R33 Gtr V-specs Get Brembos While A Normal R33 Gtr Has Sumimotos?

[Jebat]

Could anyone shed light on this as I've used the search option and there isn't a specific thread that addresses my question.

Thanks all.

all 33 gtrs got brembos, only non v-spec r32 gtrs had sumimotos

^^as above all r33 gtr's were manufactured with brembos.

I wonder how you ended up with Sumimotos then.

As stated above, you should have been served up with Brembos.

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.

Thanks guys for answering my question . Its all good.

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 ::.]

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]

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.

ALL R33GTRs came with brembos.

[Brandon]

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?)

Thanks guys.
