Hi Tim!

[TREGTR]

Hello

[Captain Natro]

Here enjoy some poetry

"So sit down my children

I've a story you see

Of good money squandered

On my r33

'Twas a warm summer evening

I laid eyes on her

It wasn't to angry

The sound of her purr

A sad '25

Lay under it's bonnet

No turbo in sight

I should not of bought it

But big plans lay in store

For the R33

To make it a monster

Powered by LS, not RB

I cut and I hacked

And I swore black and blue

And turned this poor car

Into a thing owned by few

It lives! I cried

As the LS erupted

This car has a soul

A soul I've corrupted

I fear no RB

As I roll down the highway

Stuff the conformists

I did it my way"

To much time on your hands..

Btw I like brakes

[sneakey pete]

brembos from other cars ie R34 GTR are a poor upgrade...........save and get a big brake kit........I'm not a fan of Chinese brakes hence why I have AP Racing 6 pot brake kit

Brembo F50 / GT kit, Endless, Trust / Alcon all quality brakes but expensive

Mmm, much monies....

Shall have to get saving!

[Bunta]

With good pads and rotors r33 Brembos will bolt straight on and perform well Pete. Myself and Noel have run them sucessfully at the track.

[Bunta]

That said bigger is better but if dollars are a concern Brembos will do the job. Especially if the car isn't at the track all the time

[sneakey pete]

Yeah, money isn't really an issue at the moment, it's just a matter of time saving it. Car isn't going to be tracked seriously though, so I doubt that i'd get value out of a big brake kit. Get the impression that the R34ones are a little overpriced (cause R34, cause brembo), the 33 ones look like the ticket.

Edit: they're the same size anyway, didn't realise that.

edit edit: reading over old threads. 355mm rotor and caliper kit, 2006, $10000 bucks.

[Bunta]

R33 brembos are not the same size as r32 gtr brakes. 325mm vs 296 R33 ones work easier than r34 ones because the bolts are the correct size.

[cowdy]

So 33gtr will fit 33gtst with some bigger rotors?

[Bunta]

Yep. If you get the r33 gtr brembos with rotors to suit, stock gtr ones can be fine if in good nick still, it all bolts straight up.

[Ants]

Morning all.

[sneakey pete]

R33 brembos are not the same size as r32 gtr brakes. 325mm vs 296 R33 ones work easier than r34 ones because the bolts are the correct size.

yeah, I meant 33 vs 34, same rotor size, different caliper mounts, same pads.

for fr and rear yes. just upgrade the fronts to start of with then do the rear IF you need to.

After having a big front brake the rear brakes do not need to work as hard anyways so for occasional track days (even than occasional) rear stock calipers will suffice.

My Front APs cost less than 4,5k IIRC

Yep - save up and buy AP Racing brakes. Or Alcon.

Awesome
