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 can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
