I'm looking at replacing my front rotors and calipers with those off a R33 GTS25T.

Has anyone done this before?

I have heard they bolt straight on, and apart from a brake bleed/fluid, all should work just fine?

Cheers, Chris

I think the only differance is that 32 GTR rotors are a 2mm thicker than 33 GTS25T, and the same diameter (296mm compared to 280mm on ours)

A set of R33 GTR Brembos would be nice - but they'd cost a fair bit

Do you reckon that the master cylinder will still be OK? I can't see any dramas with swapping calipers, so it should be OK. I'm hoping to swap mine over and pay the differance for the calipers and get some DBA slotted rotors with decent pads, probably from Race Brakes or somewhere similar

Master cyliner will be fine, the brakes have just got bigger pistons giving more force but they are not large enough to cause a problem. I saw some 33 Brembro on performance forums for 1600 which is a good price. But i want the option of being able to use 16'' wheels so the 32 gtr brakes are the go and with decent pads and braided lines will give good performance for the lighter gtsts like ours.

im with slip here, eheck your pads, if low, replace with some decent pads, then get some good fluid in there, i used the motul race stuff, its apparently better then dot5.1....

and it made a hell of a difference, you will be surprised the crap that will come out when you flush your system.

For WW2 you will need things for GO mate, non of this slowing down bisso. Look at grepin, he's now got 60% more power than stock and his brakes and fluid are the same from when the car left the factory in Japan!

Im with Slip,

I've got an R33 gtst

bought a set of DBA slotted rotors, only to put them on and find

that both the width and ofset were wrong..

actually damaging the rotors

with that DBA refused to take the rotors back even after they assured me they would ... so if you go this way..check them first

:)

  • 2 weeks later...

Didn't end up going with the R33 GTS25T brakes, I got some slotted rotors and Race Brakes pads (of Clint32's car which is getting GTR brakes

Didn't think they would make much a differance, but I was wrong!!

Stops heaps better than before, I can now get that good g-force feeling under acceleration and braking now

Will need a track day to give them a good test, but so far so good

Also, big thanks to Clint for helping me out with them - cheers mate

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
