Putting Gts 4 Piston In Rear And Gtr 4 Piston In Front?

[LedZepLen]

I wan't a fairly cheap brake upgrade for my 89' r32 GTS-T and i was thinking about finding spacers to fit larger rotors for the stock brakes or using my stock front brakes in the rear and usung gtr brakes in the front.

Is this possible?

Can i make my own spacer brackets (very good metal fabricator)?

I know neither of these options is technically legal so are they possible for someone who can't put $7,000 into increasing brake power but need something to slow from high-speeds at the track.

Any insight? Any laughs? Any ideas?

Interested too..

Been thinking about the same thing.

You wouldnt be able to use the front disks thugh due to the handbrake

Rears are the same size anyway. Don't use fronts on rear as that will severely upset the brake balance as well as being an engineering h/f.

Throw the gtr ones on the front, or get the adapters for your calipers with 324mm discs.

Most of the braking effort is carried by the front brakes. So, I see little point in fitting massive brakes on the rear. In the worst case, you will get rear-end lockup every time you apply the brakes, due to the increased efficiency of the rears. As a best case, you risk having massive pedal travel, considering the difference in volume of the 2-pot pistons vs the 4-pot pistons (I'm guessing the 4-pots are larger displacement).

no you cant easily and there is no point anyway. you would be left with a car that constantly locks rear brakes and has little front braking effort so wouldn't pull up very well either.

how quick are you going at the track? How much power? and what tyres do you run?

for 90% of guys on circuit a decent front brake upgrade with standard rears is good enough. eventually if you get really fast you may need to upgrade the rears. but unless you are at that point I would just do it for no reason.

Anyone know where to buy adapter plates to further inhance gtr front and rear brakes? i didn't really think about the balance i just thought with running the widest R compound tires i could fit i could use some good stopping power but times and preservation definitely are the only real important qualities.

Also, would i need the mastercyliner from a GTR or is the GTS one capable of running the larger calipers?

standard master is fine with GTR calipers. and if you are talking 32 GTR calipers then they are the same, just rotor size and calipers 'look' a little different. 296mm front rotor GTR vs 280mm front rotor GTST. 33 GTRs run brembo fronts with 324mm rotors and if going to them it can be worth changing to a 33 GTR master too, but not 100% neccesary as piston sizes are very similar.

look at running an adapter bracket with 324mm front rotors and keep your current calipers. good pads and fluid and that's a good start. www.nismo.com.au sell those brackets and rotors.
