they are basically the same although the caliper is a different physical casting.

disc size the same

pad size the same

4 piston calipers with piston size the same

gtr ones are upgraded more often so they are cheaper and easier to find - but both are an excellent caliper and will be a big improvement over stock as long as your wheels clear them

Doesn't the gtr ones accept slightly thicker rotors as well? Also from the looks of it the brake lines are different, I had a set of r32 gtr calipers and there was a hard brake line which screwed into both the caliper then when I bought some r33 gtst calipers they were all soft lines, if that makes sense...

lol not sure about the value of the distinction

they are the "same" for all intents and purposes.

they take the same pads

they use the same mounts

they have the same size pistons

they weigh the same to within a few gm

they take the same size discs (you can run either 30 or 32mm thickness, you will find most aftermarket suppliers make 1 size for both)

they perform the same

32 gtr are easier to find

shane you are quite right about the 32 gtr hard piping but that can screw right out, then the same brake lines are used as the 33 gtst caliper.

Thanks for clearing that up for me :)

Learn something new everyday - thicker rotors ftw!

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
