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!

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
