Upgrading Brakes On R33 Gtr

[MsR]

Hi guys,

i've sold off my r33 brembo's and looking to upgrade to a 6-pot setup. what are the chances that i can mate up a R35 brake system onto my car (or at least the fronts). I'm happy to pay for the manufacturing of the plates. Located in Sydney.

Has Anyone done this?

R35 brakes are huge, so you'd need ~20inch rims and to upgrade the rears as well or the bias will be way off.

Nah, they are 380mm, they fit under 18s with the right sizings and shape. Ie, big brake clearance disks.

Cars have done it, there was a kit available somewhere, but for the life of me, I can't find it again. Have a google.

They will fit only a VERY select set of 18" rims, most however, not going to happen.

Just but a off the shelf K-Sport of D2 kit, 2k, doesn't get any easier

Endless R in Japan make the adapters for front r35 brembos to fit onto the 33 but like stated above wheel choice is important otherwise they won't fit

running Work Meister's 18x10.5 with R-Disk clearance

thought about going the K-sport gear, is that the same as D2, Attkd etc out there that JustJap sell? assuming upgrading to 350ish mm brakes and 6pots wont affect the bias too much either compared to going the r35 brembos on the front?

i've read a few cars on the GTR OC site who have done it successfully (Front and rear) without doing the brake master

Heya MSR,

I run a BNR32 with APP (Jap forged items) with 6pot fronts and 4pot rears with OEM master and they are balanced pretty well. I've always fitted bias valves in my past cars but didn't feel it necessary with the 32.

Most people will say the cheaper Chinese brakes are crap, but unless you're looking for 'ten tenths', the so-called caliper flex is unnoticeable to the average human.

If you decide to go down the R35 route, let me know, I'm in Sydney and might be able to help.

I have a set of AP 6 pots from a Nascar if you want a serious setup?
