Stock R34 Gtt Brakes For Trackday Use

[Dr. Surge]

Hallo y'all. I was wondering how te stock r34 brakes , with decent lines, oil and pads, perform for trackday use?

Do they deliver enough stopping power or is it advised to upgrade to gtr brembo's or evo calipers ?

I'm on the point to getting my gtt on the road and have to change my brake pads and discs and i don't want to spend money on something i have to change soon because it isn't enough ... [emoji3]

GT-t brakes are decent (enough).. being 310mm in diameter.

I used to run stock R33 GTS-t brakes, 296mm in diatmeter and they were decent for a 330kW boat at Wakefield Park. Coupled with Project MU HC800+ they could do about 4 laps before showing signs of fade.

When I mean fade, brakes would still work for 10 laps but require heaps of pedal effort.

I've since upgraded to BREMBO calipers with Intima Type-D (as I sell them haha)... car is destined for the track 30th May for a shake down.

I upgraded my C34 Stagea (which is probably heavier than your car) to GTT brakes with specially made pads from RaceBrakes and they worked well on the track. When I upgraded to an RB30 with a bigger turbo I felt the need to upgrade again.

I got grooves machined in to my stock rotors.

I also curious if the brembo gtr upgrade is worth the price ^^

I never buy fancy slotted stuff, unless it's the same price as non slotted.

Well, hardly, given that you're starting at a hefty 310mm rotor and only bumping it up to 324. It's not like when you start down at 280 or 296 like on a 32 or 33.

my advice, get good pads.. don't use junk like QFM A1RM for the track

Yeah they're fine but eventually you'll want more, as always.

I've got a $1,000 budget set up in it's been fine for Sandown and Calder in my full weight R34 sedan, though I'm not a brave braker (yet).

DBA discs, Remsa 650C cheapie pads, braided lines, high temp fluid, BMC stopper.

I ran last two track days with fresh R888R real semis with a skinny 225/45R17 square setup, no issues with braking performance (except uneven pad wear but that's a different story: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/463353-post-track-day-qs-rotor-wear-gearbox-oil-ps-pump-manifold-nuts/ ).
