First we click the search button.....

You need larger rotors. The internal piston volume is larger so the master cylinder will not provide the right balance and the pedal will move further for the same braking response. This makes it possible to lock the rears easily resulting in catastrophic braking imbalance. OK if you have ABS but the cars I have driven with the mod with and without ABS felt doughy and aweful in the brake pedal. My GTSt has stock brakes with slots in the fronts and good pads and feel sensational, even compared with my GTR33.

Balance is important so you would do well to do the master and all four corners at the same time.

A cheaper option would be larger rotors and a spacer plate at the front for more disc and greater swept area while maintaining balance

couple that with a nice 1.5 way or 2 way diff and you will be pooing your pants every time you brake hard and downshift for a corner as the rear of your car tries to overtake the front around the outside. lol.

i agree with geoff. i would try some really good pads, and come nice slotted rotors along with good fluid, then some braided lines and a master cylinder brace. you should be then able to exceed the grip of the tyres pretty easily under brakes, and not have to worry about fade much either (unless you are doing many laps at a time).

simple solution is to buy a car with them already on like i did. other then that, by listening to GTR Geoff ul learn alot. my 32 had upgraded front rotors and standard calipers with decent brake pads. but my 33 kinda needs the brembo's....got alot to stop

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
