I want to put 17" rims on my R32 GTR real soon (currently 16) and while doing it, I would like to upgrade my brakes to those off an R33 GTR, which I believe are bigger. Is there a lot of work involved, ie will they bolt straight on or will I need to fabricate some bits and pieces? Also, will I need to do front and back or can I get away with just the front.

Ive got them on my car, I didnt do the conversion myself but bought the car with them on there. From what I have heard its not a big job, you just need the callipers and bigger disc's and 17" wheels with the correct offset to clear them.

straight bolt on, even I managed it lol. 1/2 hr job including taking the wheels off.

But the brembos aren't cheap (up to $2k for the ser), you should talk to some brake shops about alternatives. Race brakes in sydney are good, I think they may be in Melbourne too

what did you end up getting for yours sidewaymambo, and if you don't mind, about how much did you pay?

we *have* to run brembos on the race car, we have no choice, but the price asked seemed to be way more than the damn things were worth :D

Well, the stock calipers are 4 piston on a 296 x 32mm disc

The brembo calipers are larger, but are still only 4 piston. The discs are 324 x 3, only about 10% larger

And when I said the Brembos aren't cheap, what I really mean is that they aren't necessarily worth the price....

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
