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 can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
