Ok my skylines a 4stud... ive just done my turbo conversion and i feel the need to upgrade the brakes so ive already got the 4spot front and 2spot rears + new rotors + nismo brake lines.... aside from redrilling the rotors to suit the 4stud and bleeding the brakes etc... i dont know what to do lolz.... ive got a mechanic (hes a mate whos offered to help me out on this) but i just wanna make it as easy and do it as quickly as possible is there any other problems i am to encounter? backing plate? (the thing that keeps the brakes warm or something... how about that? where abouts do you mount the calipers itself like from what it looks like it bolts onto something.

help me please ta

dunno what the go with the forum pictures is...

i've done the upgrade, predator has done something similar on his non type-m r32.

it is relatively straight forward. from your questions however, it seems you lack the basics.

likely problems

- caliper clearance for rims (spacer?)

- banjo bolt length

- stone deflectors may need to be bent back

backing plate, are you talking about shims? or what is generally referred to as the backing plate and is held down by two pins - th backing plate presses the pads down making sure they only slide against and away from the rotor.

calipers mount straight up to the caliper mounts, no modification required there.

what caliper/rotor combo do you have? R32 type-m sumitomos? r33 sumitomos? brembos?

r32 calipers might be the better bet. s13 rotors have the same measurements as the standard r33 gts25 :)

i had custom slotted dba rotors made up (weren't cheap).

hope that helps.

yeah ive got r33 calipers, hope it will still fit on nicely, going to do it this coming weekend

33 calipers are better because they're bigger.

both have the same degree of easiness to fit.

32 rotor diameter is the same as s13/180sx/gts25...

i've heard of drifters mix and matching 32 calipers with s13/180 slotted rotors - saves you from redrilling everytime, and a little more variety in slotted rotors

Hey there guys, i know this is an old thread but it exactly what i am doing, i have exerything fitted rotrs and calipers for the r33 gts-t on the 4-stud set up but like EUG mentioned i am having problems with rim clearance even using a 8mm spacer (it rubs on the raised nissan) and also i think the banjo bolt is too long in length, any information on this will be greatly appreciated.

cheers hame

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
