Brake Upgrade?

[Mr GTS4]

reason why the R34 calipers are taller is because they use bigger rotors...

i think you have been jipt in the calipers.. sounds like there not r33 ones..

x 2

i'm convinced that they are z32 callipers

[-RBD2-]

I was thinking Of buying those brakes

there advertised as r33gtst

if they definately are roo,I'll take them provided I can trial fit before I pay

Chasing pads for our S2 Stagea! I want to keep std calipers. I jacked wagon up yesterday, took a couple wheels off and traced around pards & measured and rotors. I was on bendix website up until not long ago and from what I could find pad sizes match J30 Infiniti, front (db1398) and rear (db1399). Can anybody share or compare part numbers???

When I know for sure what they are, I'll let you know.

EBC do pads for S2 Stagea, chuckie should have the part number, if not I'll ring my mate at RDA and get them.

Actually, they're probably in the big brake upgrade thread.

[pipster11]

qfm make them too

its all in the brake thread

gslralleysports (or somthing like that) who is a sponsor on here do the qfm ones for a god price, get the hpx ones - better than bendix ultimates minus the dust

[Unbalanced]

So after all that I'm still not really sure what will fit my RS4-S, lol.

For pads it looks like the QFM HPXs are the go, but still no idea what rotors to buy

[skidkid]

Does anybody know if Stagea S2 dog bones have a different offset to R32gtr or R33gtst? I want to keep std calipers.

[pipster11]

i think the hub to mounting point dimensions are all the same from r32 to r34

if you wanted to run a different rotor with the stock calliper then you would have to get custom brackets made because i think they run slightly different offsets for the disk

i'd either get high performance pads or r34 brakes tho, brackets are annoying

if you need measurements tho, i've still got my stock s2 brakes in the shed

[skidkid]

So it looks like S2 must have stagea specific front discs and calipers if all dog bones are the same offset. That kills that idea!!

Is anybody making dog bones to suit S2 stagea, std caliper over r33 gtst rotor????

Anybody know who sells a/market dog bones?

WHY 33GTST rotor,

Series 2 use different rotor .

We're working on a solution, I'd like 33gtr sized rotors with stock calipers on my wagon..

Okay. So after doing some searching on the net I've come to the conclusion that any GTR (R32, R33 & R34) brakes will fit and be a nice upgrade... However you need the matching calipers and rotors. Meaning you can't mix and match the Stagea stock setup with any of the GTR setups.

Can anyone confirm this?

I can get R32 GTR calipers, rotors and lines for $700 but I want to know for a fact they're going to fit first...

series 1 stagea - use anything off an r32 or r33 (r32 gtr was only 296mm x 32mm and r33 gtst was also 296mm but x 30mm)

series 2 stagea - use r34 gtt brakes (310mm x 30mm, stock brake lines can be used with the removal of the olive fitting in the calliper) or r34 gtr brakes (324mm x 32)

[Unbalanced]

Just the sort of simple, straight-forward answer I've been looking for.

Thanks Pipster!

The Fit ,Just need to MOD BOLT size,14mm not 12mm With RAF (ruff as f_ck) Spacer .

or re-tap the calliper thread to 14mm and use the bolts for the stock callipers

[Unbalanced]

Hooked up some R34 GTT brakes (rotors, calipers, pads, lines, hubs... aka everything) for $600.

Will pick em up on the weekend and hopefully get em put in next week

Chuckie was being sarcastic.. retapping the callipers is what he did, as opposed to these dodgy people sleeving the 12mm bolts.
