R34 Brembos On R32 Gtr

[Deano 1]

hey guys

im looking at buying a set of 34 brembos for my gtr. ive done a search but theres so much shit i cant seam to find just the simple anwsers i need.

1. will i need to change the master cyl to cope with the biger pistons??

2. the fronts are just a matter of driling out the hole in the hub to 14mm??

3. my braided brake lines will just fit straight into the brembo cails and just a matter of bleading them??

theres more,

thats just all i can think of atm

cheers Deano

I'm in the process of putting 34R V Spec2 brembos on my 32R.

For them to fit you can drill the hubs out to 14mm but it would probably be better if you just get some inserts installed on the caliper so that it is the same as your hubs. I forgot the size and thread type of the 32 hubs but I have it written down somewhere at home.

You can choose to keep your standard brake booster or go a 34R one. The 34 is bigger and will give you better brake feel. It will bolt on, the only difference being that the plug for the sensor on the 34r booster is different. This is easy to modify for it to work though.

Your 32 lines will fit straight onto the 34 calipers.

Remove your backing plates when you install your calipers.

Hope this helps.

buy a R34 GTR ! thats the easiest way .

[Deano 1]

but i dont want a r34 gtr... i want a r32 gtr with bigger than factory brakes..... if i wanted a r34 gtr i would buy one....

Problem is they really are not "that" much bigger/better.

Certainly not for the price people want anyway. Putting better rotors/pads/fluid/lines onto the factory set-up would be significantly better than a 2nd hand set of Brembo's for around the same cost or less.

Pretty certain you can get a 330 (or 325)mm rotor under the Sumi's - Roy has posted a few times about it.

Just something to think over anyway

Cheers Nismoid I'll think about what u have said

Cheers Nismoid I'll think about what u have said

Have a look at the UAS upgrade packages... They move the caliper (r32 or r34) out and use a larger rotor. Along with fluid and pad upgrades you'll be golden.

There's not much point just upgrading the calipers without larger rotors.

You may have to upgrade to a 34gtr master cylinder for the 34gtr front calipers... I believe (don't quote me) the 34 master cylinder bolts up.

Dont waste your time with R34 GTR calipers if you have an R32 GTR. The R34 caliper is from a performance perspective identical to the OE Brembos fitted to the R33 GTR and R33 GTR. SO why buy an R34 GTR caliper which requires you to mod your hubs when the R32 and R33 Brembo GTR caliper are identical and bolt on?

As for master cylinders, dont stress. Lets assume you have the Sumitomo R32 GTR master cylinder in your car. That means you have a 25.4mm master cylinder.

The Brembo spec GTR brakes are paired with a 26.9mm master cylinder, but unless your R32 has ABS it makes it pretty hard to retrofit on your R32.

There will be no difference if you just run your std master cylinder. If you ever have a failure of the master clinder then it could be worthwhile investigating installing the bigger master cylinder, but I dont think its needed to make the install work.

thanks Roy, ive got a brand new Master cylinder in my car, it was put in not to long ago. My car was NOT fitted with abs from factory as its a Nismo edition.

thanks for all the heads up guys ill look into the UAS kits too. im in no hurry as my brakes now have brand new AMR1 pads and Brand new RDA sloted rotors, braided lines and are all in good nick.

^^ Yeah.

I too was thinking about R34 GTR Brembos, but realised they are similar to the R32 and R33 GTR ones.

So Deano 1, I say you just find a set of R32 or R33 GTR Brembos and should just be a straight bolt on fit...

I am in the same situation, on the look out for R33 GTR Brembos.

[Deano 1]

seams to b alot easyer to find r34 brembos haha, just double the price.

[DVS JEZ]

just keep the stockers deano, you dont drive hard enough to need bigger brakes... LOL you pansy

[N1GTR]

With the exchange rate as it is, just buy a bolt on kit from USA

[Chris Rogers]

more info on the US kit. I was looking at R34 until I found hte differnces. R33Vspec I know will bolt to what I have , I was chatting to a fellow a few day back with them under a 32 GTR.

haha but big brakes are sexy

nor do I but the one time I need to stop in a hurry I will be able to..

Question with this mod:

Will the BNR34 Brembos fit under the stock 16" wheels?

I also have a set of 17" LMGT4s, will they fit under those?

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

You might just clear it with 16" but I am not too sure.

17" will be easy!

From memory, Nissan put 17 x 8 +30 BBS wheels when they fitted the Brembo calipers.
