The fronts do fit; but you will need to sleeve the mounting ears on the hub as the V series uses 14mm mounting bolts, whereas the GTR caliper is a 12mm bolt.

Some possible backing plate trimming, and the removal of the double flare seat in the bottom of the brake line hole.
The V series uses a banjo bolt setup, but it's very straightforward to do.

The rears will need some dedicated brackets made to fit properly.

Why wouldnt you just get R34 GTT brakes. Not as much fart-assing around and are bigger?

310x30 vs 296x32

R32 have more meat to offset any diameter advantage. Also OEM R32 GTR brakes have curved vane rotors. Cause racecar.

brembo R32 gtr vspec, or standard R32 gtr brakes? if not brembo i suspect its not worth the hassle..and assuming you have the base model non-brembo v35 coupe.

Can tell you it bloody well is worth the hassle.

Brakes on the stock single piston units are woeful. Sumitomos are so much better. Was one of the first things I did to my car.

QFT.

Nothing like being able to stop.

I've got R34GTT brakes and I has plenty of stops.

      Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!).

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat".

      Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
