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

    • Yeah i get what you mean. Mine thought i wouldnt mind being a bit quieter overall as well as have the drone taken out is more what i was trying to say. Im going to start with a mid muffler, and go from there 
    • I'm struggling with a similar issue on an RB26. Make sure you know whether it's volume or resonance. Mine seemed louder when cruising compared to at idle. I downloaded a decibel meter for my phone. Take my less than scientific results with a couple grains of salt, but the decibels were the same at idle and at cruise. Mine seems to be a resonance problem. At 2500-3500 rpm, the sound is different and "louder" to my ear. I think it's vibration from the pipe, the car body, the floor or something creating tone. Anyway, consider that it may not be strictly a volume problem.
    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
