ok so just to make sure im on the right track. i have a series 1 Stagea. i can either bolt straight on R33 GTR front brakes and R33 gtst rear brakes or R34 GTT front and rear? (yes i know the brake lines would need altering and that the dust pan more than likely needs trimming)

are these direct bolt on or do they require brackets ?

i havent checked my brake pads yet but if they need replacing then it might be worth doing the whole lot in one go.

******edit*****

ok i just read early in the thread you can use R33 GTST front brakes is this correct? this would just require a full set of callipers and rotors (obviously lines and dust covers as above)

if so i might look at R33 gtst callipers and possibley slotted rotors and brake pads front and rear.

yeah also with the stagea calipers (Front) they use a 14mm bolt you will need to get a 12mm bolt that is 52mm long i think and also get some bushes made up to locate the bolt inside the bigger hole... if you talk to tim at [email protected] and tell him what you are doing he will be able to make up a set like he did for me.

so you can use the R33 GTST brakes on the front basically straight bolt on (apart from the bolt, the lines and cutting of the dust cover) anyone currently got these on there stagea?

i dont want to send the money getting some only to find out they wont fit. i have a feeling my brake pads are almost worn, so im considering doing an upgrade, while i have to do the brakes anyway.

I'd say you have to change your brake pads anyway, Damo - AFAIK the Stagea pads and the pads for the 4-spot calipers (whether R32GTR/R33GTSt, or the R33GTR's) are not even remotely close.

ha ha yeah i figure that, what i mean is if i have to spend the money buying new pads i might be better off buying the full brake upgrade :D but if i need new pads in the very near future then ill probably just buy pads to get me through the next 12 month use. if i need them in like 6 months time i might go the bigger brakes.

hmmmmmm where to find a quick 5k to do things to my car :D

oh and i assume that my autech wheels would clear the GTST brakes if they fit the GTR items.

yeah so you need, R33 GTS-t Rotors, R33 GTS-t Calipers, R33 GTS-t pads, new bolts with bushes and remove the flare fitting inside the front calipers to take the larger banjo bolt. thats it. with the rears the standard r33 lines are too short so i got braided ones made up for it.

Thanks

Hi Guys

I am looking to upgrade my rotor on my car from R32GTR rotors (296mm) to R32GTR 324mm ones.

I am trying to find the right adapter plate to use for the stock R32GTR calipers.

Does any one know if an adapter plate for 300ZX Z32, from the US would be compatible with the R32GTR?

Now I know I don't have an R32GTR but the M35 is a perfect fit for the R32GTR caliper and rotors and these are already mounted on my M35.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Cheers

Andy :D

We are looking into making up some adapter brackets so you can use 324mm rotors with your stock Stagea calipers or even 32/33gtst caliper. Tried the brackets currently on my 32 but it hits the ball joint so have to reposition slightly.

I am in a similar postion to Andy. I currently have R34GTT brakes on the front Of My S1 - a straightforward fit - but I have a set of R32GTR sized rotors (actually DBA4000 slotted) which are 324mm. I had a set of brackets that worked for a cefiro but they won't work on my car so I could be interested in a set of Bubba's brackets if i don't find some locally.

Hi all,

Just to let everyone know we've now started getting through our first batches of QFM pads to suit Series 2 Stagea Fronts!!! After we sent out the paid pre-orders yesterday, we've not got 1 set of A1RM ($179) and 2 sets of HPX ($119) left. These will go quick, but there is a heap more on the way!

Quick run down on the pads:

HPX: Bendix Ultimate equivalent, very low dust and rotor wear

A1RM: Ferodo DS2500 equivalent, again, with relatively low dust and rotor wear given the performance

To order, just swing me your details, full name, delivery address (preferably a work or business address!!), contact number and email and I can fire you through an invoice with direct deposit details, or else credit card over the phone is also available. Shipping Aus wide is $8.

As usual, any questions, feel free to give us a bell, 1300 884 836, or email sales at gslrallysport dot com

Regards,

Greg

Bubba, let know how you go with this.

I'll keep yas posted via this thread. Initially they will be for series 2 C34's but if there is a series 1 owner and an M35 owner in Perth that would be willing to help adapt to their cars then please, shoot me a PM ;)

P.S. jetpilot, those A1RM pads sound good - might give those a bash on my 32 when I wear out the DS2500's!

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
