The GTR brakes on the Z proto are appealing because they are bigger than the ones and…come on the car.

They arent fully track worthy either because they’lll have dust boots and street pads and street lines and street fluids. We also don’t know how good airflow will be to them yet

So…better than akebonos. Not as good as the stuff track junkies will want

Also, I have no experience personally, but reading the gtr forums, it seems like pad changes are a bitch in those calipers


If you owned a z34 and wanted a functional brake upgrade for hardcore track use, you’d pay Darkjak for his custom AP racing setup

If you wanted a cheap upgrade for light sporty driving you want Akebonos which will be way less than the GTR brembos bc of availability

If you wanted a cool brand on the spec sheet for show, you can get the gtr brakes or nismo

There may come a time when the GTR brembos with appropriate brackets from the Z34.5 become cheap and available enough to be as good an option as the akebonos but I don’t foresee that for years
