Hello  Everyone,

After fully forging and building my r34 2 door rb25de neo to a turbo conversion...  i would like to do a brake disc and caliper upgrade.

I know for sure for sure for sure there IS a thread  somewhere that i read a couple weeks ago but i just spent a hour looking for it and no luck.

My question is, can i buy brake discs and calipers upgrades for a r34 GTT coupe? (cant find aftermarket shit for the NA r34)

i think i heard something like the N/A brakes on the r34 is actually r33 gtst brakes and discs.

If anyone can give me some advice or even direct me to a thread it will be greatly appreciated!!

Yes. What I can't remember is if they'd given up on 4 stud wheels on the NA by the time they got to the R34. If you have 4 stud, then it is a lot more work and stuff you need to get - because the turbo stuff is obviously 5 stud.

Nope.

NA R34s were still sliding caliper junk. R33 GTST are 4 pot Sumitomo on 296mm x 30mm rotors.

 

There's a lot more than one thread covering this stuff on these forums. Use google to search the forums. You will get much better results.

C'mon Dylan You need to try harder mate, I searched this forum using "4 stud brake conversion" and got 10 pages of results

Mate, you are not searching hard enough or not reading the entire threads. Try this on this forum 

R34 Non-turbo Rotor Size And Pads

and it will lead you to this

if you want cheap Brembos and don't want to pay the GT-R tax, get yourself 350Z Brembos calipers, Rotors :)

They will sit a bit future out compared to the GT-R ones, but if you've already got some decent wheels you'll clear it.

Oh, here's a guide I wrote many years ago:

I'm also not sure if the R34 NAs went to the 14mm caliper bolts like the turbos did. If they are still at 12mm, then fitting R34 turbo calipers requires changing the threaded inserts in the calipers.

If the NAs are 12mm, the you could fit R33 calipers easily enough (on the 296mm rotor) or you could fit R32 calipers (preferably using a dogbone to push them out so you can use the 324mm rotor - which you CANNOT do nicely with the R33 caliper).

The info on 12/14mm is available on here. I just can't remember.

Habib, if you read the guide it will make sense.

No thread inserts, those are gay.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
