    Default R34 (Non Turbo) Brakes Conversion to R33 GTR Brembos

    Looking at doing a conversion from the current R34 Non Turbo brakes to a full set of R33 GTR brembos.
    So I know I'll need to change the brake lines as the tips are meant to be different going to use new braided lines. I'm going to need a larger BMC (BM57).

    But I can't seem to find anything regarding the rear shoes. Will the standard R34 rear shoes and hand brake cables work with the R33 brembos? And is there anything else needed for the conversion?

    I'd make sure that the lines wont fit before you go buying new ones. Not sure about the r34 but i know in s-bodies the connection is the same as the r33/z32 brakes. Now i'm not sure about the brembos, they might require a bit more grunt. I know that going from crappy n/a sr20de front brakes to z32 brakes i didn't need to upgrade the BMC at all either. I can imagine that when going to the big brembos there might be more to it.

    Pull your disk of and measure the inside drum piece
    Should be easy enough to find out
    There are a few full brembo's for sale
