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.

    • 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.
