Unless your getting a really good deal just do the front and put something like a CSC kit on it.

Very cost effective upgrade and if the car doesn't do that much track work the rear isn't that much of an issue anyway.

It's not just as simple as T04GTR suggests, the R32 front spindle uses M12 bolts to bolt the caliper on where as the 350Z calipers use a M14 bolts, what you need to do is drill out (not recommended unless you know what you are doing) the holes in the R32 front spindle to suit the M14 mounting bolts. As far as taking the high spots of the caliper be careful because on the caliper there are bridge seals close to the OD of the caliper, too much grinding in the incorrect place could cause a fluid leak.

My old Brembos went on a mates GTSt and its wasn't too much of an issue to put them on, we did need to cross over the Brembo bolts as the GTSt ones were too short... would be a similar issue with normal R32 GTR calipers.

GTR Brembos sound a lot easier to put on than 350Z ones.

If you want to make them fit under OEM 16s, you'll need to remove a good 3-4mm to ensure enough clearence and if you keep it to the centre ridge you wont strike a leak.

All that said, the Brembos and 324mm rotors are a really good brake for the lighter GTSt, but pathetic for the heavy GTR as the 324 rotors are just too small and will warp if really used.

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
