Hello people.

Im picking up my 93' GTR on Friday.. I sure this has been covered before, but I just want a quick answer :laugh: I know the standard brakes are crap, but basically what is the best option as far as quality and value for money for an the upgrade & also what brake pads. Also where would I buy it from? I live in SA and car will be .. enthusiastically driven, no track work at this stage..

Cheers

Jon

well the standard brakes aren't that bad for road use really. As long as the caliper is working OK (no pistons seized etc) all you really need to do is put some good fluid in and bleed it properly. If you have trouble after that maybe throw some better pads in there.

If you want to upgrade the brakes althogether you are looking at $2-6k

Depending on how much you paid for the GTR, you may have to sell the car to pay for the brakes :)

But i would look at the rotors condition first. If they are still the std cross drilled jobbies i would replace them with new rotors, put a new seal kit through all four calipers and run good pad and fluids.

For the road they will work more then fine. If you cook your brakes on the street and you have covered the basics then you will be dead in a day or two so may as well leave some money to your family :)

There are quite a few threads that discuss the R32 brake upgrade issue...also have alook through the old for sale threads as there is always a bit of "will it fit this" type of stuff discussed. As well as the discussion of adaptors for standard calipers top bigger disks in the suspension section

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
