Hey guys,

I am friggin confused. Thinking about brakes etc... According to the DBA website:

32R early model = 1989 - Aug 1993

Diameter 296mm x thickness 32mm - Front

Diameter 292mm x thickness 18mm - Rear

32R late model = Aug 1993 - 1994

Diameter 324mm x thickness 30mm - Front

Diameter 300mm x thickness 22mm - Rear

Now the figures on the late model 32R looks exactly the same as the Brembo fitted 32R v-spec.

My question is:

Did the late model 32R come with different non-brembo calipers compared with the early model?

Or

Did they just increase the friggin size of the rotors but kept the same calipers?

Cheers,

Xiao

My 94 GTR (non-vspec) runs the sumitomo setup:

Diameter 296mm x thickness 32mm - Front

Diameter 292mm x thickness 18mm - Rear

Is it possible that a non-vspec got the Brembo brakes? no, because they simply wouldn't fit under the stock 16" wheels, there's a reason why the V-Spec has 17" wheels.

Interesting to hear that your Sumitomo setup uses the above size rotors...

Do a search on the DBA website for "late model" 32 GT-R (non-vspec). It actually gives you larger rotors front and rear.

I know that in the late model 32's they upgraded few things such as the clutch & maybe the rear diff housing... I was wondering if they uped the size of the rotors too but kept the same calipers? Would it even fit under the 16's?

Or is this an error by DBA?

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
