r32 gts-t brakes

[makaveli]

Hi guys,

My r32 gts-t brakes look different to my mates 32 gts-t brakes.

They have little fins in the front calipers and say sumitomo on them, is that normal for the 32 gts-t's?

thanks

sounds like r32 gtr calipers

[makaveli]

the calipers look similar to 300zx ones

wit lil finns on the outer side of the caliper

[makaveli]

and it says sumitomo on the out side of it.

heres a pic

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.

sumitomo is just a brand name

they manufacture parts and machinary if that helps at all

tanx guys

just my mate has a 92 r32 and his brakes are different.

mine is a 93 r32.

would it be better upgrading to 33 gts-t brakes?

[CerealKiller]

maybe he has a Type M?

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.

yo dude, i've noticed mine are also different to your mates- alex's brakes, i also have the fins on mine and he doesn't. Heard u got ures remapped, goin quicker?? i kept up with alex the other day on the freeway, well close enough.

[makaveli]

yeah buddy the re-map is great!

last nite i beat a vn wit a 355 stroker by 3 car lengths

hehe

he was that pissed at the next lights he did a u-turn

or maybe he chewed all his fuel.

hehehe

mine also has the fins, and is a 1992 type M, but all the 32 turbos i have seen have had finns on the calipers!

[RaseR]

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?
