I have an r34 non turbo due to p's yeah its slow whatever, i enjoy it. I do not enjot the brakes!

I want to upgrade to bigger rotors as mine are wearing and figured id get some more manly calipers to match.

However, i'm unsure about a few things. Due to my 34 being a GT model to upgrade the rear end i'd need r33 gts25t calipers?

aswell as rotors for a r33 gts25t? as r34 turbo items will not fit? Can I run r33 calipers on the front aswell?

Or do I need to hunt down r34 gtt calipers for the front to run with r34 gtt rotors?

I guess my understand at the moment is non turbs 34's run a similar setup to r33 turbos in the rear in regards to suspension and brakes however the front end is identical to the 34 gt-t?

ie, coilover wise r33 items are a direct fit to 34 non turbos.

cheers nissan gods.

hey mate, you want r33 gtst calipers for the front

this would be plenty an upgrade for you. I suggest just upgrading front calipers with some new rotors+pads up front and put some nice pads on stock calipers+machine rotors on the rear, unless your heavy into the trackwork, this will be superb for street driving :P

- your brakes must be quite worn if you feel theyre bad, my stocko r34 gt brakes are quite decent for the street i feel, there may some good pads lurking in there im not sure? its just whatever it came with from japan.

You got coilovers yet?

Edited by Silver_GT

no no coilovers yet but shall be ordering them sometime in the next month. my rotors have shit f**k all left in them, beyond machining I'd say. Just havn't had the funds to be able to fix them till recently.

I want to go to a few track days in the future so i'm going to go for some bigger than standard slotted rotors all round, despite the fact my car is n/a i'd rather have more braking force than I really require than not enough when I need it.

So the plan is r33 calipers front and rear? Do you know about my question regarding r33 turbo rotors for the rear? cheers mate.

fair enough, i just dont think youd feel the difference upgrading the rear to something bigger really, the front, definantly, just if you were on a budget might be easier to leave the rear as in (with new pads+disks)

I Believe the r33 calipers fit on the rear also, but im not 100% sure, not even sure if theyre bigger than the stock ones? might be something to check out?

I *may* have some genuine buddy club (NOT BC like JJ sell) coilovers fs. (am selling my car and if i have enough interest in parts will return it to stock. As well as camber arms and toe arms (a must have if you plan on lowering a decent amount, to avoid a huge tyre bill)

could be keen shoot us a pm with the specs on them.

The turbo calipers are 4 pot arnt they.

yes the are 4 spot, and they would be an excellent and cheap upgrade. you might need to upgrade again later but the 33 gtst/32 gtr brakes should be under $500 a set.

I don't know about swapability between na and turbs. Assuming they are 5 stud hubs I think you can almost certainly fit pretty much any nissan stuff front and/or rear, but that is not a guarantee

thanks heaps. Yes i'd love to upgrade to gtr items but gts25t shall do for now as when the time comes that i require 6 spot calipers i'll probably buy an off the shelf kit brand new. I figured id pick up the calipers from somebody whose upgraded/wrecked a 33 for a couple of hundred, rebuild them and they should do me well for quite a while! Added with coilovers stiffer front/rear swaybars, new bushes and decent rubber it should handle pretty well in the hills/track days. I plan on keeping my car n/a till off p's so I hope to make gains in the corners and learn good driving technique before jumping into something with flat out balls.

you've got the right attitude, alot better idea than most peoples 'make it go fast' thing. The r34gt can be quite alot of fun even if its not super quick. I'll send you a pm bout the coilovers tomorow when i get home, only got internet on my phone tonight!

just so people know.

r33 gtst calipers do not bolt to non turbo er34's.

they share the same bolt size as turbo gtt 34's.

14mm as opposed to the r33 12mm.

luckily I didn't buy 33 brakes before measuring my own.

So much misleading info here.

All R34 N/A are 12mm holes Except the GT-V version.

So that means R33 GTS-t brakes bolt straight on being a 12mm hole

Also R33 GTR brakes bolt straight on aswell as R32 GTR brakes.

You can fit R34 Gtt/GTR brakes but u need to drive out the caliper bolt hole and get a custom bolt made to fit them (which i done)

Hats off to you sir. I learnt something new - that would be an excellent upgrade :)

I have a R34 GT, and those who have attempted it will back me up, R33 4 pots will not fit.

So to confirm R34 = 14mm / R33 = 12mm.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
