Just orderd a set of front rotors for my gtr and they are way to big. The place i orderd them from are tllelling me that 94 model gtr came out with brembos not standard nissan calipers. My rotors measured up at 296mm.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Should my car have brembo calipers or did they order the wrong rotors?

Thanks, lozz

They ordered the wrong rotors. According to the DBA catalogue, R32 GTR 08/89 - 12/94 use the 296mm rotor. Later models had optional Brembos.

Just send the rotors back and tell them you need the 296mm rotors (DBA cat 4926)

Not true, there trying to cover up there mistake obviously

Only the V-Spec models as mentioned had the Brembo's as standard, if they FASTED your VIN number before ordering then that would of given them right part numbers. If they did FAST your VIN and this is the rotors that are meant to be on it then i'd be real curious as possibly you own a V-Spec that someone has pilered the brakes off

Thanks guys. I read some where that gtst calipers and 33 gtr rotors fit with an adapter brack for the r32 gtst calipers made by gk tech. Are these rotors the same as the 33 gtr rotors? I can get a set of gtst calipers cheap and then ive got a cheap brake upgrade

Cheers, lozz

No. Not true. The caliper adaptors suit the R32 (and S14 and Z32) calipers which have shorter legs than than the R33/GTR calipers. The only "upgrade" you could do would be to get some old R32 calipers and the adaptors to use those 324mm rotors. But the R32 calipers are not as stiff as the later ones. They creak and groan and carry on like a pork chop.

There are not rally any decent options for spacing the R33/GTR calipers out to 324mm.

cheers

Im confused the legs on the calipers are longer on the gtr ir the legs on the hub? If it the calipers then i can swap them ouf for gtst one i can got for next to nothing. Are you saying its not a cheap upgrade worth doing because they creak and groan or do they flex to much and ruin the brake pedal feel?

Cheers, lozz

im begining to find nothing is cheap when it comes to gtrs

PRECISELY

Welcome to owning a GTR

Have a hunt around for a Brembo package for simplicity or if you have look in Group Buy section at moment there in final stages of the D2 6 and 4 pot brake upgrade packages

thanks mate. is there any cheap worth while brake upgrades for r32 gtr? im begining to find nothing is cheap when it comes to gtrs

cheers, lozz

I bought a front set of R33 GTR Brembo's, which are a direct fit on the R32 GTR,

A decent street setup.

Yeah you should go the D2 group buy. There is no such thing as a cheap brake upgrade for a GTR.

You'll want more than 324mm in the future anyway, those things are really hard on front brakes.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
