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.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
