R34 GTR VSPEC II Brake Setup - Complete

Hi guys,

I have a new brake kit coming for my car in the new year, probably end of January by the time it arrives.

So that will mean I have the current Brembo calipers, front and rear as well as the rotors and pads available to sell at that time.

I thought I'd get in early so that people had time to get organised. My new kit comes with braided brake lines, however I already have some Nismo ones, so as long as the new ones fit (can't see why they wouldn't) then I'll put them with the kit too as they'll be surplus to requirements.

These brakes are the same as the N1 Spec brakes and are only available on the N1, VSPEC II and NUR cars, they're not the same as the normal GTR or VSPEC brakes. Essentially rear brakes are larger, but they are different.

Can't say for sure, but I believe from conversations held with others that they're not hard to fit to other GTR models, but you'd need to get someone to confirm that.

Cost, I haven't settled on a price, but needless to say my new kit is very nearly in the double figures of thousands so I've decided to let the market tell me what they're worth.

Just as guidline though, if anyone offers less than $ 2500 NZD I will just keep them as I'm not prepared to give them away, however I think they're worth a lot more than that.

Pads that come with the brakes are Ferodo DC 2500's and still have plenty of meat on them.

Please only serious offers / questions.

I've just been told that these will in fact fit under 17's. I can't confirm that as fact, but 3 people who are more in the know than myself had told me no problem.

Also made the comment that they will quite easily fit onto GTST's also, just 12mm bolts in the front intead of the R34's 14mm.

Have taken these pics to show condition of brakes for someone else so thought I'd post them here for other to see also.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
