Hi All,

Before you ask, I have done a search regarding rear brake specification and didn't find much beside stuff like their 2-piston, and also use a drum hand brake setup.

When comparing R32 GTS-t and R33 GTS25-t REAR brakes, are there any differences between them?

e.g.

- Size?

- Brake fluid line differences?

- Different caliper mounts?

- HICAS?

I am asking because I would like to install R32 or R33 rear brakes into my 180SX, also converting the rear to 5-stud and utilising the drum hand brake setup.

I am aware for the conversion I would require all from the skyline:

- Calipers

- Rotors

- Hubs

- Hub Uprights

- Drum brake components

- Hand brake cable

- And Possibly a HICAS lock bar if the skyline uprights have HICAS mounts

I was quote a cheaper price for the R33 rear brake setup than R32 from my local wrecker, I don't know why either, thinking that R32 parts would be cheaper..

Your help is truly appreciated, thanks!

Cheers,

Johnny

Apparently R32 and R33 rear calipers, rotors are all exactly the same!

the R33 Drum Handbrake cable is slightly longer.

Im currently doing a 5 stud conversion on my 180sx, the parts im using are:

R33 Rear calipers

R32 Rear rotors

R32 Bakcing plates and Drum handbrake setup

S14 Rear Hubs (r33 or R32 wont fit a S13)

R33 Handbrake cable (drum handbrake cable mounts are required)

hope that helps!

S14 Rear Hubs (r33 or R32 wont fit a S13)

like f**k they wont :)

i done the whole conversion on mine myself and i used

r33 rotors and calipers and brake lines (slight mod to stock solid line)

r33 hubs which bolted straight on..

r33 drum brake setup and r33 handbrake cables

I've heard the whole r32gts-t rear subrframe can simply be swapped. Givgin you 5 stud + brakes in 6 easy bolts :-) Assuming the skyline unit would be bigger and stronger than an s13 one, the diff could also be un upgrade ?

if your goin to swap whole subframe axles hubs and diff get one from a r32 gtr.. bigger axles and stronger.. i'll be doin it to mine in couple months or so.. if i end up blowing my diff or snapping an axle

r32 gtst runs same size axles and diff is about same strength.. not really worthwhile in my opinion

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
