Have you considered upgrading your stock rotors to slotted and upgrading brake pads, braided lines, new fluid? As that would improve your braking by a lot.


Because bigger brakes wouldn't stop you much quicker, but they just reduce fading for a bit longer..

This...

Or get the GKTECH adapters and run GTR 324mm rotors...

Lots of people saying their stock brakes are good, thats because they are running old stock rotors with stock pads lol. Changing to 2nd hand GTR brembos with stock rotors and pads isn't gonna make that much of a difference, especially when it's going to cost 2k lol.

PS. I'm not knocking your GTR brembos Adam, I'm just suggesting to OP that, there are better and cheaper options.

I have a set of front new 324mm slotted gtr rotors with UAS caliper adapter/spacers. Reconditioned calipers painted red with new seals. 3 or 4 sets of brand name pads worn about 50% and braided lines to suit 32 but may fit R33. $500 or $650 with new rear slotted rotors, braided lines and reco'd calipers.

I'm still thinking , cos I'm trying to upgrade my power but also stop. I want a turbo upgrade but at the same time I want brakes what's the difference between garret -7s vs -5s ???

Oh and a brake cylinder stopper definitely firms up your brakes too, I bought a Nismo front strut with built in stopper, feels much better now.

And if anyone is interested, I have a spare Nismo one for sale to suit R33/34 GTST/GTT :D

    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something? 
    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
