r34 brakes onto r32

[Dahtone Racing]

hey guys im a bit confused

i have an R32 gts N/A and i wanna do a brake upgrade

i was told to go for R32 GTST disk, brake and hub

so i called up my parts dude and he didnt have any R32 stuff but he said he had a set of R34 GTT brakes and thats they would fit just like the R32 ones would

is he right can they bolt straight up or should i go and search for R32 ones?

thanks guys

Go to the DBA site (www.dba.com.au), and check out the specs in the catalogue.

Main problem with this upgrade is that you have 4 stud wheels, and GTSts have 5 studs.

Yeah, the disks would have to be redrilled or you can get new blanks and have them drilled through DBA. Also the R34 disks will be slightly larger than R32 and the Callipers are a bit bulkier. You would also need to consider the clearence between the inside circumference of your rims and the offset of the rims. You will need a minimum 40mm offset to clear the brakes.

I have a pic of my upgrade with the brakes side by side but can't seem to upload it. Basically there is a bloody big difference in size. 33/34 brakes are bigger and better though.

sorry guys i think i was unclear about wat i was gonna do ill be replacing the whole lot disk brake and hub so it will all be r34 gear

will it fit this way?

hope this helps

thanks guys

I dont know whether the uprights are the same but the hub assembly should be.

Just a bit more effort to get it all together rather than droping one assembly and bolting up another

hmmmm ok thanks man

the dude reckons it will all bolt up

*shrugs*

i was just thinking wat about ABS do all R34 gtt have it?

can i just leave it unhooked?

or do i have to get brakes that didnt use ABS?

sorry about all the questions guys

your help is much appreciated

thanks heaps

It doesn't matter about abs. Nothing to worry abou.t

The calipers and disks will be pretty much the same, there's just an extra box under the bonnet that is inline with the brake lines and some kind of sensor that would be mounted to the r34 upright and a pickup on the rotating assembly.
