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.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
