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.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
