R33 Gtr Brakes On Gtst

hi

What needs to be done to put R33 GTR brembo calipers on an r33 gts-t?

Thanks Michael

First we click the search button.....

You need larger rotors. The internal piston volume is larger so the master cylinder will not provide the right balance and the pedal will move further for the same braking response. This makes it possible to lock the rears easily resulting in catastrophic braking imbalance. OK if you have ABS but the cars I have driven with the mod with and without ABS felt doughy and aweful in the brake pedal. My GTSt has stock brakes with slots in the fronts and good pads and feel sensational, even compared with my GTR33.

Balance is important so you would do well to do the master and all four corners at the same time.

A cheaper option would be larger rotors and a spacer plate at the front for more disc and greater swept area while maintaining balance

thanks GTRgeoff

i was going to just do the fronts only, but i never through about balance, i think i will have to relook the whole approach

thanks again

Cheers Michael

No worries Michael. It's often overlooked and a lot ofmoney to spend for a backwards step. For me, the extra pedal travel upsets smooth heel/toe braking on top of the pinchy rears.

couple that with a nice 1.5 way or 2 way diff and you will be pooing your pants every time you brake hard and downshift for a corner as the rear of your car tries to overtake the front around the outside. lol.

i agree with geoff. i would try some really good pads, and come nice slotted rotors along with good fluid, then some braided lines and a master cylinder brace. you should be then able to exceed the grip of the tyres pretty easily under brakes, and not have to worry about fade much either (unless you are doing many laps at a time).

simple solution is to buy a car with them already on like i did. other then that, by listening to GTR Geoff ul learn alot. my 32 had upgraded front rotors and standard calipers with decent brake pads. but my 33 kinda needs the brembo's....got alot to stop
