series one c34 RS4 stagea - R32GTR/R33GTST(i assume R33GTR too) calipers and rotors will bolt up

series two c34 RS4 stagea - R34GTT/R34GTR calipers and rotors will bolt up

the things you need to look out for are - wheel to caliper clearance and possible modification rear rotor backing plate

Yes easy fit.

Will need to remove the olive out of the 34gtt calipers for the stock stagea banjos bolts to screw in far enough.

Hub studs should be the same thickness for the bolts if not just drill them out, but my S1 was the same.

Fronts are an easier change than the rears cos you will get away with out touching the dust covers.

@kidafa, you put R34GTT calipers on your series 1? dont the series 1 front hubs have a 12mm hole (aka r32/33) and series 2 have a 14mm hole(aka R34)?

did you modify the hub or am i completely wrong?

EDIT: just re-read your post. i would prefer to buy the right parts if they are available before drilling out my hubs

The majority of members do believe that the S1 has 12mm hole and S2 have 14mm hole..... This is NOT the case, ive seen S1 with 12mm hole (stageaharts - I did his 33 conversion) and S1 with 14mm hole (my car - I did my conversion)

EDIT: just re-read your post. i would prefer to buy the right parts if they are available before drilling out my hubs

If your not comfortable drilling out 2mm of your hub studs, perhaps you shouldn't be stuffing around with the brakes on your car...

"i would prefer to buy the right parts if they are available before drilling out my hubs"

sorry pal but where in there did i say i wasnt comfortable drilling out my hubs? i said i would PREFER to BUY the RIGHT parts IF THEY ARE AVAILABLE before drilling out my hubs. i have had the wheels off and yes i have 14mm front caliper mount holes and yes i do have some newly purchased R34GTT front and rear calipers and DBA slotted rotors awaiting fitment

shouldnt be stuffing around with brakes on my cars? actually mate im a nissan training mechanic and if you go to my profile you will see a pic of me about 2 yrs ago craning an RB25DET and manual trans into my mates S13 convertible which required some DRILLING OUT HOLES on the R32 gearbox mount bracket so im all for modifing when needed.

maybe 4bidn1 doesnt what do drill this hubs? maybe you should read what was posted properly before stuffing around and putting your foot in your mouth

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
