kaaz 1.5

do it and you can thank me later.

shimming's good fun if you own a beat up 32, but if you want it to last, do it properly. Put it this way... ALL the power you make has to go through it. If you wanna wager that on a $1.50 shim go nuts.

shimming just increases the bite point of your viscous, which means there's still slip, as time goes on it'll wear down and cark your diff. Guaranteed. Unless you're prepared to pull down and flush pumpkins after every track day or major fang session.

Been weighing up getting a 1.5way diff or r33 gtr brakes on the car.

Which to do....

you could just drive normally, you know... like when you're not living your life a quarter mile at a time?

Been weighing up getting a 1.5way diff or r33 gtr brakes on the car.

Which to do....

diff before brakes. GTSt brakes aren't that shabby compared to 33 GTR brakes. GTSt diff is pox compared to 1.5.

percentage improvement and smile factor is much higher on diff.

Brake Rotor / Caliper information

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

R32 GTST

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 25.4 area 506.71mm^2Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40.4 ×4 = 5127.58mm^2

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 280×30

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 38.18×2 = 2289.78mm^2 ratio FR = 2.239

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 297×18

total 7417.36 brake to master ratio 14.63

R33 GTST

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 23.8 444.88mm^2Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40.4 ×4 = 5127.58mm^2

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×30

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 38.18×2 = 2289.78mm^2 ratio FR = 2.239

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 297×18

Total area 7417.36mm^2 brake to master ratio 16.67

R32 GTR (Non V-Spec,)

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 25.4

Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40.4 ×4

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×32

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 38.18×2

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 297×18

R32 GTR V-Spec / R33 / 34 GTR with Brembos

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 26.9 568.32mm^2Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - (44+3Cool×2 ... leading pistons smaller then trailing 5309.29mm^2

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 324×30

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40×2 2513.27mm^2 ratio FR = 2.1125

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 300×22

total 7822.56 brake to master ratio 13.76

This is the ratio of master piston movement to overall brake pad movement

R32/GTR calliper ratio 15.43

R33/GTR calliper ratio 17.58

So there isn’t much difference between the Brembos and the std Nissan R32/33 GTST calipers and R32 GTR callipers

Oh...and an old favourite that seems to be a good practical test of what the theory suggests....

Car & Driver did a test a few years ago ...Test Car was a WRX (US Spec which only uses two piston sliding caliper, not as good as Nissan 4 spot or later Model WRX 4 pots)

So tested kits were, std car, std car with upgraded pads and fluid, Brembo F50 Kit, Brembo Lotus Kit (Similar to as fitted to GTRs, 44/38mm pistons), Stoptech it and Prodrive Kit (Alcon)

Stopping Distances 70mph - 0 , 3 Stop

Brembo F50;_____________ 185 / 183 (Average / Best)

Brembo Lotus; ______________ 200 / 196

Prodrive; __________________ 198 / 194

StopTech;__________________ 187 / 186

Stock; ____________________ 205 / 196

Stck with pads and fluid; ____187 / 184

The above figures are all in feet, one stop difference between pad and fluid upgrade to crappy sliding caliper brake setup and massive Brembos is 1 ft...lol 30cms And over 3 stops the average is 2 ft...lol 60cms

So you can see the one stop max of the upgraded pads and fluid is damn good when you consider the $$$ to % difference.

Stopping Distances 100mph - 0 , 25 Stop

Brembo F50; _____________ 299 / 288 (Average / Best)

Brembo Lotus; ______________305 / 294

Prodrive; __________________ 308 / 295

StopTech;__________________ 297 / 290

Stock;_____________________ 340/317

Stck with pads and fluid;_____316/299

Not the world of difference you would be led to believe by the "you need 6pot caliper 343mm rotor crowd."

Specs of the kits:

Rotor Weight (pounds) Size in inches (diam / thk)

Brembo F50;.................15.8......................... .13.1 / 1.3

Brembo Lotus;..............12.9.......................... 12.9 / 1.1

R32 GTST

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 280×30

R32 GTR (Non V-Spec,)

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×32

R33 GTST

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×30 Different caliper to R32 GTR but same disc diameter.

R32 GTR V-Spec / R33 / 34 GTR with Brembos

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 324×30

R34 GTT

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 310x30

The calipers that suit larger diameter discs have longer mounting legs to space the caliper out further.

hmm fair go, will look into diffs

The ford rim spec, I don't have a 33.

33 waslike $1500 full comp agreed value of $25k and heavily modified (all mods listed)

i see. what ford is that?

mmm the new xr6 turbos black on black with the red brembos = tuff

Edited by R-SPEC

isn't that the dude in canada who converted his R32 gtr to R34 look using factory replacement fenders stitched in n stuff?

lol nfi, thats the only pics i stumbled across. Apparently he did it in order to have the ultimate handling for his r32 gtr.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
