R32 brakes to S13 hubs

Hey Guys just thought id post some pictures of this mod to show those who don’t know, how simple this is to do.

As when I looked I didn’t find any pictures

Well quite simply (as its been said before) everything fits

-the Calipers fit the mounts

-the disc fits the hub

-the hub/disc/caliper offset is correct

The only mod needed is the re-drill of the stud spacing from 5 stud to 4x114.3

for the discs, another option is to use R33 non-turbo (4-stud) discs. these fit straight on as well with the calipers.

couple of similar pics. R32 calipers, S13 hubs, S13 coilovers, R33 non-turbo discs.

i also cut off all of the stone guard off the back of the hub but you could probably just trim it to fit.

and if you are running a banjo-style fitting. no worries, just shorten the banjo bolts!

These are series 3 Bluebird banjo bolts. thread was the same as the R32 caliper, just used the hack-saw to shorten them, allowing the standard brake line to bolt on to the caliper

i fitted s-13 gear to my hr30 years ago, sinse then i'll converted my r31 aswell, one simple trick, instead of cutting your banjo bolts get a 3-4mm spacer washer and an extra copper washer, about $5 it cost me. if you remove the hub off the s-13 hub carrier you can take the stone guard completely off too.

Nice work

I don't think 15" wheels will clear the calipers on 296mm rotors. 274mm stock DR rotors see out the 15" wheels as far as I know.

There is another issue with fitting the 4 spot calipers to any car and that's a special wheel shape in the back, or use a 20 or 25mm spacer to clear the caliper and if your forced to get it engineered for registration, any spacer is illegal and an instant defect, if found.

I chose to go with the BNR32 rotors on the track DR as CAMS allow the spacer and it's an extra 2mm thicker than the R33 non turbo GT rotor.

Yep, that's pretty much what I found. The 4 spot calipers just stick out too much, so spacers need to be used. I ended up using the 280mm disc and Nissan Stagea 2 piston sliding calipers which, again, all bolt up. No clearance issues and no spacers required. The Stagea caliper is large and iron, so weighs about the same as a small planet. Pads are the largest I have ever seen in a "normal" road car. I had some SBS Dual Carbon pads cut for them (which are no good for the street, but phenomenal when they have some heat in them). Rears are VT Commodore rear calipers on 290mm x 18mm vented discs. SBS pads as well.

I have put 296mm front discs on my 180B, with VT Commodore twin piston calipers. 15" wheels fit nicely. Having said that, it is a very custom setup, and not one for the faint-of-heart...

the calipers will bolt up but you will need to measure the back space/offset and internal size of the rotor to make sure it fits then you can get the rotors re drilled

if you have a quick searh there is lots of info on this

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
