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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
