R33 gtst brake upgrade

Hi guys,

First post on SAU so try and be patient if I'm not asking quite the right stuff. I'm about to start building a low comp rb25det (cyl 6 is gone) I've just bought and before all that extra power happens I'm needing to upgrade the brakes so what brake setups have gtst owners gone with? I'm targeting 420-500whp and I'd prefer to have too much stopping power than not enough. And whilst I'm here what other safety mods should I be doing going for that power? Thank you all in advance,

Welcome to the forums,

There are plenty of threads already covering brake upgrades, so the search bar is your friend Here is one for you

Tyres and suspension are where you will need to concentrate on, you can have the best brake set up in the world, but it won't work with shitty tyres.

Sorry the low comp engine is going to be rebuilt just saying I've purchased a motor to build. My skyline currently has 250rwkw from stock internals t3/t4 turbo from previous owner been told by a mechanic it's actually off a truck it makes good power but a little laggy.ive bought a atr43sat 76mm turbo with .63 rear with the built motor on flex fuel I'm hoping to see a lot more response and power so I'm gonna need the brakes. Thanks for the reference to the other pages guys

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
