Difference Between Calipers, R32/33/34, Etc

[AirStrike]

Hey all just a quick question. I am building up a VN SS show/circuit car and have decieded on using the 4 piston calipers as found on the Skyline range. My question, is there any difference in the calipers between the models or was the same caliper used? Did the new ones accept a larger disc, etc. Also is there a difference with say the gts-t and gt-r, etc

I will be using HSV 343x32 rotors with these.

Thankx Dave

i c..

32gtr is the same as 33gtst. 298 by 32mm

33/34gtr uses brembo calipers on a 328 by 32mm disc.

32 gtst uses pidly 280mm by 28mm disc.

z32 uses 2800 by 32mm discs.

the brembos use a diferant pad.

the non brembos use a db1170 pad. (common as)

id use the brembos. or try and find some porche brembos. (big reds) as the pads are sutabe for a large discs.

but ferrari f40 calipers are perfect for 343mm disc. (slighty shallower pad from the big reds.)

my advise is ebay to buy them. just do s asearch for "brembo brake caliper"

Cheers Mate. Dont want to go too expensive on the brakes I think the 4 spots will surfice. So with the R32gtr and R33gtst they use the same rotor, but is the caliper the same?

I was thinking something like this?

Also will the calipers I listed above fit on a 343mm rotor? I know I can fit them on a 330mm with out any problems.........

Hell anything is an improvment over stock! 289x23mm with a single piston caliper!

Cheers Dave

Here are the correct sizes:

R32 GTST

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 280×30

R32 GTR (Non V-Spec,)

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×32

R33 GTST

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×30 Different caliper to R32 GTR but same disc diameter.

R32 GTR V-Spec / R33 / 34 GTR with Brembos

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 324×30

R34 GTT

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 310x30

The calipers that suit larger diameter discs have longer mounting legs to space the caliper out further.

When using R32 GTR calipers on 330mm discs I filed out the inside radius a mm or 2, i presume R33 is the same. R34 GTT mightn't need and mods.

Hmmmmmm..............Any one know how to differenciate the calipers from each other?

R32 GTSt / Z32 300ZX

R32 GTR

R33 GTSt

R34 GTt

[AirStrike]

Thanks heaps mate. Now to decied what ones to use.

The R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t calipers look the same to me..........

[shozbot]

The R34 has longer mounting lugs in order to accomodate the larger disc rotor (i.e 310mm vs 296mm)

What is the difference with the Rear Calipers and Discs Sizes?

I have found this thread useful with thinking about a brake upgrade. It would be great as a sticky and would answer a few questions. Just knowing the stats of rotor diameter/thickness and the calipers.

Who makes these sticky's?? It would be great to compile this info into one thread.

I have the specs of a lot of Nissans in a spreadsheet, basically

R32 GTST

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 25.4

Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40.4 ×4

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 280×30

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 38.18×2

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 297×18

R33 GTST

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 23.8

Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40.4 ×4

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×30

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 38.18×2

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 297×18

Now the interesting bit...

R32 GTR (Non V-Spec,)

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 25.4

Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40.4 ×4

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×32

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 38.18×2

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 297×18

R32 GTR V-Spec / R33 / 34 GTR with Brembos

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 26.9

Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - (44+38)×2 ... leading pistons smaller then trailing

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 324×30

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40×2

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 300×22

Good info Troy.

Someone make it a sticky.
