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:

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
