R32 Gts Brake Set Up

Hi,

I have a 180sx with Mu Rotars and pads in 4 stud. The size of these rotars really limit the type of calipers I can use. The only calipers I found that would suit my rotars are from Endless and would set me back $2,300. I have also recieved alot of feedback from NS.com members that for street driving, the Endless brake kit would be an over kill. Someone suggested I try R32 GTS brakes since they are also in 4 stud and same PCB. I wanted to find out more about the R32 GTS brake set up because I heard that they are also in 4 stud. I am not really keen to do a 5 stud conversion becasue I got a set of 4 stud rims I really like.

What I wanted to find out is:

1) Dimension of R32 GTS rotars? The current rotars I use are 280x22mm

2) Does the R32 GTS use 4 piston calipers?

3) About how much should I be paying for them?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Cheers,

Jon

While I'm not completely sure on the dimensions of the rotors, I'm fairly sure that R32 GTS rotors are 280x22mm.

However, I am very sure that they don't use 4 piston calipers.

Turbo models yes, non turbo models no.

Why not find out about getting the turbo 280x32mm rotors and 4 piston calipers and seeing if they fit... especially see if your rims clear the calipers.....

r32 gtst 4 pots up front

280mm rotors

redrill them to 4 stud

Thanks for the update. Looks like I have few options as to what calipers I can upgrade to. I do not want to re-drill just becasue it is suppose to be illegal. The car is driven by my wife and myself as a fun car and we do not really want trouble with the police.... that would not be fun anymore.

I may just stick with the current SR calipers for the time being. It looks small, and not very good, but $2,300 is probably too much to spend at the moment.

Hey mate I have just finised doing a GTR convesion on my cefiro, you can get R33 gtst front and rear, or 32 GTR or R32 gtst m (dont think type m had drum handbrake). Also need cable and the drum set up for the handbrake, all you need to do is match the caliper to the rotor. so unfortunalty your mu rotors wont fit anything else. And maybe Brake master cylinder. After doing the conversion I recon its one of the most rewarding, safe and enjoying mods you can do. You may be able to get away with a budget of about $800 for 32 type m and $$$$ go up from there.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
