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

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
