Hey guys, not really keen on reading through 57 pages of thread, just wondering if all 32/33/34 calipers, including brembos are a straight bolt on to the stagea, for the front at least?

What have you guys done about changing out the rears? I'm aware theres not much chance of finding an aftermarket rear rotor for the series 1, so my next option would be to change the calipers and get a different rotor to suit. Can i just buy a full set of calipers off any late model skyline and bolt them on?

cheers, Liam.

is urs a S1 or S2, ur best bet is for S1 is R33 GTST nd S2 R34 GTT, (front nd rear) minor mod of rear backing plate required, brembo's can go on but would take a lot more effort (backing plate off plus possibly adapter for caliper)

Solved the squealing fronts today. Since fitting the GTST the brakes squealed like all f*. Trouble is I am not sure just what fixed it, but was NOT the pads. I was donated a set of rotors and had them skimmed at Better Brakes Southport, (thanks Wayne) just to make sure they were AOK.

Wayne suggested that I get calliper lubricant and grease where the pistons hit the shims. Did that and fitted the skimmed rotors and the same pads and problem is fixed. But whether it was one or the other or both mods I do not know.

I had same problem as above, except I had no shims or paste/grease.

I ordered shims and paste. installed, problem solved.

Now only squeal when dead cold and wet.

Win.

Hi everyone,

I have a 98 model S2 stagea and looking at purchasing a complete brake kit from a R32 GTR... As per the above, just wanting to confirm whether this will bolt straight on or whether there will be some modifications in order to fit.

I also have 18" deep dished wheels so need to know the minumum wheel size clearance in order for the discs and calipers to fit.

Thanks,

not idea, as you will need some spacers to take up the difference in bolt size (r32 and r33 run a 12mm bolt opposed to r34/c34's 14mm)

I cant get my hands on a set of R34 GTT and recently chaged the offset of my wheels...

From what I have read here most have been using the R34 GTT calipers without any issues or major mods...

It would be great if someone can confirm the exact parts that would suit - I'm planning to keep the rear as is, however with slotted rotors and new pads.

Cheers,

I also forgot to mention that I can also get a pair of R34 GTR V SPEC II NUR front Brembo brakes if that also suites.

Would these be the same setup as the R34 GTT brakes?

You'd have to be an idiot not to go for the NUR brakes if you can get them for a sensible price.

They will be a Brembo caliper with 325mm x 30mm rotors v's Sumitomo calipers with 310mm x 30mm rotors.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
