Hey all and thanks heaps to anyone who replies with helpful and knowledgeable stuff....

I am looking to upgrade/replace my rotors (mainly) as I have been told mine may not pass a RWC inspection.

Basicly I would like to know if the rotors (and brakes) off an R32 GTR will bolt straight onto my R32 GTS4?

And if not, could you please suggest another model option that has been proven to work with a simple switch-a-roo...

Cheers :-)

EDIT: I should also mention I have R33 gtst rims on the car, if that could affect the new rotor or brake size with clearance and whatever :)

Buy a set of R32 GTR calipers and get soem DBA4000 rotors. The GTR rotors you buy with the calipers will want to be in good condition to warrant putting on your car as they will be just as old, possible travelled as many kms, with possibly more spirted driving, and are cross drilled so have been known to crack.

But with the R32 GTR sized rotor and caliper it will be a bolt on upgrade for the front. Dont bother with the rears though, well thats my opinion anyway.

A better buy if you can find them at a reasonable price would be a set of R34GTT brakes. larger 310mm rotor vs 296mm, newer caliper and rotor etc, and 99% sure they are still bolt on. (That last 1% is because i have not done it personally so would still recommend checking im not talking out my a55 before spending you dough:))

Don't worry too much about the calipers. The GT-R rotors tend to crack around the cross-drilled holes, and they really don't contribute that much extra to braking efficiency.

Just get some DBA slotted rotors. (@ www.dba.com.au)

My view on R32GTR brakes is that they don't pull up consistently at the end of a straight after 3 laps on a 35 degree day... :cheers:

That's because you go round the corners too slow. :matrix:

I agree with Roy if you have the money to spend. Seriously though save your money on the cost of a new set of set of calipers. The skyline ones really arent that bad because you'll be forking out big bucks for a different set of calipers. Just go with the DBA's roy suggested above.

Why exactly are you replacing your discs?

Thanks for all the replies guys, keep 'em comming! :-)

I need to do this to get a RWC I am told, my mate thinks (90% positive) my rotors are undersize and need replacing, so I am trying to find a decent replacement which it also low cost....

When you mate says ur rotors are undersize, he means they are too tin, not too small in diameter. So why not just get standard sized DBA4000 rotors? They would be a great upgrade and be a lot cheaper than buying slightly better calipers and new rotors. Maybe even get slotted ones?

Thanks xRHETTx, I will look into those DBA4000 rotors, I just hope they will be cheap as I am a poor uni student....

Yeah I thought "undersize" meant too small diameter, but he soon clued me into the proper meaning....:-P

I was also actually looking into rotors off another skyline, say an R33 as there would be plenty of these around that are not running ie wrecking...but I am not sure what models will be a straight swap onto an R32 GTS4.....

The R32 GTR front rotors for the dba 4000 series are 4926.

However, that's for the gtr made between 6/89 - 8/93.

Between 8/93 and 12/94, they are 4928 becasue they had 324mm diameter rotors.

As for rotors for the gts4, i'd recommend getting dba 4000 series to suit the r32.

The part numbers are: 4909 for the fronts, 4908 for the rears. They are both slotted as the part numbers should also have either SL or SR on each (slotted left, slotted right).

That's what i'll be getting anyway for the gts4. :rant:

As for the price, I was quoted over $900 for the whole set though!!! So, i guess it would be even more expensive for say the gtr brakes as they are bigger! But keep in mind that's the retail price :Pimp2:

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
