Anyone Here In Vic Have Big Brakes On Their R33 Gtr?


Recommended Posts

I am looking to buy some big brakes for my R33 GTR, but first need to know if they are going to fit over my wheels (18x10.5 Wedsport SA90's, not sure on the offset)

If anyone here in VIC has AP Racing brakes, 6 piston with 355mm rotor can you please let me know if you are willing to let me trial fit one wheel on your car?

I dont mind travelling.

Cheers :)

mate pm xrotor

he has ap's on his 33. he had work or weds (not sure) but they didnt fit.

355 won't be a problem with those wheels. I have the same ones (so im assuming you own a purple R33 as well? Leewahs old car?).

I have a 356 D2 kit waiting to go on for testing in the next month or so and from the initial look they were going to be fine.

Yep, thats me, I own Daves old car (Leewah). I bought it earlier this year at a price that couldnt be refused :)

Do you have AP Racing brakes on your car now?

Actually i'll be @ Racepace Tues or Wed, and my wheels are there. I'll chuck them onto a car with brakes (always one there) and let you know.

You sure that you have the same wheels in the same offset as me?

I have been told that the ones I have are one of the only sets in the country.

If they are the same, then that would be awesome :)

18x10.5 - i can assure you they are the same as Aaron & I were looking for another set for the better part of 8 months.

I don't have the D2s on yet, but there is always one GTR with a 356mm kit @ Racepace so it won't be a problem.

Will let you know. Probably gonna be Wed as im a bit crook atm.

Dont have a lot of clearance with the standard Brembos. Maybe 15mm??

I dont like your chances then, still worth a try :thumbsup: Only one way to know for sure :D

Alternative is spacers, but spacers on a GTR :s?

15mm? :ermm:

What offset are yours?

Been a while since I've looked @ mine but we were almost positive it would be all fine when we were looking a couple months ago as intent was always to upgrade brakes etc.

It's not the end of the world if they don't, plenty of wheel choices out there that will accommodate for bigger brakes. I'd rather have the braking performance at the sacrifice of having 'wheels that make the car'.....

Just my 2c.....

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
