cheers lads! went with the 34 setup ($250 for callipers and pads), just need some rotors now.. i am rather lazy right at this point in time do i need to mess around with lines?? ;)

No, I have r34 front and back using the standard stag lines, the rears needed some different clips to attach but not sure exactly as it was done for me.

Go the 34 brakes on a s2 if you can

Someone asked about gtr rears, should be fine but you'll probably need tin snips to trim the backing plate/dust shield

thanks for that, anyone have any insight into upgrading the master cylinder going from stock s1 brakes, to 33 brembos?

I haven't tried that exact swap, but would not expect you need to change cylinders

I've run 33 gtr and g4 8 spots on my gtr without any bias issues. I've run 32 gtr and g4 8 spots on my stagea without any bias issues.

In the end, it is the total piston area that matters, the 32 and 33 gtr have about the same size pistons, the 8 spots have 8 very small pistons, and the stagea has 1 very large piston. you could always calculate the areas but I think you won't have an issue.

awesome, thanks heaps mate.

I changed my S1 brakes to GTT brakes with no issues. Later I put R32GTR brakes on the rear (essentially the same as GTT) and 330mm D2s on the front. I then put a BM57 master cylinder on which just means that with a larger area there is less pedal travel but more effort required. It would probably have been fine without the change.

sweet, if i have any issues with it, ill swap it out, but i figured it would be fine, just wanted to check with knowledgeable people.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but from what i have read online, 34 and 33 brembos are the same, and therefore gtr34 brembos should bolt up to my s1 all the same?

Edit: will a 324mm rear rotor and caliper off the later model gtr34's bolt up the same? or will i need dogbones to suit the bigger rotor?

trying to be a tightass and avoid spending 450 on dixcel rotors i spent 600 instead! :wacko:

250 - r34 gtt front callipers

80 - rotors and machining

130 - shim kit from nissan

140 - hpx pads and 1L brake fluid

Sorry to be a pain guys, I've read through countless pages of what Rotors will suit the S2 C34. From what I've gathered, the 34 GTT rotors are a direct fit, but I'm looking at going for some slotted rotors. I've read that shaving down the OD of DBA brakes for the 32GTR and 33GTST will work, but that information was posted a few years ago. Does anyone know of any direct replacement slotted disks for the S2?

Again sorry to be a pain, I need to get them replaced ASAP.

Thanks

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
