R33 gtr brembos are direct bolt on to z32. IF r33 gtr brembos are bolt on to r33, then in theory the z32 caliper 'dogbone' adapters will fit r33 and enable 324mm rotors with stock calipers.

Early ones were alum, later ones iron.

Regardless, it's a simple and cheap mod for 324mm rotors, assuming the r33gtr calipers are bolt on to 33gtst as I said in my first post.

So why'd you get them??

If you actually do go to the track just make sure you put in some good fluid and it will be fine..it will take you a year of track days before you kill the brakes at least and that's if your a hack or very fast, they should last much longer if you drive clean

I'm not sure what the specific concern is about ADR approved brakes lines when the calipers, pads and discs, or how they work as part of a system, are also not ADR approved?

I think it is because it is easy to build a caliper that actually works without breaking open and leaking your fluid out while you're trying to stop. But there was a time when the first braided lines were being tried by people when there were inferior ways of swaging the ends on and so on that led to them failing. The ADR regs for how brake lines were to be constructed (or the tests they had to pass at least) already existed, so they just made it a requirement that any aftermarket ones had to be ADR approved. Not that the requirement wasn't already there in effect anyway, but at least if you require that they have a specific approval number granted by the regulatory body, you have an effecttive filter to stop the carppy ones being used.

Sure, there may be good ones available that don't have approval, and it sucks to be them. But they could always get them approved and start selling in competition to those that already are approved. But, to recoup the cost of getting them approved they'd probably come out at the same price anyway, so you wouldn't have the situation like those cheapies on the eBay link being as cheap as they are.

Thought Ill give them a shot, im not going to be doing alot of track work, mainly just deca, haunted hills type stuff so I think these will be fine.

Definently will put good fluid in, will also do brake stopper and braided lines.

I personally wouldn't trust any brake line from overseas or that isn't adr approved, I guess if its adr approved theres less chance of a failure. I've seen a few jap branded braided lines burst but never a Hel one.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
