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

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
