Which brakes/brake kit would require the least amount of irreversible modifications for an R34 GTT

[Counter34]

Basically what the title says, I'm looking to upgrade the brakes on my R34 GTT as the stock ones I have right now are seized. I was looking into a G35 Brembo kit but was just wondering how it would fit in terms of the caliper bolt holes, or if I'd need to modify them in any other way.

I live in Canada so parts are hard to source.

Also, in terms of rotors what would be the best option?

Thanks

Why not just fix the stuck pistons in the 34 calipers?

If you want to avoid doing, you know, basic maintenance work, in favour of upgrading something for the sake of it, then buy an ATTKD or similar aftermarket 6 piston kit with calipers, pads, and rotors, to suit the actual R34, instead of going through all the stress of working out if the caliper offsets and disc hat heights etc etc from the 35 chassis cars will work on your 34?

Or....you know....you could do some searching on here, because the subject of brake upgrades from the 35 chassis cars is not exactly a brand new one. People been putting Z33/4 Brembos on R chassis cars for nearly 2 decades now. There might* even be a comprehensive write up on the subject mentioned many times on this very site.

*definitely.

What I want to do is the CTSV Brake swap. The 6 piston kits are incredible, the pad size is ridiculously bigger than the Attakd/KSport/G4/What have you kits. Plus they are OEM sized, OEM calipers etc.

They make them for many USDM Nissan cars. Some of them are very VERY similar to R33/R34 to the point where one of the conversion kits would likely work with very minor modifications.

Given there are kits for S15 and S15's can quite often use R34/R33 brakes as well, this should be minimal and should work. It's minimal in general by drilling out one bolt hole to be larger diameter which is about as hard as it generally gets.

350Z 324mm Brembos bolt up (use existing R34 GT-t caliper bolts & brake line).

I have the Alpha Omega Evo caliper adapters, braided lines and Evo 6 Calipers and Evo X rotors (this is on the front only, rears are stock)

Apart from trimming the brake rotor shields, this is completely reversible and pretty straight forward to install - complete bolt on. They work very well, I've done 2 Adelaide Rally's, can't fault them

Hmm not too sure, been so lazy and unmotivated to do any car content.

I should though, these days I tend to just post up on IG about the mods & thought process.

Do the rear and front calipers + 324 rotors bolt up directly or just the fronts?

Only fronts.

Rears you will need to cut off the mounting tabs and weld on new ones OR weld on the GKTech ones.

i did the alpha omega evo brembo upgrade... well worth it

[GoHashiriya]

I was considering the 350Z brembos but opted to get the stock ones refurbished and some higher quality pads (Dixcel Z type vs OEM previously) plus slotted rotors - bit of a waste for the rotors but I needed new ones anyway.  

Stopping performance is plenty for my track use, in fact it was pretty good anyway on the stock brakes with semi-slicks.

[Duncan]

Just on that, great tyres like semi slicks are probably the best upgrade for braking you can do....far less braking needed and you are going faster overall anyway.

You mean the Ford FPV R spec 6 pot Brembos with the Evo 10 rotor combo on the front ?

I think I want 🤔
