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

:)

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

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
