Project R33 GTS Brake Upgrade

[Eug]

Something a few of you might want to consider doing... whether its just for track use, or have future plans for more power.

Definately a possible DIY job - and definately NOT if you havent got a clue.

I did the conversion myself with alot of blood, sweat and tears, heaps of swearing.

Took me a few weeks, but all up a day or two work total:

- R32 Front and Rear Calipers.

- R32 DBA Slotted Rotors Front - four stud by DBA (no redrilling)

- R32 Stock Rotors Rear redrilled to 4 stud.

- ADR approved custom front braided brake lines.

- Bendix Ultimate pads.

- Motul RBF600 Brake fluid.

Its pretty straight forward, but if you need pictures/instructions to carry out this upgrade then i don't think you should be attempting it anyway.

Here's the final result.

Cheers

this pretty much is the same process.. which has everything laid out

Yours looks good though, with proper braided lines and doing it all with quality components. Well done!

does it stop quicker or does it just prevent fading from heating up?

i've been looking for a brake upgrade for a while now. Are the r32 brakes better than what's the r33s. and why not just get a 4-5 stud converter (saw a few for sale here and there ASM had one advertised i think) and then get 5 stud brakes. I'm not meaning to be a nay sayer just genuinely wondering as i have no idea. How much did it all cost you? did you use r32gtst or gtr calipers?

ahh sorry Gordo, I didnt realise that the non-type m 32s had NA brakes...

figured it was a 180/S13 and NA skylines type thing.

MR R33: I plan to have a bit of fun on the track with it, and yes its all to prevent fade and heat.

Kor'axis: 33 brakes are bigger than 32s. The reason I didnt go with the studs was that I already had rims.

They wont stop noticably quicker, but a much more resiliant to fade.

thnx dude, took me a while (read: ~3 months) to find a set that i really liked and would fit the 4 stud pattern. They are a 17x7 rim.
