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 :thumbsup:

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.

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 :D

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.

Cheers

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.

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.

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

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

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
