Largest Rotor For 17" Wheels & R33 Gtr Brembo Callipers?

[blitzn]

I'm hoping to use R33 GTR Brembo callipers on a project - planning 18" stepped lip rims which will only have internal diameter the same as a 17" rim, but will give me a better rolling diameter with the rubber.

So as my topic title suggests...........looking to find out what are your thoughts for rotor size to suit my application.

Oh also where is the best place to acquire these parts that I will require? - I'm not too bothered.........new or used, happy to receive suggestions for both options.

Cheers.

Use the r33 gtr brembo rotors?

Or get aftermarket slotted rollers for an r33 gtr with brembos?

Im not sure why your asking. Should just post in the wanted to buy section if your happy to go second hand. Otherwise go RDA or DBA rotors if you want new

Keep in mind you can put massive discs on but youll still only ever get the braking force from where the pad touches.

OK.........good point(regarding the surface area of the pad), so what size are R33 GTR rotors??? Thanks. I've had a killer headache all day - sorry if I'm asking stupid questions........my mental state is compromised - but am still needing input

324mm front from what I can find, not sure on the rear. Theres people that sell RDA rotors on here, be worth sending them a PM and seeing what they can do for you. If you are just putting brembo rotors on an R33 GTS-t or R33 GTR that didnt have them standard then should just be a matter of buying rotors made for the 33 GTR V-Spec or whatever was equipped with brembos

Thanks for your help Callan. The project is an old holden. I had a great semi-standard brake set up on a R33 GTSt I previously owned, just had slotted rotors and Bendix ultimate pads. So loving Nissan brake performance, I am looking at the possibility of adapting a Brembo GTR brake set up to my 76 model holden.

Love your GTR btw.

Mine's a GTS-t lol

I'm not sure what the deal will be for a conversion like what your doing. Wether you can run newer model/bigger holden calipers etc or if it has to be a custom job. But if you talk to GSL Rallysport: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/428051-disc-brakes-australia-dba-brake-rotors/

Or maybe email DBA or RDA brakes direct and see what they suggest.

Wow a gtst! The wing and shadows are deceptive - looks very clean....a credit to you.
