I remember a while ago there was a thread in here regarding brake upgrades for R32 GTRs. It had a link to some F50 Brembos and another set of brakes from Nismo I think. The post said "get these (link)".

Does anyone still know what the links were? I've done a search but can't find them.

Gav - One of the guys that set up CSC used to work for Harrop, so similar ideas I'm sure, but for very tidy prices in compara. Steve Glenny used the four piston 350mm kit front and rear on his R33 GT-R N1 in Targa a few years ago. There is also a 380kW R33 GTR down here that runs on the track in Targa Class that has the same 350mm kit front and rear.

That was enough for me so thats what I've got coming!

Agree - looks the part.

Any links to CSC? Where are they made?

I totally warped a set of newly bedded of DBA 5000 Slotted 330mm (which are actually 324mm!) discs on my standard 4 piston Brembos within three stages at Rallye Burnie this year... such a small disc is not highly rated in my book on a heavy car like a GTR.

I just put on the 324mm DBA 4000's on my gts-t

Fair enough, personaly I'd want monobloc calipers before I'd start stressing about a slightly longer pad and two extra small pistons when your talking 343mm/355mm rotors.

But there is a bit of evidence going around that monobloc calipers arent as robust as good 2 piece calipers... if you were throwing a set away mid season then the monoblocs seem to be the go as they are rigid and light, but over many high heat cycles and mechanical loads there is a bit of evidence around that they will begin to deflect more then 2pce calipers.

There is reason to believe that the steel bolts in the bridge make for a more rigid caliper then the aluminium used in the bridge of a monobloc caliper.

As for the 6, 8 crazy 16 piston (yes Alcon make them) calipers a well designed four piston calipers will always distort less for a given piston area than an equivelant six piston caliper designed for the same rotor size and wheel clearance

INASNT - My old Brembo's and 324s are now an a GTSt (track - edit)car and work a treat. Very good upgrade for a GTSt... and we even made them fit under OEM GTR 16" rims!

Roy - I've read similar and considered there might be something in it, but with so many front running FIA GT, Le Mans, SCCA Sports Cars and many of cateogries using them, I figured if teams like that who seach for hundreds, not tenths of a second advantage, monobloc must be the ducks.

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
