Ok Here Goes.

I am currently coming to the pointy end of my brake upgrade. But as luck would have it, i need to finalise some details, and my car is not currently at home, so it makes this just a little harder than usual.

I need to know the factory sumitomo caliper bolt specs for an R32 GTR, size, pitch, and length for both front and rear.

After hours of searching the interwebz, and sifting through a whole heap of useless shit, this is what I have come up with.

Front:

Size M12

Pitch 1.25

Length ???

Rear:

Size M10 ???? (I have read both M12 and M10, so I need to confirm)

Pitch 1.25 ???

Length ???

Also can someone tell me what the caliper flange thickness is on both the front and rear sumitomo calipers??

Once I can confirm these details, my caliper brackets can be made and I shall enjoy copious amounts of braking power.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Damo.

Pitch is 1.25 front and rear.

Bolts on an R34 are a size bigger than the 32's so may be adding to your confusion. I dont remember them as 10mm - thought they were 12 as per the fronts.

As for length - get a machine bolt ie one threaded all the way along its length and cut it to suit. You probably wont get the exact length you need anyway.

You havent mentioned grade either - 4.6 or 8.8?

Cant help you with the thickness of the flanges, sorry.

Well the whole point of this is, I would like to use the original factory bolts and get the brackets made to suit. Hence the reason i need this info to be 100%.

But I cant get them off of my car as it is in a workshop about an hour and a half away from home.

As for the length, i wanted to know that for the thickness of bracket, same reason for the flange thickness.

I dont need to buy another set of bolts, I just need the specs.

I have a set on my car and want to use those, but i dont have access to them to get the specs to give to the guy designing my caliper brackets, who by the way is on the other side of Australia, so I cant just give him the bolt.

Already thought of that and asked, they take their sweet ass time with everything, and thought this avenue would be faster, as the guy designing the brackets is going on a few weeks holiday as of tomorrow. So need to get the specs to him by this arvo or I'll be put back a few weeks.

Time is of the essence lol.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
