I have just got some 2 pot r33gtst rear calipers to get rid of my sticky old sliding ones. I want to at some time get r33gtst ( or 34gtt if they will fit straight in with the standard 16" wheel) front calipers. Will I need to change the master cylinder then as I will have twice as much piston area or so?

The backs I can probably live with even though that will be doubled too so the braking will not be at such pressure but not the fronts.

Is the r33gtst master cylinder different to the stagea series1 one?

i recall somoene did some calculations on here and the front 2 pot calipers acctually had bigger area than the 4 pots . i think poeple are also running the stock mastercylinder with 4 pot set ups and have no problems

I have upgraded my S1 to GTT brakes all round. I was looking to upgrade my mastercylinder from the Stagea's stock BM50 to a BM55 but they are hard to find second hand and very expensive new so I haven't bothered. My brakes are fine. A bigger cylinder would in theory give you less travel and a harder pedal but it wouldn't make you stop any better.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

      All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
