XKLABA Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 all 33 gtrs got brembos, only non v-spec r32 gtrs had sumimotos Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/344041-r33-gtr-v-specs-get-brembos-while-a-normal-r33-gtr-has-sumimotos/#findComment-5546159 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTR-N1 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I wonder how you ended up with Sumimotos then. As stated above, you should have been served up with Brembos.

Jebat Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) 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. QUOTEVspec 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 Edited November 12, 2010 by Jebat Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/344041-r33-gtr-v-specs-get-brembos-while-a-normal-r33-gtr-has-sumimotos/#findComment-5546385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basti Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/344041-r33-gtr-v-specs-get-brembos-while-a-normal-r33-gtr-has-sumimotos/#findComment-5546423 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since everyone is of the opinion that even early BCNR33s, were never equipped with Sumitomo calipers?

GTRsean Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 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.

fib Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Do the r33 gtr brakes say 'brembo' on them or just 'nissan'? I've got qfm hpx brembos on order, I freaking hope they fit lol.

.:: GimpS-R34 ::. Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 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..

fib Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 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.

Ten Four Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 ALL R33GTRs came with brembos. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/344041-r33-gtr-v-specs-get-brembos-while-a-normal-r33-gtr-has-sumimotos/#findComment-5554712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 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?)
