Hi guys when i got my R32 it was originally a RB25de auto, so we put the RB20det and 5 speed in. We looked at the disks and they are the same size as the gtst but 4 stud and the calipers are a lot smaller. Will the gtst calipers bolt up to my car without having to change much, i dont want to do the 5 stud conversion because i already bought 18" wheels for it, thanks.

Russell.

You will more than likely have to use R32 GTST or R33 GTST discs and calipers for the job.  You will just need to redrill the discs to 4 stud!

Really? even though my discs are the same size. Anything else need to be changed, i was hoping i could just do calipers, lines and master cylinder.

i know that non turbo R33 rotors are exactly the same as R32 gts-t rotors, but use a floating caliper

a lot of people do this upgrade for silvias cos theyre 4 stud, so no redrilling is needed, and then they just whack the R32 gts-t calipers on

mine and gordon's thread respectively...

the calipers on my car (R33 GTS25) bolted into the original spots with no issues... and if the rotors are in fact the same diameter I dont see why not.

although you "might" have some brake line issues as they are mounted differently with the sumitomos than with the sliding pistons.

i had braided lines made up with custom fittings so that they mounted in standard positions but the fitting from the line to the caliper were changed to something more suitable.

hope that helps

cheers

    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
