What's Involved In Fitting 350Gt Brembo Setup To R33 Gtst?

[Aprils34]

hi there,

im sure this has been asked before so sorry for the repeat, have been trying to search and seems the search bar (or my pc) hasnt been working for a few days.

anyway, my brother drives a 2003 (i think) 350GT he has recently upgraded to much bigger AP racing calipers and rotors

so here i am thinking i need bigger brakes when i see them in a box in the shed and they would be about perfect for what i need. (2 pot rear 4 pot front i think)

would the rotors and or calipers directly bold on? and if not what would be involved in making them fit?

also would i be needing a bigger than standard master cylinder?

cheers

They will bolt straight up.

If your car has ABS - http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/genuine-nissan-pitwork-brake-master-cylinder-bm57-1716-nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-p-538.html

If it does not - http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/genuine-nissan-pitwork-brake-master-cylinder-bm50-nissan-skyline-r32-gtr-brembo-calipers-wout-abs-p-1168.html

can anybody confirm? i have heard somewhere that fronts may fit but backs will need mounts drilled out and spacers put in, (possibly front too)

would be bloody awesome if i could use them

they aren't the same as 34 gtr brembos but im guessing u know that n ur suggesting that as a replacement booster. cheers tim!

My apologies, I got confused reading your user name and linked a R34 instead of R33 ABS MC. Revised link.

Nissan Brembos calipers, including R32 (N1), R33, R34, 350Z, and 350GT are all the same. Only the disc size varied slightly between some models.

Brembo calipers use M12 x 1.5 bolts up front. Sumitimo calipers use M12 x 1.25. Therefore, if you have the mounting hardware, they're a direct fit.

whoooh. that bm57 is fairly expensive eh?

you might possibly get it cheaper if you're happy to wait.

Actually, now that I think about it, R34 brembos use M14 x 1.5 bolts. If 350GT brembos are the same, you may have to drill out your uprights 2mm.

^^ This.

The rears won't fit either, just stick with the twin pot sumitomos at the rear.

R34 Brembos (I'm assuming V35/Z33 as well) have 14mm bolts. Easily fixed with some helicoils and new M12x1.5 bolts (I got spare helicoils laying around).

I fitted r34 gtt brakes to my stagea (rs ) which has 12mm holes in the struts.

I machined up new inserts for the calipers with M12 threads.knocked out old ones knocked in new ones. Heaps easy.

Maybe I should make a heap more....

[Aprils34]

thanks heaps for your replies everyone

think i might just do with good pads and rotors with standard m-spec calipers until im tracking it and upgrade then.

took her up springbrook mountain last weekend and didnt fade too much even with cheap pads and rotors

yeah tim, my cousin used to drive a 34 and made an account under my email for some reason now i cant make my own account hah.

Interested to hear how you go with this upgrade ? Only because i used to have a 350gt with the brembos and they underwhelmed me... this was with proper bleed/dot 4 fluid and TRW lucas pads and good tires.
