R32 Brakes To S13 Hubs

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

that is sweet, i gotta be doin this soon only difference its with 32gtr calipers. Think they are the same as stock r33 brakes.

The Brakes in my post are "R32 Gtr brakes" non brembo (clearly) lol

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

and for the rear??? have you done that yet? pics??

i have left the rear standard the turbo DR rear brakes are just fine for plenty of power

sorry to bring this up again will the 15" wheels clear the brakes on the s13 hubs?

[Ghostrider]

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...

hey guys

im thinking of upgrading the front s13 brakes

but i cant find any r32 rotors or calipers

i have access to R33 GTR FRONT brembo caliper and rotors tho, can they work? (i also want to keep my 4 stud hub so ill just have to drop the rotors off to the machine shop)

once i know that i can use the r33 brakes on the s13

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
