Once built will be track days, time attack style events, and street. What other upgrades are there for under $2500. From what I've read there isn't much point in upgrading rears?

Thought if I went the 33 brake route I would obviously add I believe the disc are thicker also?

Wrong about the thickness. Normal 32GTR rotors are 296x32mm. The bigger V-spec and 33GTR rotors are only 30mm thick. Not that it matter at that point because they're going on for 30mm bigger diameter, so they weight more so they soak up more heat anyway.

If you can get them cheap, throw them on. They are an easy upgrade. But with a budget of <$2.5k, there's aftermarket options that are bigger and more worthwhile.

Alpha omega does a evo 9/10 conversion kit for r32s, he supplies the whole kit including brake lines

I have a set and It's an excellent upgrade and is within your budget

Looks good, I notice they only do the fronts.

Is that because as per my last post alot of people dont upgrade the rears due to it being seen as something thats not needed?

Would it be a good setup to have:

Evo IX front calipers

DBA T3 4000 Series Evo X rotors (350x32mm)

QFM A1RM pads

Rear:

DBA T3 4000 Series Disc

QFm A1RM pads

Braided lines and good DOT fluid

Would an upgraded mastercylinder do anything significant? and if so what one would be good?

There's not really a need to upgrade the rears until you have really quite large fronts. At 350mm fronts you're starting to get to the point where the original rears are verging on too small, but I would certainly try it before considering a rear upgrade.

It is also possible to play bias games by selecting different brake pad compounds front to rear. Although it is certainly easier to take bias out of the back by putting less bitey pads on the rear than it is to put more bias on the rear by putting more bitey pads on - seeing as most people want to max the biteyness at the front. Still an option though.

I was doing some research for the same purposes as you and found the Alcon kits were not much over the $2500 you have mentioned.

All depends on your wheel size, but Brakes Direct offered this:

• Front 6 piston monobloc Alcon kit with 365mm 2 piece rotors $2697.

They were happy to swap out pads and upgrade to PMU Club Racer pads for a little more.

Shipping is free Australia wide.

Might be worth looking at as another option.

He's currently doing a brembo conversion for the rears now..

I'm running mx72 pads with standard rears. It's a touch too bias in the front but its still good

You will need big wheel clearance and an upgraded master for good pedal feel

is the 17/16' master cylinder from the v spec 2 big enough or not?

with the T3 disc it might be a nice setup then.

would 17's clear? I am speaking to a factory my fathers company uses about doing some billet R32 GTR wheels in 17x9.

Just looking into what needs to be done to be strong enough or potential problems.

Not to hijack the thread but I'm currently restoring some R33 v-spec brembos to install on my BNR32. I have the adapter plates and braided lines figured out but I'm trying to source the best roors to use with these. Can anyone give me a rotor size that will work best?

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
