R34 Suspension Set Up/ And What Brakes?

[Luke_ENR34]

Hey guys,

Im looking at doing some track days soon, mainly circuit stuff. The car is a R34 N/A GT-four

I want the car to handle the best it can for track and street.

So far i have

-Cusco Coilvers 10 rear, 8 front

-Nismo front and rear sway bars

-Cusco Toe arms, caster arms, rear upper arms, strut brace, tension rod (all adjustable)

-Ikeya Formula Traction arms.

-18x10 wheels.

(all suspension arms will be going in this weekend)

What else would you guys recommend?

******************************

What brakes would you guys recommend also? looking to spend around 3k for fronts

The car will be getting a RB26 later this year with some power so i need to be able to stop good.

Thanks Luke

3k is a realistic budget.

For that price i'd be looking of course at a GTR/350z Brembo package.

Can any one vouch for the 8 piston just jap kit? That weighs in at the 2k mark.

Hi mate l think you should add a hicas lock bar and pineapples.

Me l would get the GTR brake pakage with slotted rotors braided

brake lines should fit your budget just fine if you shop around.

But a mate of mine has a set of big 356mm 8 spot brakes from

just jap which if you go this path they work pretty dam good.

Good luck with it

GTR callipers front and rear with good pads..

Slotted and drilled disks..

Braided brake lines only if their cheap through a GB of sorts or else its not worth it.

or.. for 2K the Just Jap package mentioned above.. you will also want to up grade the rears too.. (GTR's and disks should do)

That way you have a good brake pakage and least $1500 to spend wither on your 26 or loose weight off the car.

btw. If putting in a HICAS lock bar.. its worth going through with the effort and removing the HICAS system all together.. its about 40kg weight saving too..

My car comes standard with no hicas as i found out got attessa instead.

Ive been offered some R33 GTR brembo's front and rear full set for under $2500. Is it possible to get them slotted?

Thanks Luke

[Grunter]

Mate 33 brakes are still good you can get them slotted but its not worth it

just buy new ones,l wouldn't recommend crossed drilled as they crack in-

between all the holes

HICAS is the 4 wheel steering system, doesn't your car have a little computer in the back boot behind those covers...?

And then a little bar near the back wheels.

Nope, no bar. Just a Attessa unit at the back right hand side of the car and a container in the boot to fill with attessa fluid.

I can get pics if u like

Ive got all my suspension arms now. does anyone know what settings i should have them on for most grip?

Im just going to set them as standard now.

Thanks Luke

If you go GTR brembo, dont use DBA4000 rotors as they crack under track punishment. DBA5000s seem to be ok. If it were me i'd use G4 kits tho.

You havent mentioned tyres.... if you're really serious you'll get two sets of rims - one with R spec tyres for the track, the other with street tyres for, uh, the street...

If you dont want to run two sets of rims, go for something track friendly like Falken RT-615s or Federal 595RS (not 595 aka 595SS).

[Luke_ENR34]

The R33 GTR brembo's come with the rotars also. so gonna be using them.

Thinking maybe later down the track i will get another set of rims and use those with some semi slicks.

Cheers for the info.
