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!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      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!
