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

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
