R32GTSt are 280mm rotors.

R33gtst and R32GTR are 296mm rotors (IIRC 32GTR is 2mm thicker).

If you try to run 280mm rotors with calipers meant for 296mm, you will have a bunch of pad hanging over the edge.

If you try to run 296mm rotors with calipers meant for 280mm, you won't be able to bolt the caliper back up.

  • 4 years later...

Bumping and old thread, can anyone tell me what brake callipers are in the first photo, supposedly the second photo is r33 gtst ones. Car is a 92 r32 gtst.

Thinking of buying the upgraded gtr gktech rotors with adapters because they come in similar pricing as some good DBA rotors..opinions on pads?

Edit: measured the rotors on the car, 280mm which means they are 32 gtst? And my spares are 296mm which means 33 gtst or 32 gtr. The front gktech gear doesn't fit with r33 gtst rotors though because if the rotor width difference... ( http://www.gktech.com/index.php/z32-r32-s14-s15-caliper-bracket-to-suit-324mm-r33-gtr-rotor-1.html ) would you buy the gk gear, or put 33s on there? Either way I need front rotors and I'm not sure what's better

The calipers with Nissan written on them are 4 piston Sumitomo calipers, the R32/R33 Turbo coupe models use them as do R32 GTR models.

This stuff is really not that hard.

R32 GTSt calipers are easy to space out to the 324mm rotor that many want to space out to. The dogbone adapters for that are a good design, everything goes together well.

R32 GTSt calipers are impossible to space out to 296mm, so you can never fit them onto R33 rotors. Nor would you bother when you can just buy some R33 calipers to go with 296mm rotors.

R33 GTST calipers can be spaced out to sit on a 324mm rotor, but the dogbone design is not excellent and you will probably need to grind some caliper material. (To be fair, you might even need to do that when slapping 32 calipers onto 324mm rotors also, because the calipers that suit smaller diameter rotors don't necessarily have the right 'curve' to fit onto bigger rotors.)

Nobody will be able to tell you which calipers are in either of your photos, because it is the length of the legs that is the main difference between them.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
