Hi all, I want to upgrade my brakes on my commodore and am thinking that the R33 gtst brakes front and rear would be a good and cheap upgrade. I have the option of using a 23.8mm master cylinder or 25.4mm master cylinder. Which would be more suited to the gtst calipers? I am completely confident on making all the adaptos and brackets, but after much searching, there seems to much science involved with brakes and matching them. Any thoughts or tips would be welcomed. Car is a VH comodore with 1JZ GTE, so it does need some better brakes. Thanks

I've never known George to be serious about any thing!!!!

The bigger the diameter, the harder it is to spin. The wider the tyre, the more grip. The bigger the profile, the more it will absorb the shock from take off. The lower the pressure, the more it will absorb the shock from take off, and increase contact patch. This is all assuming all other this are equal. Also big burnouts are bad for street tyres, but good for race tyres, if using street tyres, try driving around the water box and just spin the tyres enough to make sure they are clean ie no stones etc.

Any one know what Nissan rated the RB20 and RB25 gearbox as? My understanding is that it is the torque that will kill a gearbox quicker that the KW's, but it is obvious from reading this, that driving style also is a large cause of failures

I'm normally more intersted in function over form, but I just like the look of the GTR, being wider and all

Hi guys, trying to decide what to buy. The decision would be made easier if I knew how easy it is to put GTR guards onto a GTS-t. I imagine fronts would just bolt on, but what with the rears? Is it a hard job or expensive, or just not worth the money. Any comments would be helpful thanks
