Hey everyone,

Now I was just wondering if it is possible to run R33 GTR Front Brembo's on the Rear of my 180sx ( obviously with just a custom mounting bracket and im finding it slightly hard to find matching Rears atm ) and run R34 GTR Front Brembo Calipers up Front. Now will the Braking Bias be thrown off much? The car is getting setup for doing Circuit duties and these R34 GTR Front Brembo's have poped up really cheap and want to know if its worth it or not, and like mentioned im not having much luck finding matching Rears.

I have considered also purchasing an adjustable Brake Bias Controller to help even out the Braking Bias.

Also what is the size of the Rotor for R34 GTR Brembo's? 348mm? Im not 100% sure on this!

Who would make a big enough Rrotor for the Rear to suite the R33 GTR Front Brembo's on a R33 GTST Brake Rear end ( hand break setup ) DBA?

Another thing also what Brake Booster and Master setup do I need to run to make this possibly work well? Im currently running an R33 GTST Brake Booster and Master.

And one more thing, would R34 GTR Front Brembo's work with my current R33 GTR Front Brembo Rotors?

But any more info on this would be much appreciated! :)

Kind regards,

Jase.

Run front callipers on the fronts, rears on the rears. Otherwise your balance will be rubbish. Nothing wrong with Sumitomo rears either.

Front rotors are 324x30mm for R33/R34 GTR's.

Rotors are the same on the 33's & 34's - on the front anyway. Rear is a little more complicated but basically the same.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
