id just go for some R32 GTR or R33 GTSt calipers and rotors... its only a 16mm bigger rotor or so but theres not much else you can really do without spending big bucks on 33 or 34 GTR brakes.

prefferably go for the 33 gtst brakes as they came out with brembo's. better than the sumitomo things on the 32 GTR.

33 gtst are the same sumitomo that are on 32 r

33r is brembo

^^^^^

Agreed. At least try that first before spending big.

Pulling mine down to every component, cleaning all the gunk out, replacing seals etc, then putting them back together with a quick lick of paint and some new rotors/pads did wonders for mine. And the paint added another 10kw, undoubtedly...

33 gtst are the same sumitomo that are on 32 r

33r is brembo

33 GTS-T is not same caliper as 32 GTR .. Both are made by sumitomo but both are a different caliper

Upgrade to 33 GTS-T calipers with slotted rotors and decent pads

if found the 32gtr brakes perform alot better, have installed a few r33 gtst brakes on some friends cars, none brake as well as my car and my car is heavier than most, imo pay a little bit more and get the 32 gtr brakes, im also using lucas pads, they are semi-harsh on discs but stop very well and are cheap as a full tank of fuel

Would expect the 34 to pull up better with 310mm rotors compared to the 32 gtr n 33 gts-t 296mm . So the 32 gtr brakes work better then the 33 gts-t ?

sorry i forgot to mention my car is an N/A chassis from factory, has been converted to a det motor and driveline.

i also upgraded the brakes to r32 gtr brakes, stock rotors (296mm) and lucas pads and yes, ive found them to perform better than 33gtst calipers, probably because of the larger pistons?

also id just like to say, dont bother rebuilding the calipers if they arent leaking or siezed, it will not yeild any performance gains.

I've had 32gtst, 32R and 33gtst calipers sitting next to each other and didn't notice a difference in piston size O_o

The only thing I noticed was that the 32R calipers were lighter and the 33gtst looked stronger (more meat in certain places) than the 32gtst and 32R.

Made me strip down 2 calipers to check .. both same size here :blink:

Also my Project MUs are ok

I'm running 324mm slotted rotors, 33gtst calipers, DS2500 pads, braided lines and a master cyl. stopper.. hauls up alright :thumbsup:

Trying to figure out how to fit similar on the wagoon.. adapter brackets don't want to fit on the 4wd hubs :)

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
