hey guys im looking into getting front and rear brake upgrade cause mine arnt the best and i was wondering wats out there with out spending like 2gz? is there a difference between r23gtst and r32 gtr brakes? or can r33 gtst brakes fit because i think brembos will be to much money. the cars only for street so i dont need nothing to crazy

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 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 :)

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
