R34 Gt25 Brake Upgrade Help

[Page34]

I know there has been a few people asking this but I havnt really found a straightforward answer

I have a 98 r34 gt25 and I want to upgrade it's brakes on a budget (as I am only a first year aprentice)

What model skyline brakes will be a direct bolt on or if there not what brakes will fit with an adapter front and rear

Also should note I'm running the factory nissan alloys so would have to fit inside there

R34 Gt-t.

Runs 310x30mm rotors with 4 piston Sumitomo Calipers on the front, and 296x18mm rear rotors with 2 piston Sumitomo calipers. The rears are identical on R32,R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t.

The fronts use 14mm mounting bolts, whereas the (similar looking) calipers for the R33GTS-t use 12mm mounting bolts, and also run a 296x30mm rotor. You can use a sleeve in the bolt hole but the pick is the GT-t caliper.

Ask any import wrecker, they will know what these are. You should be able source the front for $300-$400 with serviceable rotors. The rears will be half that, or less.

If you need rotors or pads; GSL Rallysport have some excellent, and well priced options.

Cheers mate, most useful bit of advice I have gotten on the subject! I'll give a few wreakers a call and upgrade soon

Any idea where to get the 12-14mm mounting bolt sleeves?

[GTSBoy]

Um....it's a bit of 14mm solid bar bored with a 12mm hole. Or a bit of 14mm tube (1.2 or 1.6mm wall thickness) bored 12mm.

I concur, just wondered if anyone sells them commercially

Another probably dumb question

Never done brake upgrades before

Would you recommend replacing the brake booster or slave cylinder?

[GTSBoy]

Booster - no.

Master (not slave). No, unless you stuff it up whilst trying to bleed the brakes by pushing the pedal all the way to the floor and shredding up the seals in it.

Good to know:) thanks heaps

[jase-r34]

Have bled 6484836485893 brakes and never shredded a master seal pushing the pedal to the floor. Just sayin

[GTSBoy]

I've done it once myself, and seen it done to at least 5 others. JUST SAYIN'.
