I want to swap my front brakes for R33 brakes, I have a few questiosn that hopefully I can get a few answers on -

1) Is it just a case of swapping the calipers and rotors for the R33 ones?

2) Will the stock R32 master cylinder be ok

3) What rotors should I run - new stock or something a little better - will be using Racebrakes RB74 pads

4) Will they fit behind the standard rims?

5) Is there any other things I haven't thought of?

:D Chris

Some info on brakes, master cyliners and rotors

R32 GTST

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 25.4

Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40.4 ×4

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 280×30

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 38.18×2

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 297×18

R33 GTST

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 23.8

Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40.4 ×4

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×30

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 38.18×2

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 297×18

Now the interesting bit...:P

R32 GTR (Non V-Spec,)

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 25.4

Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40.4 ×4

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×32

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 38.18×2

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 297×18

R32 GTR V-Spec / R33 / 34 GTR with Brembos

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 26.9

Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - (44+38)×2 ... leading pistons larger then trailing

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 324×30

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40×2

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 300×22

So there isnt much difference between the Brembos and the std Nissan R32/33 GTST calipers and R32 GTR calipers.

If you want a brake upgrade id say go grab some DBA4000 meant for ther GTR , which are 324 x 30mm ...(DBA5000 if you can afford them) All you will need is a bracket to offset the caliper to suit the larger rotor.

Id stick with the std R32 GTST calipers. R33 calipers look better but hardware wise i think you will find they do the exact same job:)

Cheers for the info mate, the big thing for me is that they HAVE to fit under my 16" P1's, other wise there is no point me upgrading.

The main reason I want to go for the 33GTS calipers is so I run the bigger disk without fouling the rim, and being that bit bigger, hopefully they will do a decent enough job

Currently I am running some type of slotted rotor and racebrake RB74 pads, they work well, but I think with a bit more grunt and a upcoming driver training/track day early december, something a bit more substantial is required

What do you reckon?

O would not see any issues fitting the R33 brakes behind your 16" rims........R33's came stock with 16's, depending on the offset of your P1's you may require small spacers, simple fix.

If you do go ahead with this i would be interested in purchasing your R32 discs and calipers.

I will be going ahead with this, as I have already found some calipers and paid a deposit, just need to know if its going to be a simple task :D

PM me if you want mine and we can sort something out,

Id use DBA 296mm rotors. The R32 GTST caliper is the same as the R33 GTST caliper isnt it. If it bolts to the hub and automatcally clears the larger rotot then fair enough, but im not sure if that will be the case. Intersting to see if the hub is different or the wings of the caliper are different

Larger master cylinder means the piston is bigger, sdo for say 10mm movement pisplaces more brake fluid so in theory should equate to a little more pressue in the lines?!?! I think, not 1000% sure

I know that the R32 caliper will not accept a 296mm rotor, tried that already :) from what I can see, the R33 caliper is mounted up a little more to make room for a bigger rotor

From what I can gather of the wrecker I am getting them of, its a simple case of unbolting the 32 calipers, put the 33 disc on and caliper and that should be it

I reckon you are pretty spot in re master cylinder stuff

They are bolting everything back on now, pipes and other shit, and tune is happening now I spose. I am leaving here in about 40 mins to go and hopefully see the final tuning etc and drive it home, Shaun reckons it should be all done by about 7ish, as they have to get the car out to make way for a few more booked in for tomorrow

Bummer about your car, at least they are not giving it to you until they are happy with it, should be great mate! :D

the rear disc size is 297mm as Roy says hehe

btw, R32 GT-R discs have angled cooling vanes in the middle, compared to the straight vanes of R32/R33 GTS-T discs. That, combined with its extra thickness and 296mm size, gives it better performance over extended track sessions (>10 laps). The R32 GT-R caliper is physically bigger than the R32 GTS-T's caliper, similar size to R33 GTS-T but slightly different design.

      Engine Issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.

      Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that).

      Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply

      Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point

      Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
