Maybe it should but it doesn't. Only single piston calipers up front.

I had heard about single piston calipers on 32's and am yet to see one. This confirms it.

If you're going 4 piston calipers keep an eye out for R33 gtst brakes. They bolt straight up and are 296mm not 280mm and often about the same price.

You are right about the gtst with single pistons and 5 stud I didnt belive it until my mate brought on with them on it. and yes its a factory turbo not an na convertion

OK, I had a go at swapping the brakes and I ran into a couple problems. The one that is worrying me is that the S14 rotors are too thick; they rub against the dust shield thingo. Will I be able to use the thinner Skyline rotors safely or do I need to considder modifying the dust shield?

The other problem was that the banjo bolts from the Skyline were too long for the new calipers but I'll just get some shorter ones.

The S14 calipers do not use banjos. They use a flare fitting. You can buy them from any brake shop.

Just cut as much of the dust shield off as you need. Most of us here remove them completely. Depends how much street driving you plan on doing I guess.

It's a non-mspec GTS-T, I've got one too, 5 stud with the puny gts brakes... how are you connecting the calipers (hard-lines, flexis, etc?) as I'm doing the same upgrade in a while and it's always good to hear from someone who's done it already..

Yeah but I've heard of early gtsT's that had em too.

GTScotT's R32 had single pistons on it, it was a factory turbo too and 5 stud. (im not GTScotT)

also had rear brakes that we just couldnt match to anything, pads off some rarity model silvia and 5 stud rotors... go figure...

for conversion use the hard and soft line from the caliper right up to where it meets the chassis rail. the outlet on the chassis rail is the same yet AFAIK the single pots use a one peice rubber line, so you will need the complete 4 pot line caliper to rail.

Glad I came across this thread , Ive got a R32 GTE w/turbo conversion an 4 stud . Was jus gonna fit standard 4 pots pots but if i can fit 33gtst would be beta , any tips tricks or other info i should know . Also car is factory non-hicas which i wanna keep , any help appreciated

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
