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.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
