I don't it will. I had to go +30 to clear my r34gtt brakes and I just cleared it by 5mm. Its all to do with offset of the wheel.

No, it's not.

You can have a low offset wheel with rubbish clearance due to the spoke design. 2 or 3 piece rims generally state a J type disc reference. While lower offset wheels are more likely to clear, it is not a guarantee.

Try to look at the rims on a r33 or 34.

I was looking at these but they only come in +40

My only clearance issue will the the fronts with my r32 gtr brakes I will b e putting on as ill be keeping the rears as standard for now. At worst just decent pads and slotted rotors.

Having a guess by the look at the spokes and the offset, those have no chance of clearing.

Are your brakes on the car yet? If not, you can take them and place them on the backs of wheels ou like to see if they clear.

Varrstoen do some bbs knock offs too, 19x9.5 +22

These are the others I was looking at and I can get them in +25's

No I haven't got the r32 brakes on yet. In transit.

This has probably been covered.. but hey, worth the info..

I wanted a bigger set of brakes on my S1 M35, but without the big $$ price tag.. I need to tow my race car. ( under 1200kgs).

I found the 14mm caliper bolts hard to get a set of 4 spots for. I rang around a few wreckers & found that the R34 GTT calipers had the same bolt size.

The only mod i needed to do, was to remove the existing backing plate. The R34 GTT kit , bolted straight on. Even the GTT brake hoses fitted up.

Great easy mod for $350. I fitted hawk pads from http://www.vsport.com.au/ .. Been to Phillip Island & back with ease..

Hope this helps..

Was that $350 all up less the pads? Or did you buy new discs as well...that sounds super cheap. Any of you guys know a good wrecker to get the r34gtt setup from in Sydney? And also any idea if it would fit under stock Axis 18s? Cheers!

Hey Guys,

Firstly, I want to apologize if this has been covered, I've read nearly every single page of this thread and I'm still scratching my head..

A friend of mine rolled his 32 GTR recently. I own a 98 S2 C34 and I wanted to swap the rotors and calipers over for the GTR set up. Does anyone foresee any issues with this? Will I need to get custom brake lines made up for the new Rotors, or should it all interchange relatively simply?

Again, sorry if this has been covered, I wouldn't be posting if I wasn't desperate for an answer.

Thanks in Advance :)

You'd just need spacers made up to go around the bolts

the 32r bolts will have a 12mm diameter, but the c34 hubs have 14mm holes

and maybe trim the backing shield on the rear brakes (no spacers needed there tho) tin snips work well

one of the m35 guys does them, but i've had too many beers to remember exactly who (maybe daleo or jetwreck)

Hey guys need some info... I have recently changed the brake pads in my s2 c34 to the bendix ct pad, since then I have a grinding sound and feel coming from the front brakes at low speeds as well as a squeal like having low pads. I don't really feel it when the brakes are cold but after 15min or so of driving it all starts. Have pulled off the wheels and check the rotors and they are still smooth??????

A couple of things - first have you put a chamfer on the leading edge of the pad? Rubbing it on a sheet of sandpaper e.g. will do.

Also have you replaced the backing plates and applied some copperslip or other anti-squeal compound?

Cheers Tom, much appreciated mate!

What about the lines? Are they interchangeable between the C34 and 32GTR set up?

You can use either, running the stagea lines means you will have to pull the "olive" out of the caliper (its the thing at the bottom of the bolt hole)

lip on the rotor?

did you bed them in? (5-10 really hard stops from 100km/h to 50, then cruise at constant speed for 5 mins, using no brakes during that time)

Scotty makes the spacers for the bolts.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t 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 when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
