I just bought a pair of R33 GTS-T calipers to go onto my R32 GTS ... now to fit them I will require one caliper pin as one was missing ...

Does anybody have a spare caliper pin for a 4 piston caliper lying around that I can buy off them ... I really want to put my New 4 piston calipers on already

All sorted now ... I went to specialty fasteners in fyshwick and got some long ass 6mm bolts and using 2x nuts to secure the bolt so the pads hold securely ...

A little bit of over engineering on my part but trying to find a spare caliper pin to use is pretty hard as none of the Canberra wreckers have any R32,33,z32,s14 calipers and they are not likely to separate 1 pin from the caliper

Yeah specialty fasteners in fyshwick are good for shit like that ... they tend to keep the weirdest sized bolts and such in stock ...

4 bolts and 8 nuts cost me $15 bucks tho but I guess it is quicker than trying to track down 1 caliper pin

The above is very accurate to the R32 GTS brake upgrade as It runs the same brake setup as an S13 Silvia (single piston caliper with 280 mm rotors )

Very very helpful link

As I wish to retain my 4 stud wheels I have to do the following

* Trim up part of the backing plate to fit the larger 296mm rotors (easy)

* Re drill the 5x114.3 R33 turbo rotors to 4x114.3 (only 3 holes need to be drilled in each rotor since it is still a 114.3 pattern

* Longer wheel studs will have to be fitted to the hubs (relatively easy job)

* At least a 5mm wheel spacers to provide clearance for the larger r33 calipers as they foul up on the inside of the front wheels

If you were to widen the track at the front with spacers it is best to do the same to the rear to keep the same front and rear geometry

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
