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.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
