WOOOOOT, Happy to hear it Andy.

im not entirely happy with pedal feel...seems I might need a bigger brake cylinder...and like you say some braided lines but even still they are heaps better than stock! The control is awesome, you can keep them on max braking with out locking so much easier for some reason :)

Brembos are designed with even brake pad application in mind... Hence why its harder to look them up...

Causing max pad to disc application, causing max friction...

Brembo = good

Interesting!

Good indeed!

32 GTR's have ABS so I can imagine 33's do as well.

Hey noel, is it raining out that way? Theres a test n tune on tonight...

Just counting the hours till i can go out to the bank Ian, No rain at all mate. cya out there.

Do the R33 gtr's come with ABS brakes. Would be interesting to see how The Brems went on ASB.

They do but alot of people I know dont like it that much....I really dislike the ABS on my R33 GTST..and now having driven a non ABS car with good brakes I think you are better off with out it!

I will let you see for your self tomorrow but

Sounds like the brems are an ABS unit unto themselves Andy. mumble mumble...more damn money for brembos now, :)

Yeah..but way more effective! I think the ABS cuts in too early!

From 60 I hit the Brakes as hard as I could and all I got out of the fronts was a slight shudder so it locked up slightly...and that was when I was trying to make them lock up doing every thing wrong on purpose!

Try it on a rainy day after it hasnt rained for 3 weeks then tell me if they are good :) or your tyres are shizen With the standard calipers a set of slotted rotors with some decent pads will just be as good as brembos plus you have got to look at 2 factors here, how often you are using them what power are you using them with what application are your main use for them ie: street, drift, drag. There is an acceptible bracket there before you have to fork out for brembo brakes, not only there are some similar packages which are in par with brembos so keep that in mind :) thats my comment for the day

:)

Oh my 2c worth abs is shizen as well better off with no abs i say and use your experience that is another thing on this matter :)

Oops i forgot to mention suspension and tyres will have a big effect on braking as well so consider these aswell and merry easter/good friday to you all

Heres my 2c coming from actual driving experiences

I had standard calipers with DBA 4000 rotors and good pads, I had no where near the braking control I do now, I fact it was woeful and pinacle braking was really hard to pick...now it is easy to do with out thinking. Further more they could over heat after a decent drive in the mountains let alone at a track day.

And the Brembos I got were half the price of a Grex or similar kit...in fact they were cheaper than G4s!

Rahhh andy i did quote depending what application and oh wtf half price discount grrr 2nd hand or new Damn i should have edited my first post Main principle here would be needing to consider what "application" it would be used for, as i would image yes the brembos would help during trackdays or leisurely drives through the mountain due to disc size and caliper size as well. but my mistake was based on main street use there would be real no acceptional need for them unless the overall power was highish as would be needed in most street applications that if the power was substantial you would have to indeedly invest into a decent brakinging pakage. Bah ill shutup now :|

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
