Will R34 Gtt Front Calipers And Discs Direct Fit M35 Stagea

[slippylotion]

Hey

Thinking about up grading the front brakes on our M35(when it arrives) to R34 GTT.

I looked in the brake thread but it's all over the place.

So can anyone confirm if the GTT discs and calipers will bolt straight on? I understand the brake line might need some work but that's easy to take care of.

Cheers guys.

yes they will fit.

but might benefit to get Brembo GTR32/33/34 if you have the dosh.

you need bolt sleeves/adaptors or something though

[slippylotion]

Cool. So the r34 gtt caliper uses a larger mounting bolt than r33. I'm assuming the M35 also uses the larger mounting bolt or am I wrong?

If this is correct I shoulnt need the bolt sleeves.

[Sunkist]

m35 uses the larger bolt.

hence the sleeves for the gtr brakes..

34gtr brakes dont need the larger bolt.

Im not sure about the Gtt, but the GTR Brembos are definitely 14mm bolt like our m35. Either way, I can make you the spacers if you need them for 12mm bolts.

[slippylotion]

Thanks guys. I remember the gtt also uses the 14mm bolt so all should be good.

GTT uses 14mm. and a 32R rotor i think..

theyre basically the same i think

GTT uses 14mm. and a 32R rotor i think..

theyre basically the same i think

You mean 310mm rotor?

[Sunkist]

296.

310 is the GTR 34 i think.

[slippylotion]

296 = R33 GTST and R32 gtr except 2mm thicker.

310 = R34 GTT

324? = R33/34 GTR

34 GTR front Brembos are definitely 324mm, I will have matching sized disks as the Z33 rear Brembos are 324mm also. (Same as the later BNR34 rears.)

I got the Brembo disks machined yesterday, he had issues cutting them they were so hardened. Grade 8 he said. They required a carbide cutter to face, not bad.

296 = R33 GTST and R32 gtr except 2mm thicker.

310 = R34 GTT

324? = R33/34 GTR

this is correct

non brembo r32 gtr is 296x32mm, r33 gts-25t is 296x30

r34 gtt is 310mmx30 and r34 gtr is 324mm (i forget what thickness)

everything r32 and r33 has 12mm bolts up front, r34 gtt and gtr brakes have 14mm bolts up front

on a side note, the 2 pot rears are the same from r32 to r34

i thought 350z calipers etc was the M35 upgrade?

[zei20l]

its an option, just not the only option

[pipster11]

i thought 350z calipers etc was the M35 upgrade?

its the better option because you get 324mm rotors if you get the brembos

but brembos always carry a premium price

[Sunkist]

maybe i should've looked into 34 GTT brakes then ?

[RS4-S]

i thought the rotor hat height was the main difference between R33/34 and 350Z? being that the R34GTR brembos have a height of 53.8mm and 350z brembos a height of 49mm. clearly if you match the caliper to the rotor you should be right but depends on the hubs being the same. so if you fitt R34 brakes to your M35 they will sit in further than standard (better caliper clearance?)

Just picked up a set of R34 GTT front brakes for $350 with good discs. Very happy.

[pipster11]

nice find!

[slippylotion]

Yeah I know. I may be able to get another set or two at the same price if anyone is interested.
