The diffence between the two are GTR measure 296 x 32 and GTS measure 280 x 30

I upgraded to GTR front brakes on my GTS and it is a worth while upgrade out on the

race track I had no brake fade at all and they felt very strong and consistent.I still used

the GTS rims (16 x 6.5) GTR are (16 x 8) and the only drama that I had was the the rim

was very close the the Nissan logo on the caliper about 2mm gap so what I did was file

the logo off and repainted them in high temp paint.With after market wheels this won't

be a problem apart from that it is 100% bolt on fit.The rear brakes on the GTS are the

same as early model GTR's same part number on the rotors and pads.

I think your money would be better spent on good pads, and when the 280mm rotor screams enoough then consider changing to another Skyline brake setup then, but i think you will find that on the street you wont notice any difference at all. A

At the track, if you go then i think again you will be hard pressed to tell the difference between the setups if you are running the same pads. But no doubt it is a good upgrade but maybe not so budget by the time you buy the GTR calipers, buy new rotors, and throw your pads in there it is probably a $1000 upgrade,

Not meaning to sidetrack this at all but a semi-relevant question..

Roy, What do you think are the biggest brakes to fit on the front of a gtst/gts4 under a 17x8 rim (unsure of offset but all inside guard)?

Currently I am running r32 gtr sumitomos with 296 rotors. I am thinking of going to dogbones and 324 rotors with these callipers.. do you have an opinion on this?

James.

Yeh, the 324mm will fit under majority of 17" wheels, I know i have never had a set of wheels that have clashed with my 324mm setup, and i have probably had 8-10 set of wheels on the car.

Biggest problem i have had is going to an aftermaket caliper with 330-343mm rotors which is when it becomes dependant on wheel types and quality, along with offsets etc.

33gtst setup is pretty much the same as 32gtr but a tad heavier, I'm running them but I put braided lines and a master cyl stopper in at the same time so can't really comment on just the calliper/rotor upgrade.

I don't know what people charge for 32gtr brakes but 33gtst would do the job without the gtr tax..

Alcon make 343mm, CSC/B-spec make 343mm. Performance friction also make 343mm. Project U make 345mm. RDD made 343mm, Biot make 340mm. Brembo/Stoptech/Dixcel all make 332mm. Alcon, AP and Wilwood all make 330mm. Just Jap and the G4/K-sport along with Greddy do a 330mm rotor as well. Then you have a bucket load of people making 324mm replacement rotors for GTRs and Supras

After getting halfway through this project, and then finding that I needed to remove both front driveshafts as 3x cv boots were stuffed and had to be repaired in between, It seems that I have a rare set of 17" rims that the 324mm discs and caliper adapters will not fit under..

Seems that the inner diameter of these gmax m100 rims are just too close.

Just a heads up for anyone else heading this route. Now I have to work out which way to go.

ffs.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
