R32 Brakes Question

[Tebie]

hi guys

just curious to figure out if R32 GTS4 calipers were 4 pot or something else?

also, if a R32 GTR is 4 pot or what the difference is between the twp types.

and what the sizes are both rotors?

and what all is needed to upgrade a R32 GTS4 front brakes to a R32 GTR setup?

thanks

chris

GTS4 is a 4-spot caliper, using the same pads as GT-R. The GT-R has cross-drilled rotors, which might be slightly larger diameter (check at dba.com.au). I have found that slotted replacements and braided brake lines provide more than adequate stopping power for a GTS4.

they are slightly different calipers, but use the same size pads. the GTR rotors are bigger, 296mm vs 280mm for the GTST ones. rears are 297mm GTR vs I don't know what for GTST (think they may be 297mm too).

if you want to swap to GTR set-up you will need GTR calipers and GTR rotors. that should be it,.

[MADGT4]

I can deff confirm that the rear disc's are the same and the front's are larger in diameter (GTR compared to GTSt)

[Ronin 09]

believe that the GTR caliper is aluminium and GTSt and GTS4 is iron... could be wrong though!

[Tebie]

ok then, if the GTS4 already uses the same size pads as the GTR can i keep my standard GTS4 calipers but use the GTR rotors?

i am under the impression that the GTR rotors are bigger... or are they the same, just slotted?

Slotted no, drilled yes, well some were, either way front GTR disc's are different rears are the same

did you read any of the replies in your thread? I already said:

"if you want to swap to GTR set-up you will need GTR calipers and GTR rotors."

and:

"the GTR rotors are bigger, 296mm vs 280mm for the GTST ones."

sometimes I have to admit I wonder why reply at all...

Pretty sure my gtst calipers are alloy, when i filled the paint of the nissan logo it was quite soft and shinny like alloy. mind you this was 5 years ago so im not 100% either Ill have to have a look at my car next time im at the shop.

Are you sure?

Im quite sure my GTR Rear rotors are smaller then my GTR front rotors

[djr81]

Yes he is sure. Or atleast I am on his behalf.

Rear diameter is 297, front is 296.

yes i did see the replies

thanks very much for mentioning that...

all i wanted to know is,

since the GTR uses the same pads as the GTST, can i use my GTST calipers but throw in the GTR rotors?

and if it would work?

not too difficult to understand that is it?

[MADGT4]

"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII EVERYBODY"

Sorry

Back to business.......

You have answered your own question.

[blind_elk]

and if it would work?

And the Baron had already said:

not too difficult to understand that is it?

[Beer Baron]

not it's not difficult to understand at all.

is it difficult to understand this?:

"if you want to swap to GTR set-up you will need GTR calipers and GTR rotors." to read between the lines a bit here.

edit: lol the blind elk beat me too it.

edit2: yes i'm positive GTR front is 296mm GTR rear is 297mm.

edit3: i'm not trying to be a prick here, but you asked a question, i answered it. you read what you wanted to read and got narky.

[Tebie]

all i am after is a simple yes or no to my question

i dont see that anywhere???

no

also blind_elk

i do understand that if i wanted a GTR set up i would need the GTR calipers and rotors

but... i dont neccesarily want a GTR set up.

i would rather just use GTR rotors and keep my GTST calipers, if that works

that is what i want to know...

[Beer Baron]

i think chris is on the right track now.

for front brakes:

GTR rotor needs GTR caliper (296mm rotor)

GTST rotor needs GTST caliper (280mm rotor)

the both use the same size pad

for rear

both use the same pad

both use the same rotor (297mm) - yes rears are larger than front. trust me. it's true.

[gts4diehard]

another thing is the front gtr rotors are thicker...

[Duncan]

the point that everyone is trying to make is that a caliper is built for a certain disc diameter, it needs to sit at the correct distance from the hub for the disc you are using.

so....if you change discs you will need to change calipers as well

[Cubes]

lol.

Funny thread.
