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 :)

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
