Stagea Brakes

[PN-Mad]

There is no certain way to just tell if they will fit. You can either take a wheel and fit it on a gtr you find to see if it fits, or lay the brakes down inside the wheel and try that way.

We can't say offset of + 20will fit, because it's mostly about the spoke shape. They will fit over the brakes ok, it's just the spoke clearance you should check.

Good price too.

+1 to alex

nothing to do with offset, all about back space

also, your looking for anything R34 (gtr or gtt)

i got mine through this guy

http://stores.ebay.com.au/Skyline-spares

was really cheap too (compared to what some ppl try and flog them off for (i paid $330 for calipers only)

So I guess the $300 I paid for R34 GT-t calipers, pads, clips, shims and an untouched set of rotors is pretty good then...

[wolverine]

I paid $900 for front & rear GT-t calipers + as new front & rear DBA 4000 + as new Bendix Ultimates (not that I like them that much).

[pipster11]

Yeah there are good deals out there but I couldn't find any when I wanted to upgrade that weren't a billion dollhairs

[66yostagea]

I paid $300 for front stock GTSt rotors and calipers. Fitted new pads and seals. So all up $500.

I also have a donated set for when the 25G is turboed.

Hi All,

Does anyone upgraded the brake calipers on a NM35?..im looking just doing the front calipers, anything should be better than the standard single pot. Would the R32gts-t 4pot a straight bolt on? and would my standard rims fits? Theres alot of threads for brake upgrades on early Stageas but not much on later series2 NM35's. Cheers guys.

[zei20l]

dont know about the GTSt brakes, but GTR brakes through the range bolt on. Some need collars on the bolts . cant remember which.

no, standard wheels will NOT fit on after an upgrade, except AXIS rims. and yes i have seen R32 GTR brakes under AXIS rims.

[slippylotion]

All R34/3/2 skyline brakes fit including GTR and GTST. Z33 also fit up. You just need to make sure your a/market rims will fit over them. Stock m35 will not fit over.

[pipster11]

Pretty sure the consensus is that m35's have 14mm bolts like r34's so I'd go that way

Stock r34 gtt brakes are 310mm x 30mm

Gtr brakes will be slightly bigger at 324mm x 32mm but cost a fair bit more

[slippylotion]

Gtr brakes will be slightly bigger at 324mm x 32mm but cost a fair bit more

Only with brembo brakes. So all 33/34 and some V spec 32. normal 32 gtr had 296*32.

Brembo rotors are 324mm x 30mm, not 32mm.

The only Skyline rotor that is 32mm wide is the R32 GTR with Sumitomo calipers (296mm x 32mm). You need to go to the Akebono 355mm rotor to get a 32mm wide rotor.

[pipster11]

well then, that makes brembo's even worse value for money

[Daleo]

That's why I abandoned my original plans & went looking for R34 GT-t brakes.

For a daily driver; I couldn't see the benefit of spending a shiteload of cash to buy rotors that I then had to modify anyway, just for a few extra mm of dia.

I'm sure the Brembo's are pretty special; but for the dollars, they'd want to be.

@Daleo,

Hi, did you just upgraded the calipers from an r34gt-t? Im hoping just to do the same, dont want to spend too much on an upgrade.

What are you planning on doing with the car? If it's just going to be a road car, plenty of us are happy with slotted rotors and decent pads. My brakes didn't give up at Mallala last time I was out.

Yep, not fitted yet; being stripped, coated & rebuilt atm.

Definitely one of the easiest bolt on upgrade without the expense of going Brembo.

Look around, it might take a while, but they come up cheap from time to time.

[M35]

Well im not planning on turning the car into a racecar, it will be just a daily driven car. I felt the front calipers needing a little bit of beef, rather than a single pot. Its just me not wanting to spend too much on big brand names.

[scotty nm35]

My 32 gtr Sumitomo's were great with A1rm pads and DBA slotted disks. I cant remember why I removed them, other than I fell for the shiny Gold brembo's.

+1!!

They will take an 18" with an offset +33 or greater.
