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.

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

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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
