I just bought some R32 Brembo calipers and rotors for the front to replace my standard sumitomo calipers.  However it seems that the bolts from the standard calipers don't fit the brembo calipers.  The holes on the brembos are smaller so the the bolts don't fit.  Can someone verify this?? Any help is much appreciated.

I woulds say you haven't got GTR brembos. GTR sumitomos are M12 bolts, 32 and 33 Brembos are M12 bolts. 34 Brembos are M14 bolts. so if the calipers you have bought accept bolts smaller than M12 then there is something wrong with them :P

I just had a another look at the brembos... The standard GTR sumitomo bolts are the right size except for the pit

h.   It seems as though the pitch of the thread of the brembo caliper is different.  Looks like its 1.5   where as the bolts are 1.25 ???

I'm gonna visit my nissan dealer and to verify this.  But I would like to hear from anyone who is familiar with this situation.

I encountered a similar problem. every one told me the brembos are 1.25 but they looked much coarser to me. 1.5 looked about right. grab some M12X1.5 bolts and see how you go.

I ordered the bolts for the Brembo's from my local nissan dealer.  I got the bolts today.

I have now verified that the bolts from the stock GTR calipers do not fit on the Brembo's.  The pitch is different.

GTR sumitomo's are M12x1.25, Brembo's M12x1.5.

I hope this helps others who buy R32/R33 Brembos to put on normal R32 GTRs.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

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

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
