Sorry 26GTS,

When I said control and feel I was suggesting unusual conditions. I.e gravel.

You are correct that it does take a lot to lock the brakes, but when you slam the brakes on they are very easy to lock. :cheers:

Only yesterday I had a loony P plater pull out in front of me that was so close I could see her earings. I locked the brakes instantly as I attempted to swerve, after what was probably around 1/4 of a second I unlocked the brakes and turned to avoid her.

In the VS with ABS the close call would have been much less of a close call due to being able to instantly turn without the front wheels locking for that fraction of a second.

It would be good to compare the reaction time of ABS vs the human brain of 200ms and work out the distance.

I would think the ABS will react quicker to a lock than the human brain.

EDIT: On Topic. :)

You will need to change the Diff?, or is it only the driveshafts?

Joel,

couldnt not agree more especially about the brakes not being that hard to lock when you(have to) slam on them.

Also you raised a point i had been considering mentioning but thought it might go over to many heads, that is with abs the point is not only to stop in a shorter distance but also to allow you to steer around the object you are braking for....

BTW i get you about the gravel :)

ON TOPIC:

Joel: Why would u need to change diff/driveshafts?

Those contemplating the installation: Sell the car and buy one with the abs, if u hate that answer heres my real 2 cents worth.

Theres alot to change over, including the front hubs/sensors etc. Even if you machined your original ones to take the sensors theres a round thing inside the hub that the sensor reads that is obviously not in the non abs ones.

Add that onto the cost of buying all the other parts and the labour and id say your would be better stripping anything off your car you want to keep and sell it/buy one with abs. save some $$$ not to mention time and an installation that may not be as good as factory. What i really mean is that u dont want to go to the trouble of doing all this then have the abs system not work properly/give errors. Where woudl u start lookg for problems then..... :headspin: :headspin:

Change diff/driveshafts.

ABS rear sensors. Are they located on the outer of the diff with the Nissans.

Generally I've seen the ABS sensors located on each side of the diff.

A gear looking thing that is located inbetween the diff housing and the driveshaft.

The setup I saw used an optical sensor of some sort that watches the gear's lugs go round and round. :)

Hard to explain, hopefully you get what I am trying to describe.

Gotcha joel, thought thats what you were gettting at but i was assuming the back would be the same as the front, ie. sensor goes into hub. I will look in the next week when i have my car up on one of my two hoists :)

will take some pics if anyone is interested....

See ya, 26GTS :)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
