I am in the process of upgrading my rotors to Dba 4000 series and i would like to run the 324mm rotors with my stock R33 gtst calipers.

Unique autosports sell the adaptors 4 $350 but they have advised me that i can no longer run my stock 16inch skyline rims.

Has anyone actually done this conversion, i need good honest advice

1. Does the sumitto caliper sit nice on the 324mm rotor

2. Can i run the stock skyline rims, i really want to keep my car looking original/sleeper

3.Who in sydney can help me with this

please help

1. Does the sumitto caliper sit nice on the 324mm rotor

They dont fit as though they were designed for it, because they werent. But they do fit and they do a good job

2. Can i run the stock skyline rims, i really want to keep my car looking original/sleeper

You can run the stock Skyline rims with a 324mm rotor if you throw away the Sumitomo caliper and throw on an Indycar or other motorsport type caliper that really hugs the rotor and needs little clearance. You cannot run the Sumitomo caliper with a 324mm rotor under a 16" wheel. Just like you cant run the R33/34 Brembo brakes under a 16" wheel

3.Who in sydney can help me with this

I suspect you are speaking to the right people in UAS. John is a but of a brake whore himself and along with their partners in Sydney engineer a lot of components for imports.

Real questio is, what do you do with your car to warrant an increase in brake rotor size? Just run better pads and fluid

    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
    • I think even the "commercial" capacity ones that you would hire from supermarkets etc wouldn't have the capacity to do all that much in one go. I will go through half a dozen tanks of solution and dumps/rinses of the waste tank for one little 2 seat sofa. Or similar for one 6 footish rug. That's the price you pay for something small that only takes up a bit of cupboard space, instead of something that takes up the entire laundry cupboard or half the shed.
