be here around next week i belive, will post up info once its here and done if you'r interested.

Sorry, for some reason I was thinking C35 would have double wishbone suspension, but now I remember my mate telling me he put S14 coilovers in his C35...

The hubs can't be swapped onto the spindles unfortunately as they are different diameter.
