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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
