Check that info. I think some of it is wrong.

R33 GTR calipers will bolt straight up if you use GTR rotors. R34 will need your hubs drilled out, not a big job, but why pay more for the R34 calipers only to have to mod your hubs. If you are going to do it then may as well throw braided lines and good pads in, otherwise the weakest link could mean a good setup is ordinary

Look up the piston sizes of the calipers..i think you will be surprised...GTSt calipers actually have more piston surface area...so dont worry about the master cylinder. See how it goes, if you find your current master cylinder is dead, or dies in the future then consider you may have to change it. Though personally i dont think you will need to

Well lucky my posts come with a liberal sprinkle of "I think" and "my guess is"

Well that is interesting, the 33GTR brembo calipers bolt on to the 33GTST hey??? I was under the impression the mounting bolt spacing was different. I was looking into a brake upgrade about a year ago and I was sure someone told me they would not fit... damm.

i can tell you 100% it's the same. also the same as 32 GTR, and 32 GTST. the only ones that are different are the 34 GTR calipers but the spacing is the same, just the bolts are larger so you need to drill out the mount holes on the hub.

thanks :(

do you know if the brake lines are the same too?

Nah, nah, nah...sorry. Did what i say read that way...just pointing out that my "thoughts" were different to yours....and trying to clarify that its not a big or difficult job....sorry if i sounded like a twat (thats probably because i really am a twat :mellow: )

  • 7 months later...

so will the 33r brembo calipers i put on my 33t mess with the abs ? will it prevent or allow to much force due to more efficient brakes ?

I mean to add 33r calipers to my setup and have been searching through and found this chestnut. what are the real world benefits ? will they outlast my stock calipers on a track ? I do bleed my brake fluids and I do run decent pads, I also have removed many guards for improved airflow. I can get a full set for 1k, existing pads included... probably shite but will it end up a worse setup or is it the same and essentially end up with pure rice ? improved braking ? the sumy's on the back are bigger than the brembos ? if thats true then wouldnt hte abs sort the extra bias to the rears ?

is this a worthwhile upgrade? sure its an improvement but very minor from what i have heard... there is not a big differerence between caliper sizes so i cant see how they would perform that much better??

Spend your money on Series 4000 rotors, braided lines, and good pads unless you'r just after the rice effect...in which case get the Brembos and chrome plate them so everyone can see :action-smiley-069:

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
