R34 Gtr Brembo's Onto R33 Gts-T?

I have got a set of R34 brembo's that have been helicoiled for the gts-t size hub thread but having a problem with the rears, they seem to have a different bolt SPACING. About 5mm difference.

With the top bolt in the bottom bolt won't line up. Has anyone done this conversion? Seems to be very little info online for what would seem to be a popular conversion. Do I get GTR hubs?

Would that change the length/size of drive shafts, shock mounting points etc? Do I weld up the stock hubs and re-drill the holes? Any help would be great

GTRs used an aluminium upright or "knuckle" in the rear and the foot style of shock absorber is different . GTRs have an inverted fork where GTS25Ts have a conventional rubber encapsulated eye for a single bolt . GTRs had larger heavier axle joints and brakes so needed to save some weight somewhere .

The aluminium would not reliably support a single bolt so they had a rubber bush with a crush tube pressed into a thick section of the aluminium to spread the load . The fork straddles the bushes crush tube and locates with a through bolt and nut .

Possibly a bit late now but you may have been able to space your std calipers out with adapter plates so they fitted over GTR sized discs , its an easy conversion if suitable safe plates are available .

Okay that sounds like new coilovers, but also maybe other bits, heard something today re series 1 and series 2 having different hubs (GTS-t). The guy that had them heilcoiled said they were to fit R33 hubs.

Anyone know if there is any difference there?

I may need adapter plates and bigger discs but trying to find a less painfull solution

Has this really never been attempted before???? Hard to belive no one has tried....

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
