Hey guys i was wondering if the R33 GTST rear calipers/rotors can be re drilled to 4 stud and bolt up ? i ask this is because i done this with the Fronts replaced the GTS front brakes with the GTST items and now wondering if i can do this to the rears without replacing the whole hub etc?

Cheers

Yep you can get them redrilled, and they do fit a friend of mine did that on his car, although he had to remove the dust shield. Think he also replace the brake booster and master cylinder as well, think he said that on the standard set up the pedal was a bit low or something.

was this for the rear set up for the front set up? because i went to a mechanic and he told me that he cannot install the R33 GTST rear brakes onto my R33 GTS because the R33 GTS rear brakes does not have the inner brake shoe/drum setup or along the lines of that :nyaanyaa: like i would have to change the whole hub ?

i cant help exactly, but on the rear i have replaced my r33 gts25 with:

- r32 gtst rotors + redrilled to 4 stud

- r32 gtst calipers + pads

- necessary brake lines

- removed dust shield

- re-tighten the handbrake to suit

with no dramas, i often use my handbrake in motorkhana/skidpans without fail.

This seems rather weird to me I have a R33 GTS25 series 1, and I've also pulled a part a wrecked R33 GTS25 series 1. Both cars have the drum set up for the hand brake with the rear discs. I've done a brake conversion on a R32 had the same set up as the R33's.

If you want to make 100% sure, and you have a few tools jack the car up, remember to use blocks for the front wheels as the hand brake can't be engaged, remove the wheel, remove the two bolts holding the rear caliper and silde if off the disc rear caliper (still leave brake hoses attached) and remove the rear disc and have a look, I'd be pretty surprised if it doesn't have the drum set up for the hand brake.

Yeah this topic is one that i have been pondering about as i am having the rb25det conversion and need to do something about the brakes sooner or later! I am not made of money, but i also don't want poor braking ability. is there laws on conversions and brake size.

links?

hmmmi guess it should be ok then aye :D hehe mmm ill ring a few work shops and see wht they say but yeah went to one garage and they said its impossible for me to put R33 GTST rear brakes on my R33 GTS as the R33 GTS does not have the rear inner brake thingo's and also they said i need to change my whole hub :P so yeah :P

i duno exactly for na to turbo rear breaks but i could check cause i do have both sitting in my driveway, but i know that almost all cars with disc's at the rear run drum breaks for the handbreak, i cant see y they would change the set-up or even how they could change the set-up for na to turbo, so im quite sure that they would have an inner handbreak and outer disc's for the breaks. i think that the workshop you called probperly just couldnt be bothered, because i know silvias use na 33 brakes as un upgrade then turbo brakes for 5 stud set-ups, i think the main difference is the disc size i dont think you can put na calipers over turbo discs because they are too fat but and like wise the na's are too thin for turbo calipers but if you are transfering everything it should be ok just make sure you get a brake booster too otherwise you'll have less pedal and more sloppy feel.

if your not willing to go with the swap just upgrade your pads and disc's at ther rear that should be enough of an upgrade to take a tubo conversion or more power ect.

ps HAME leagly you will have to have at least the equvelent of turbo brakes for it to be leagal and roadworthy, if you get pulled over they might dick you!

I am currently doing 4-lug to 5-lug conversion on my R33 1994 GTS. As well insalling GTS-T brakes.

Like to add to this tread that I did use the 5-lug hub from Nissan 300zx for the front.

But the R33 & the 300zx shares excatly the same hub & bearings.

You will need some shop press or good bearing puller to to do this.

And to add - handbrake system for the GTS & GTS-T - the same - at least for my car.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
