hey

i have a r33 gts4

i was wondering, if i was to get the rotors redrilled to 4 stud would i be able to put the calipers and rotors onto my gts4?

anyone have answers?

thanks

I don't see why not, as long as they clear your wheels?

i believe all gts4s have abs? if so then you will need gtr brakes.

if not then it should be alright.

rotors and calipers are a very good upgrade if you like the occassional track work or like a well handled car without having the issues and ongoing costs of a turbo car.

i have an r33 gts with r32gtst calipers and rotors front and rear... so far the only issue has been my spokes from my rims not clearing the bigger brakes.

i've got a street set of 17x7 rims which run spacers, and a track 17x8 rims which do not require spacers...

its all about the spoke design - so its best to do the conversion BEFORE you buy rims.

i have aftermarket volk racing rims 17x8, and yeh gts4 have abs, but insted of doing a hub conversion i would rather just put the rotors and calipers.......btw do any gtst have abs?

well i'd like to say that even with volks you'll be ok - but i've found it seems to be on an individual basis - you'll have to look into the thickness and height of the rotor hat, etc, spoke design. i suppose you'll find out when you do it. so keep that in mind - as there's no real way to measure the "X-factor" of the spokes. offset has some part influence but not entirely.

well you are going down the same lines as me as i have custom DBA 4 stud r32 gtst front slotted rotors and redrilled r32 gtst rear rotors - also because i had a set of rims i didnt want to get rid of.

to answer your question: yes some gtst's have abs.

i am not sure what the implications are of using RWD GTST calipers and rotors with an R33 GTS4 setup.

to be safe I'd be more inclined to go with a GTR setup or an R32 GTS4 setup - just so it doesnt mess with your attessa system.

what i'm currently looking into now and one of the reasons for going with an R32 GTST brake setup is that the 180SX/S13 stud pattern is the same i.e. 4x114.3, and the thing is that they also have the same diameter rotor discs. sooooo.... my point is that it MAY be possible to run R32 GTST calipers with 180SX rotors, thus not having to get custom rotors/redrilling rotors all the time and also giving the option of slotted/cross drilled rotors which are not so readily available for the non-turbo skylines.

of course then there's measurements of the rotor hat and that may put measurements out again.

hope this helps and puts things into perspective

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
