Sumitomo or whatever it is is just what's printed on the standard gts-t calipers. Its what I have on my R33 and most I've seen.

I think some of the earlier r32 (and maybe some r33) have some brakes that are stamped with something else. I think they're pretty much the same though in terms of stopping force, etc.

Yeah R33 brakes will be a pretty good upgrade for an R32 GTST, They produce good stopping power on an R33 which is a fair bit heaiver than an R32 and I believe that the 33 rotors are bigger which will help with brake fade issues aswell.

Mine also has the fins on the brake calipers and are stamped 'Sumitomo', it's a '92 GTSt Type-M...My friend used have an R32t as well, its brakes were identical to mine....The only other brakes I've ever seen on a '32 are the puny GTS style and the big GTR ones...wierd

Every R32 GTST with std brakes i have seen all have the same calipers you describe.

If the external appearance is smoother but still says Nissan on them then its possible he has R33 GTST calipers or R32 GTR calipers.

As for upgrading to R33 calipers i dont really see the point, rotors maybe but not caliper.

They have the same number of pistons and same piston diameters and still only accept the 30mm thick rotor. The R32 GTR brake caliper again is still 4-pot and has the same size piston diamter but can accept a 32mm thick rotor.

My R32 has the same brakes as urs too, its a 92 type m, brakes have heat sink things and sumitomo printed on them

A bit off topic but can you use r33 disks in an r32? I know they are slightly larger diameter, will they fit?

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
