Hey guys i have searched for a while now and found some interesting stuff but still nothing to confirm 100% what i wanted to know

ill post what i have found but if someone can correct anything they think is wrong please let me know

Front rotors

R32 - ??????

R32 M SPEC - 280 x 30mm

R32 GTR - 296 x 32mm

R33 GTST - 296 x 30mm

R33 GTR - 324 x 30mm

R34 GTT - 310 x 30mm

R34 GTR - 324 x 30mm

Rear rotors

R32 - ??????

R32 M SPEC - 297 x 18mm

R32 GTR - ??????

R33 GTST - 297 x 18mm

R33 GTR - ??????

R34 GTT - 297 x 18mm

R34 GTR - ??????

So im guessing the r34 gtt calipers would be different to the r33 gtst calipers correct?

And if all the turbo model skylines had the same rear brakes it shouldn't matter which one i go for but at the moment i have

z32 rear brake set up

z32 front brake set up

im looking at going for the r34 gtt front brake set up to get that bigger diameter but obviously there is no reason to go for the r34 gtt rear set up if its the same as the z32 anyway correct?

also does anyone have any info on the r34 bmc?

I got my self a bm44 from an r33 for now and ill probably install that and see how it is, if its shit house then should i get an r34 bmc or go straight for a bm50 from an r32 m spec?

another question is i have a braided line set up for the current s14 brakes will these still bolt straight up to the r34 calipers?

by the way this is all on an s14 chassis, sorry for all the questions and thanks for taking the time to read it all.

piston size in the front sumitomo calipers is the same so no issues with retaining the r33gtst master and swapping the fronts to r34gtt.

I ran the stock master and rears on my r32 with r34 fronts and it worked fine.

I'm pretty sure the r32gtst has a bm44 as well, it was the gtr that got the bm50

I don't know about the s14 lines. I'd assume they'd fit with some minor bending of the hard line as the s14 got a cast iron version of the 4 pot caliper.

thanks ryan yeah that confirmed it a bit more for me thanks, was just getting some miss info from one site and it was conflicting which to beleive.

looks like i should be right with my r34 fronts and z32 rears and r33 bmc then, shibby shibby i love brakes.

hey ryan do you have that table for the rears as well?

another question i assume the r34 calipers are different to z32 fronts? either they have a different mounting section or the actual r34 uprights have a different mounting section to accommodate the larger discs?

just wanting to make sure i dont have to buy anything else to fit the r34 rotors to my uprights

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
