hi there,

im sure this has been asked before so sorry for the repeat, have been trying to search and seems the search bar (or my pc) hasnt been working for a few days.

anyway, my brother drives a 2003 (i think) 350GT he has recently upgraded to much bigger AP racing calipers and rotors

so here i am thinking i need bigger brakes when i see them in a box in the shed and they would be about perfect for what i need. (2 pot rear 4 pot front i think)

would the rotors and or calipers directly bold on? and if not what would be involved in making them fit?

also would i be needing a bigger than standard master cylinder?

cheers

Caleb

can anybody confirm? i have heard somewhere that fronts may fit but backs will need mounts drilled out and spacers put in, (possibly front too)

would be bloody awesome if i could use them

they aren't the same as 34 gtr brembos but im guessing u know that n ur suggesting that as a replacement booster. cheers tim!

My apologies, I got confused reading your user name and linked a R34 instead of R33 ABS MC. Revised link.

Nissan Brembos calipers, including R32 (N1), R33, R34, 350Z, and 350GT are all the same. Only the disc size varied slightly between some models.

Brembo calipers use M12 x 1.5 bolts up front. Sumitimo calipers use M12 x 1.25. Therefore, if you have the mounting hardware, they're a direct fit.

I fitted r34 gtt brakes to my stagea (rs ) which has 12mm holes in the struts.

I machined up new inserts for the calipers with M12 threads.knocked out old ones knocked in new ones. Heaps easy.

Maybe I should make a heap more....

thanks heaps for your replies everyone

think i might just do with good pads and rotors with standard m-spec calipers until im tracking it and upgrade then.

took her up springbrook mountain last weekend and didnt fade too much even with cheap pads and rotors

yeah tim, my cousin used to drive a 34 and made an account under my email for some reason now i cant make my own account hah.

Interested to hear how you go with this upgrade ? Only because i used to have a 350gt with the brembos and they underwhelmed me... this was with proper bleed/dot 4 fluid and TRW lucas pads and good tires.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
