Have you considered upgrading your stock rotors to slotted and upgrading brake pads, braided lines, new fluid? As that would improve your braking by a lot.


Because bigger brakes wouldn't stop you much quicker, but they just reduce fading for a bit longer..

This...

Or get the GKTECH adapters and run GTR 324mm rotors...

Lots of people saying their stock brakes are good, thats because they are running old stock rotors with stock pads lol. Changing to 2nd hand GTR brembos with stock rotors and pads isn't gonna make that much of a difference, especially when it's going to cost 2k lol.

PS. I'm not knocking your GTR brembos Adam, I'm just suggesting to OP that, there are better and cheaper options.

I have a set of front new 324mm slotted gtr rotors with UAS caliper adapter/spacers. Reconditioned calipers painted red with new seals. 3 or 4 sets of brand name pads worn about 50% and braided lines to suit 32 but may fit R33. $500 or $650 with new rear slotted rotors, braided lines and reco'd calipers.

I'm still thinking , cos I'm trying to upgrade my power but also stop. I want a turbo upgrade but at the same time I want brakes what's the difference between garret -7s vs -5s ???

Oh and a brake cylinder stopper definitely firms up your brakes too, I bought a Nismo front strut with built in stopper, feels much better now.

And if anyone is interested, I have a spare Nismo one for sale to suit R33/34 GTST/GTT :D

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
