Im about to upgrade my brakes and tyres soon and at the moment just trying to figure out my options

Do R32 GTR rotors fit in a R33GTS-T with standard Nissan Calippers?

I would most probably get some DBA4000 but I can get GTR rotors relatively cheap. Im just wondering if its worthed, because I heard the crossdrilling in the R32 GTR were prone to cracks.

is there anything wrong with changing the front rotors only and leaving everything standard(rear rotors & pads)

and finally what's the widest tyre you can fit on standard R33 GTS-T 16"?

I heard 215s are fine, what about 225s?

I would go the slotted DBA 4000 series rotors, I have them on my GTST and they have be very good. If you plan to do any track days it would probably be wise to stay away from cross-drilled rotors. Nothing wrong with rear standard rotors, I put the 4000s on the rear as well but many don't, the bulk of the braking work gets done by the fronts. Plenty of people run 225s on their stock R33 rims. Don't forget some decent brake pads.

you don't want cross drilled rotors if you are intending to drive hard, they tend to crack through the holes (unless the holes are cast in as they cometimes are in very expensive rotors)

I have a set of r32 gtr calipers and discs for sale if ur interested.

Maybe talk to Roy on these forums abou the options

225s on the stock 6.5" wide rim will probably give you lots of sidewall flex & understeer me thinks

really?? cool, thats what Im after, looking for some semi slick or R-compound tyres to put on a pair of stock rims and use them only for the drag strip, some sidewall flex is always good for 1/4 mile

cant do much else with an auto. :mad:

any suggestions of what brand and type?

was thinking RT215 Azenis, but then read in autosalon that they're track tyres

errr, okay, ur needs are exactly opposite of mine! hahaha

i used to run Dunlop Formula-R D01J, now running RT215. They're both track tyres, tho the RT215 is still a street compound, not 'R' rubber. if ur gonna set aside a set of rims just for drags, and u still want to be listed under street compound, try Nittos? I think thats what some ppl use, tho I know nuts about drags :(

well, i was running the D01J for a long time, so when I went back to street tyres with the RT215, my car felt so smooth and quiet !! don't really notice the tyre noise, but a friend reckons they're a bit noisy - he's using the Falken ST115. Wear wise, seems alright so far after 4 trackdays. First time I'm using the RT215, so can't comment on overall life, etc.

225's are fine on stock r33 gts-t 16x6.5" rims. i ran them on my old r33 all round, and didn't have any problems with everyday street use. can't comment whether they understeered or not, didn't take it on the track.

Nitto NT 555-R's, in 16" are available in only one size - 245/50/16. They fit on any 16" rim between 7" and 8.5" wide. That's too wide for a stock gts-t rims. R32 GT-R stock rims are 16x8s, i'd be looking for some of those or something of similar size.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
