No, if the part numbers above are accurate, you have the N/A Z32 BMC... the TT unit is larger, and thus has a bigger piston to do more braking with less effort lol.

Are you using stock brakes or something? With my Z32 setup f/r, and the 17/16" TT booster, I actually think the pedal travel/action is very linear/progressive, not twitchy at all.

boosted_kouki · 07-02-2009, 08:34 AM

with the front 06 sti brembos on a s14, which brake lines are needed?

i currently have the z32 front brakes which has no banjo fitting on the calipers

should the sti front brake lines fit on the s14?

thanks if anyone knows.

if you already have the z32 front brake lines, just use those. I have the spl z32 brake lines on my sti brembos. They work for sure.

s15specR · 07-02-2009, 01:52 PM

z32's, s15's and r32's work.

I have SPL, but used the s15 OE's before.

SPL's are really good stuff, and priced great.

deuceforty · 07-02-2009, 07:16 PM

running evo brembos on an S14. what brake lines do i use? ive been told so many things... stock STI, Z32 etc. whats the word?

I could have made those for you if you were local.

I am using Evo7 calipers with braided hoses and project mu pads with the NA Z32 BMC. Sigh...kind of stuck now with insane sudden braking power. Lol...

J.GENO · 07-03-2009, 11:04 AM

If I upgraded my brakes system with a oem R34 gtr brake system would the front and rear calipers and disk fit perfectly?

OptionZero · 07-03-2009, 01:26 PM

bolts right up

s and r chassis brakes are interchangeable

auxoura · 07-03-2009, 10:33 PM

So anyone got any idea on making my braking more progressive? Mine is too sudden and soft so its hard to judge how much I'm pressing.

Front evo7 caliper and project mu pads.
Rear Z32 calipers.

forum04pl · 07-05-2009, 11:15 AM

Soooo I got new rotors from my older chewed ones for my evo 8 setup and its rubbing somewhere pretty hard. I can barely push the car in nuetral with the parking brake off. I know a few people discussed this awhile back I just cant find out where to file the caliper down a little.

Any info would be appreciated.

ichibans13.5 · 07-09-2009, 08:04 AM

just posted my full sti brake conversion for sale if anyone is looking to jump into one- it worked flawlessly

boosted_kouki · 07-26-2009, 03:11 PM

just got mine installed about a week ago

kouki fanatic · 08-26-2009, 02:51 PM

until then guess I'll be parking in gear like alot of the guys with Z32 rear swaps do that dont swap over the drum brake

u can just use ur standard caliper as a ebrake it works fine

irax · 09-26-2009, 09:36 PM

where did you get an adapter for that?

reflexdb · 09-27-2009, 08:54 AM

Does anyone have Evo front calipers/rotors on an S14 with 5Zigen FN01R-C wheels? I have 17x8 +25, and they don't look like they'll fit. I don't have rotors yet, I've only test fit with the calipers and brackets in place (so the wheel is in-board by the width of the caliper). Just want to see if anyone is running a similar setup...

garagelu · 09-27-2009, 09:33 AM

You should be barely ok. I have 17 x 9 fn +35 and my sti brembo clears by 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch.

roel03 · 09-27-2009, 03:49 PM

FN's clear brakes by a mile.

s15specR · 09-27-2009, 08:30 PM

For the guys with the STI setup, I've been running mine for a while with new pads and noticed that the pad doesn't touch the outer end of the rotor at all ? Anyone seen this ? Is this normal ?

hey how much off is it? even when the STI brakes were on my STI stock there would always about a 1/16th" 'lip' at the top edge of the rotors. Never seemed to be a prob though.

also as I posted (buried) earlier, the rear EVO rotors have the EXACT same diameter as the stock Z33 Ebrake hardware so the Z33 ebrakes should work in the rear exactly the same if you were doing a regular Z33 rear brake swap. Would be great if someone would do this to confirm!

about a 1/4 to 3/8's

garagelu · 09-29-2009, 12:05 PM

1/4-3/8 is a lot. It shouldn't be that far off. Got pics?

s15specR · 09-29-2009, 12:58 PM

I'll take some and post it up, thanks for the help.

Chuvy · 10-14-2009, 04:45 AM

I was gonna do 4 piston Brembos, front and rear, with rotors from an srt8 but am now selling them. This is due to a 2jz with the intent of getting near the 1k hp mark. I was suggested to do 6 piston fronts so I looked into the kit from Arizona car but was informed that the CTS-V 6 piston Brembos, $321 ea, would be a better bet. I have looked everywhere but it seems that the only people attempting to fit these onto their cars is the DSM community. I have spent all night looking everywhere else and it appears that the G8 community is the only other community that can directly fit these. The rotors used on the CTS-V are 14.57 x 1.34 but wonder if the 370z, which are 14 x 1.26, or rotors from a 6 piston BBK from brembo for a 240sx work? anyone have any idea?
