Hey, I'm trying to put together a set of R32 Skyline front calipers and rotors. I have the rotors off of a 4 door R32 GTS-T but I'm not sure what model my calipers came off of(GTS or something). Well, my rotors will not fit in between the brake pads in the caliper. The only way they fit is extremely tight and that is when the caliper is open all the way too. I posted some pictures of the calipers and rotor I have here. Please check them out and help me identify what model of Skyline these pieces came off of. Thanks for any help.

You're right those calipers look almost identical to the ones that came off my R32GTS25, the GTS rotor is only 20 - 22 mm so you will have a hard time getting the 28mm GTSt rotors to fit.

Hi Zushi,

The calipers you have linked on ebay are exact same as R32

R32 and Z32 same. They are much better than those single

piston things you showed first snap them up if you can

alot easier to start with.

Hey, so those 300zx calipers that I put a link to will bolt on to my S13 front spindle and fit over my R32 GTS-T rotors right?  Let me know.  Thanks.

so you've just put r32 rotors onto a s13 front, i think the only thing to think of is the calliper mounts and the rims you'll be running!

Hey, well I put S14 spindles/hubs on my S13 to make it 5 lug. I have R32 GTS-T rotors, i wanna know if those 300zx calipers will bolt to my s14 spindle? The should fit behind my wheels, I have some 17" OZ F1 rims that came off of an R33 GTR. Think those calipers will work?

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      So I raised the car up a fair bit for shipping - see image - then lowered it again when it arrived. I then rushed to get an alignment in NL before the track and the shop just wasn’t anywhere near as precise as what I got in Japan. The guys that did the alignment this week said there was a fair amount of toe in the rear that could have contributed to the understeer. It was also the case that the rear camber went from about -2 to -3 at the shop in NL. However, since I’ve now got slightly wider tires in the rear - NS2Rs run wider than Accelera 651S - I could only get a minimum of -3 in the rear now due to clearance. Front is now -2.75 (-2.45 in minutes) due to being raised a bit (previously -3 in JP). So it’s likely a combination of the two factors, camber and toe. The issue now is I have more camber in the rear than the front and the next step on the front Cusco arms will put me at -3.5ish front which seems a bit excessive to me. The weird thing is I’ve never had any understeer at the track in Japan but they are very different circuits - Japanese circuits are much slower than the one I’ve been to here.    I’m probably going to have to start another thread for the E90. The plan is sort of to keep it as a daily but progressively mod it into a track car - honestly, you need a cage for the sort of speeds you go here. Just ordered the M3 front arms btw.  Love the car despite it being in pretty shitty condition. Oil analysis came back okay and it seems to have stopped consuming oil since fixing a load of engine bay things. Saw yours is a 335i right? f**king mistake on my part getting the DI N53 over the N52, fuel economy is insanely good though at 14-16 km/L.   Cheers, it’s great to see the benefits and pitfalls of different places. I’m contemplating going back to the U.K. around next year as the cost of living in the Netherlands is just ridiculous. GF is nagging me to settle and buy a house but I don’t know what LSD to buy.

      Have you seen the Milwaukee Train Horn? It's a beast! I stumbled upon it while browsing for upgrades. I'm thinking of adding it to my ride for some serious sound. Here's the link if you wanna check it out: https://bosshorn.com/products/milwaukee-train-horn. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your method.

      Anybody home...? I used to moderate this part of SAU about 20 years ago... hard to beleive it's still around basically unchanged with all the old posts pinned at the top. Amazing to read all those posts again.  If anyone drops by, I'm still in Japan (Nishinomiya, between Osaka and Kobe).  Cheers 🙂

      Modding V37

      By sonicii · Posted

      Ah, yeah, the diff bushing in the rear subframe, this has been a problem since the start of the V35 in the early '00s and the only solution ever offered by Nissan is a whole new subframe.  Since they are fluid filled, as soon as they form the smallest crack, they leak brown fluid everywhere.  The aftermarket options for the v35 and V36 aren't suitable for the V37 either, Z1 has built an aftermarket option, but a few people have had issues with it. The brace should reduce movement in that bushing, so should extend its life! Did you notice any increase in noise from the driveline?  I know some have installed solid subframe collars and complain about the amount of noise it transmits through to the body, but not sure if the diff brace makes any noticeable difference?
