Hi guys,

just wondering if they are the same between 32gtst front calipers and 33gtst front calipers? what u reckon which one are smaller between them?

how hard of the job to replace 32gtst front calipers with 33 ones? what else need to be changed? eg, rotors, pads, brake lines, etc?

cheers

R32 calipers take 280mm by 30mm discs, 33's take 296mm by 30. R32 GTR's take 296mm by 32. Z32 calipers take same disc sizes as 32's. All four are alloy. S14/15 calipers are iron and take discs the same size as R32's calipers. S14 calipers weigh in at 4.8kg, Z32's weigh in at 3.6kg and R33 calipers weigh in at 3.8kg each.

From left to right, R33, S14 and Z32 calipers.

Sorry I don't have any pics of them comparing it to R32 calipers, I just stole those pics and number from some site I had in my favourites. :thumbsup:

I think you're asking for sizes of calipers so they don't touch your wheels, I've read that R33 ones will clear more than 32's, but don't know for sure. :D

Thanks Adam,

that's the reason why i wanna change mine for R33 calipers

can anyone confirm if the 33 front calipers will clear more than 32's

    • I found a supplier for an arm in NZ. https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-rh-side?srsltid=AfmBOopMdfCFDc_8yVZZ9kq5nIngPHRTBzUU8v4SAptJaRO52Wjs0bC6 I looked closely at the photo of that one and the Z1 arm, and it's the same bloody arm. Scratches all match in the photo 😂 How hard is it to change that joint? Also they seem to be listing two options https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-balljoint-rh-side?_pos=1&_sid=229acde44&_ss=r And now I have no idea what size I'd need yay
    • Ill review it again, from memory when I first saw some of Trailer Park Boys I wasn't a huge fan. I ended up at Letter Kenny after watching Shoresy, which is a bit ass backward, ha ha
    • "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD
    • I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.  
    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
