both are 4 pot, but gtr has bigger 4 pot and they are made by brembo! also the GTR caliper allow u to take bigger dimmeter rotor.

most 2 hand gtr brake are bit over priced IMO as they are 5-7 years old and go for around 2g. for about 3g u should able to get a set of brembo brake kit which come with "brembo drill" rotor, braid line, the lot. And u can choose the color u want as well.

Just a quick question. What is the difference between the standard gts-t nissan calipers and the gtr brembo's, they are both 4 pots ain't they? and is it a worth while upgarde?

All are 4pot.

R33GTR/R32 GTR (VspecII) are 326x30mm

R32GTR (Non-vspec & VspecI) are 296x32mm

R33 GTS-T are 296x30mm

HTH.

I have never driven a GTR and I have never driven a car with Brembo brakes but I would say from my own opinion that it is not a worthwhile upgrade. For a set of front calipers and rotors you would be looking at around $2,000 and you certainly are not going to get $2,000 of better stopping power.

If you plan on using your car at the track often (ie; more than 4x a year) then sure it may be worthy of upgrading to Brembo's as they will give you much more consistent braking abilities over the standard system.

For a fraction of the price you could get a complete DBA setup and I honestly don't think you would notice the difference.

I agree with benm, If you add a decent set of rotors (eg. DBA 4000s), good fluid, good pad (pick one, everyone got a different opinion on what are good pads) and some braided lines and you will have more than enough stopping power for less money than upgrading to brembos then getting good pads, fluid, lines. Unless you take you track work very seriously the above upgrades will do fine.

some interesting stats in this thread re stock vs upgraded brakes....little difference in stopping distance for one off stops....they only make a big difference over repeated stop/when hot...

*edit* and here is that thread

I was quoted $700 for a set of GTR 4 pots.

+ the rotors would most probably set me back in total $1000.

R32 GTR 4 pots are no bigger than R33 GTS-t which can be had for 550 secondhand with disks if you look around.

BTW R32 Vspec 1 disks are closer to 305mm diameter

The pic is 32GTSt compared to 32GTRVspec1 (don't mind the writing on them)

Hi guys, we use R32 GTST M Spec callipers and DBA slotted (never drilled) rotors with Hawke Carbotic pads on our circuit race R32 GTST with RB31DET. The limit of stopping power over a 20 minute race is the tyres, not the brakes themselves. I can lock front or rear brakes on demand, on the last corner of the last lap if I want to. We use the soft compound Yokohama A032R's in 245/45/17, so they are plenty sticky. Unless you are using slicks, I see no reason to go any larger in brakes.

At 1200 kgs the R32 GTST has a fair bit less weight than a GTR, so there may be a case for upgrading if you are over 500 4whp and/or using slicks. But I would be very carefull about jumping straight there. I think you would get better lap speed for your money by spending it elsewhere.

Hope that helps

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
