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.

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.

They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
