Hey guys,

Need help! I am doing a brake upgrade and its driving me nutts!! The plan was to go to R34GTT brakes.

So far I have:

GTT QFM Pads front and back

GTTRear Calipiers

GTTRear DBA slotted Rotors 297mm x 30mm

Braided lines being custom made

Now the problems:

I bought R34GTT front DBA Slotted rotors of ebay for $299, they arrived and they are R33GTR Rotors 324mm x 32mm

Can't find front GTT calipiers.

Question:

Will the 324mm x 32mm Rotors work with R34GTT Calipiers (if I can find them) which normally have 310mm x 30mm???

I have 17 x 9 rims so space is no problem.

I have look though whole site to find but I can't see any info on this specific combo.

As it happens GTT front rotors are friggin hard to find also.

If the gtt calipers are designed for 30 mm thickness, then they will probably not be suitable for 40 mm gtr disks

I may be wrong here but I think the R34GTT are 310mm x 30mm and the R33GTR is 324mm x 32mm so it would be 2mm difference

regardless, without caliper adapters you will not fit those disks under an r34 Gtt caliper. I would suggest getting some r32gtst calipers and caliper adapters and keeping the rotors and pads. It's the cheapest way out now.

I didn't have too much trouble finding gtt rotors. but i spent 3 times as much as you and got 2 piece project mu gear :)

I would prefer having R34 fronts and rears if possible and if I have to get caliper adjusters either way I may as well get em.

Or just sell the slotted 324mm's and get 310mm's

I don't know, I'll try to find out how much for adjusters 1st.

Thanks heaps for the info

the gtr rotors will not fit the gtt calipers.

i did a brake/rotor upgrade on my r34 n/a and i was going for dba slotted all round but i could only get the rear, so i had to rda and at the time they didnt make 310mm (gtt size) rotors, so i had to get the 324mm rotors, being the gtr ones.

we tried to fit the gtt calipers with the 324mm rotor but they did not fit at all, the caliper was rubbing against the rotor! so in the end we ended up machining the rotor down to 310mm.

hope this helps :)

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
