I will be doing this, possibly this weekend or next. Hoping the stock 18 inch autech axis wheels clear the caliper. Otherwise spacers will become my best friend.

I believe that the DO fit behind the stock AXIS rims.

The double flare seat..is this the olive in the brake line connection point in the calliper? I threaded a screw into the olive to pull it out. Sounds the same as the R33 GTST calliper install but without the hassle of bolt spacers.

Sounds like the best bang for buck.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have 20"s so clearance is not a problem =)

Spot on; that's exactly how I pulled mine out too.

It's a doddle to get them on, and easily the best bang for buck brake upgrade.

Weird how R33 GTS-T brakes are an upgrade for Stagea..

From a car that's 400 kg lighter.

What am I missing ?

From memory R33 stock rotors were tiny as..

just the fronts;

c34's are 280 twin piston.

32gtst are 280 quad piston.

33gtst are 296 quad piston.

34gtt are 310 quad piston.

32gtr non vspec are 296 quad piston.

32/33gtr are 324 quad piston.

its kind of odd they didn't come with better brakes, but they aren't a performance car so they didn't need anything special.

So, are 34 gtt calipers the same as 33 gtst apart from the 14mm mounting bolts?

I'm assuming you don't need to trim the backing plate with the 33 gtst rotors.

No; the mounting legs are longer to accommodate the 310x30mm Rotor, as opposed to the 296x30mm Rotor from the R33GTS-t

For info.

M35 front

296x24mm

R34 GTT

310x30mm

So a huge difference in warp resistance as well as increase braking force.

Exactly.

Not necessarily a huge step up in braking depending on the pads; but a huge step up in pedal feel (stiffer caliper) and repeatability.

Great step up withouy having to swap out the bmc

Pretty sure that even the old (now discontinued) AP Racing 8 pot front and 6 pot rear kit did not require a change to the BMC.

Pedal is defiantly softer than previously so there is certainly a Caliper volume difference which would now equate to more rear bias.

Glad to see these gone

Clearance is only 3-4 mm to the rim. Only thing that will prob snag people. I peeled the dust cover off like opening a can

I think you had better bleed the calliper again. Did you clamp the line at the calliper before removing the banjo? Otherwise it's a pain to rebleed the abs.

It took me hours to bleed the last set of Brembo's I fitted, mainly as they were rebuilt which means there was no fluid around the piston. It can take a few decent pot holes to get the air from around the pistons to escape. Sometimes I tap the callipers with a soft hammer to release the bubbles.

If it's spongy then likely it has air in the system still.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
