Thanks for the quick response guys.

I'm not miffed that the car doesn't come with brembos as I got it cheap and it can be rectified, I'd just like to know for sure as to why.

Take for example this thread where someone mentioned V-Specs being equipped with brembos while standard R33 GTRs did not come with brembos.

QUOTE

Vspec has active LSD (a yellow light in the dash)

Vpsec has the faster attesa computer 1/1000th of a second rather than 1/100th (not visually noticable)

Vspec has stiffer suspension stock 10mm lower (not visably noticable)

brembos

10kg more weight (not visably noticable)

A Vspec sticker

Air difusers for the front brakes

Slightly better ABS (not visually noticable)

Finned rear diff

Tomek doesn't actually say that non vspecs didnt have brembos, just that vspecs did. easy way to solve your question is to get your chassis/vin number and run it through Nissan FAST. it a program that'll tell you what spec of car the vin matches, with all the options that were included etc

Thanks for the suggestion Basti: jonboy did that for me on the 22nd of October and it is a GTR:

So is it safe to assume that before the R33 GTR was shipped out of Japan, someone swapped out the Brembos? Since everyone is of the opinion that even early BCNR33s, were never equipped with Sumitomo calipers?

Yep someone did a fast one on it... Just look for a set of brembo's.

Vspec R32GTRs came with brembos so there is no chance that they wouldn't of had the brembo brakes ready for the R33's.

Wouldnt surprise me if a previous owner had upgraded from brembos and sold the brembos to fund some money back.. then removed the new brakes when selling and just bought cheap ones to sell car off..

Oh that really sux ;)

Now I doubt my brakes are brembos because all over the net all the r33 gtrs have 'brembo' written on it.

F&*CK.

How am I supposed to know what brakes I have then... I bought a full set of brembo brake pads too fck.

Ok I can confirm I have sumitomos.

Are these standard on '95 r33 gtr NON-vspec or have I been fleeced?

Scroll down 75% to R33 > GT-R brakes (v-spec or non)

Wiki isn't always correct, but in this case, I think it is.

I thought this is known to 90% of us... All 33 GTR variants came with brembos and so did the 34s. Its only the 32 that doesnt come with them (from memory 32 vspec2 does come with them and maybe vspec too?)

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
