GReddy/GRex brake system replacements

Hi All,

Needing new brake pads and possibly even brake discs for my car.

I have a set of GReddy 6 pot Calipers with 355mmx32 brakes on the front, and GRex 4 pot 330mmx26 brakes on the rear on my R34 GT-R. These are NOT the alcon branded brakes, they are the ones seen here:

Fronts: https://www.nengun.com/greddy/6pot-brake-system

Rear: https://www.nengun.com/grex/brake-system

These kits and any replacement GReddy branded replacement discs and pads etc. are no longer in production.

I am wondering anyone else that runs this brake setup has replaced their brake pads with non-GReddy parts and if so, what fits?

Also, if anyone has had to replace their discs what fits, or did you have to get them custom made?

I have searched the interwebs and have found very little information regarding these brakes. Some say they are made by Rotora in the US (at least for USDM GReddy).

Other posts have mentioned that the front disc is a copy of the 355 x 32 Brembo rotor so the Brembo is a straight fit.

Calipers may be a copy of or even made by AP Racing...

So hopefully someone out there has been through replacing these parts and knows 100% what will or won't fit.

Thanks,

Paul

They look like the same as the AP 6 pot/G4/Attkd/D2 whatever pads to me....like GTSboy said trace them and see.  

Discs look harder since they are 10 bolt (m6?) and obviously we can't guess the PCD from a pic. Measure the offset and check them against the DBA catalogue to see if anything else will fit? Very likely you will have to change the hats as well, not just the rings

I suggest talking to Matt at RaceBrakes in Wetherill Park, he will be able to work out what does or does not fit.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
