I bought a set of r33 gtr brembos

but the disc rotors looks a bit damaged,

can i used back my oem r32 gtr disc rotors??

of must i need the bigger diameter disc.??

is this a direct bolt on??

does anybody know wher i can get brembo rotors ?? front n rear?

also i need the pad, where can i buy some??

whats the diameter difference??

i know front is 325mm and 295mm, what about the rear?

Yeah same as normal rears mate.

You sure?

DBA list the povvo pack R32 GT-R rears as 297 dia x 18 thick. The R33 & R32 Vspec are 300 dia & 22 thick.

The other thing you need to do when bolting up a Brembo rear to a non Vspec R32 is bash the stone guard to get it out the way. The bit near the hub fouls so bash it gently - with a hammer.

Or just grind the stone guard off completely.

A few things about the rears that I discovered doing the conversion:

The inner pads wear like a bastard if you don't remove the stone guard.

The upper outer link on the rear suspension is pretty close to the guard so be a bit carefull that you don't get too much heat onto the bushes. I taped mine over with some metallic tape so help reflect the heat.

The guard (from memory) hooks in under the hand brake shoes so you can't remove all of it.

Oh and the hoses from the R33 are too short for the 32's.

But you can use the lines from the R32, you also need to make sure you have the bolts off the R33 as they are a different pitch to the R32 caliper. Get rid of the shield all together, its not that hard, you just need to drill out the spot welds or just tin snip and rip back and forth until the spot weld rips. Then just file off any sharp edges.

You can even use the std brackets etc with a small 10min tweak per bracket. (i run aftermaket braided lines on my R32 before upgrading to the GTR rears, so should point out that my aftermarket R32 braided lines worked perfectly with the GTR Brembo rears)

I am trying to remember why my 32 lines did not fit (or seem to fit). They were a bit different. It was easier for me in the end to get some new lines seeing as I upgraded everything else.

The Brembo bots are 1.5mm pitch, the Sumitomos are 1.25mm like most of the other Nissan stuff.

Shit! I may have been wrong it seems re the rear rotors, my sincere apologies mate, my old memory is failing as I just couldn't remember changing the rear rotors when I put brembos all round on my 32 GTS.

Sorry again. Oopsy!

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
