Hi all , I've found a larger front disc and caliper adapter conversion for my GTS25T and need to know if 322mm rear discs can be made to work and to avoid brake bias issues . The people with this front conversion used different pad materials to help the bias situation but I'd like to increase the rear brake size if possible .

I did search first but didn't find much .

Thanks in advance , cheers Adrian .

You also need to consider that the greater proportion of the braking effort is carried by the front brakes. Minimally larger rear brakes are unlikely to make a noticeable improvement to overall braking performance.

I have fitted GT-R rotors / calipers to the front of my R32 GTS4, and have not noticed any bias problems.

The caliper brackets are modified Z32 ones and moved out std R33 GTS25T calipers , I think std R33 rotors are 297 and GTR 320 so half of that .

I did actually drive the car that used them and while the brakes are very good the bias has changed because the front braking increased significantly with no change to the rear .

I just wanted to know if the rear 322mm rotors fit and would caliper extentions work .

Assuming you have a standard R33 rear brake setup; 2 pot rears with 297mm rotors, by going to a 322mm rotor you'd be increasing the diameter by 25mm, which is 12.5mm in radius... in which case you'll have a hard time moving the standard lug-mount caliper by such a small amount. There's a few other issues that need to be addressed as well.

Having said that we have been doing lots of Nissan brake-related work at work, looking at better upgrades than the usual GTR brembo upgrade or the bigger rotor + caliper spacer upgrade but without spending toooo much money and managed to design something similar to what you're thinking but it's yet to be be put through a good workout.

I guess it's a question about R34 GTR or 350Z rear brembo discs ? They are thicker that standard GTSt discs, 22mm vs. 18mm if i'm not mistaken, so something has to be done to pads in order to make rear sumitomos fit.

Other than that, the last time I checked, 322mm rotors for 350Z were disgustingly expensive and late GTR34 were nearly unobtainalbe (and expensive as well). Dunno, maybe this changed lately...

      Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)

      Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).

      Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance

      Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
