Upgrading R32 Gts25 Calipers To R33 Turbo


Recommended Posts

hi sorry i have looked everywhere but cannot seem to get a definate answer

i own an r32 gts25 non turbo and am going to do the 5 stud conversion soon

im going to buy r32 turbo hubs

and r33 calipers (as i have heard these are the same as r32 gtr brake calipers)

now as u can see there is a difference in the size of the rotors between the r32 turbo and r33 turbo

now will that mean that not all of the brake pad will be touching the rotor as coz the r33 brakes are meant for rotors that are 16mm bigger???

R33 Gts-t 296mm

R32 Gts-t 280mm

just need an answer from someone i guess who has converted there r32 turbo brakes to r33 ones??

and btw im going to buy r32 slotted and gold passivated rotors from rda brakes

thanks guys

R32GTR gear is 2mm thicker (disc & caliper spacing) than R33GTST gear if that helps. everything else is the same

    • Heaps of historical info on this, a quick Google gave dates back to 2012, all talk about identification markings, dimples, shapes of mounting surfaces, washers, that are concave or something to match the fasteners mounting surface, which ARP states that if the washer, if it uses a washer in its application, isn't the right way around, it can cause premature failure,  even if it was torqued up correctly with whatever lube is meant to be used There is even talk about getting the bolts Xrayed to check the structure, one was about some builder getting multiple sets of bolts, having them Xrayed, and picking from those results Nowadays identical "looking" fake parts, in identical looking fake packaging are everywhere, with all the markings and stuff, the only way you know they are not legit is Xray or when they fail I assume if you don't want fake parts, and don't have a Xray machine handy, is to get them directly from ARP in the USofA, aftermarket rod and head bolts aren't something to take for granted  Imagine building a big dollar build only to find you lunch it because of an inferior fake fixture let go 😫
