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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
