Right Bbk For R34 Gtr

I'm hoping someone can answer a simple question for me on BBK's for an R34 GTR running LMGT4's Omori Special Editions 18x9.5 +12 Offset.

I'm looking at upgrading the brakes but am a little stumped on the right size rotor to run and number of pots. I'm interested in getting the Brembo GT's but I'm positive the 355mm front and 330mm rears recommended by Brembo can definitely be increased, but I just don't know by how much and what ratio.

I.e 365mm front with 6 pots and 350mm rear with 4 pots or 365mm front with 6 pots and 345mm rear with 4 pots, etc. (just using these as an example)

Can I safely go bigger than 365 up the front (say 380mm) and then what's the best option for the rear?

I'd really like to hear from someone with some experience with these brakes, what works best and how big can I go safely with these wheels. I'm also not into using spacers, or fancy brackets etc to make them work.

While I mention Brembo here, I'm not adverse to Alcon or AP, but am kind of keen to keep Brembo brakes on the beast.

Hope someone can help.

Lets call it spirited driving and the occasional track day. The standard brakes are not bad, but I've changed rotors, different pads and they just aren't up to the task anymore. The car will also be getting a big upgrade in power in the near future, so I want to future proof it some.

As I'm overseas at the moment I can purchase items a lot cheaper then back in Australia, so I might as well make the most of it while I'm away.

Regardless of the use, I'm looking for a decent brake kit to look after 500+ awkws

Thanks Lidz,

Took a good look at that forum and it provided an interesting read. Just wish I knew if the Brembo GT calipers were similar dimensions to the Alcon ones. Anyone have any experience with the Brembo GT kits?

Ok let me try a different approach...

Does anyone have experience with the Brembo GT kit running 365mm rotors up front with LMGT4's 18x9.5 +12 offset? If so what clearance do you have between the caliper and the wheel?

Hope someone can help.

The guys at Croydon Racing Developments run the Brembo GT kit on their R34 GTR with 18" TE37s.

The LMGT4 is a very similar designed rim so clearance wont be an issue.

Their car has (im pretty sure) 8 pot fronts with 376 or 380mm rotors and they sit well.

I have a set of Alcon 6pot calipers from a Daytona LeMans Prototype on a 375mm rotor. Dummy fitted up, they just squeeze inside a 17x9.5 +12 TE37 with about 5mm of clearance radial wise. Plenty of caliper clearance behind the spokes.

The alcons are also a larger body caliper compared to the Brembo GT, so that coupled with a smaller diameter, eg 365mm, you should have no problems fitting it into an 18" LMGT4.

Also, if you ask nicely, Im pretty sure Matt (God_speed) on here is running the GT kit under 18" LMGT4s. I could be wrong.

Hope that helps.

Mate, I can pretty much guarantee there will be plenty of clearance with LMGT4s, my LMs are exactly that size 18 x 9.5 +12 offset

im running an evo 10 kit with 350 (355mm) brembo kit on the front and there is still heaps of room. Piggaz also used them on his R33 over his Alcon big brake kit and im fairly certain he still had heaps of room as well.

Try Race Technologies, I run the GT kit 355 fronts and 345 rears on my Supra and the alcon 365 and 350 on my 34 Gtr, both are a good set up and probably the best money you could spend. The supra runs 18 inch Drifteks which i think are a knockoff nismo? they clear by a mile. The alcons are under Enkei Rpf1. I know the Brembo 380mm rotors template wouldnt fit under the driftek but have heard they go under TE37s,

Really appreciate all the information guys, it's good to hear they will fit.

C4a0s If you could provide the diagram and dimensions that would be superb!

oops... didnt see this thread for a while..

PM your email and i'll send them to u tonite?

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
