Something a few of you might want to consider doing... whether its just for track use, or have future plans for more power.

Definately a possible DIY job - and definately NOT if you havent got a clue.

I did the conversion myself with alot of blood, sweat and tears, heaps of swearing.

Took me a few weeks, but all up a day or two work total:

- R32 Front and Rear Calipers.

- R32 DBA Slotted Rotors Front - four stud by DBA (no redrilling)

- R32 Stock Rotors Rear redrilled to 4 stud.

- ADR approved custom front braided brake lines.

- Bendix Ultimate pads.

- Motul RBF600 Brake fluid.

Its pretty straight forward, but if you need pictures/instructions to carry out this upgrade then i don't think you should be attempting it anyway.

Here's the final result.

hey eug..

this pretty much is the same process.. which has everything laid out :huh:

Yours looks good though, with proper braided lines and doing it all with quality components. Well done!

i've been looking for a brake upgrade for a while now. Are the r32 brakes better than what's the r33s. and why not just get a 4-5 stud converter (saw a few for sale here and there ASM had one advertised i think) and then get 5 stud brakes. I'm not meaning to be a nay sayer just genuinely wondering as i have no idea. How much did it all cost you? did you use r32gtst or gtr calipers?

ahh sorry Gordo, I didnt realise that the non-type m 32s had NA brakes...

figured it was a 180/S13 and NA skylines type thing.

MR R33: I plan to have a bit of fun on the track with it, and yes its all to prevent fade and heat.

Kor'axis: 33 brakes are bigger than 32s. The reason I didnt go with the studs was that I already had rims.

nice wheels by the way, what size rim is that???

those blakes looks smaller hahahhaha :unsure:

thnx dude, took me a while (read: ~3 months) to find a set that i really liked and would fit the 4 stud pattern. They are a 17x7 rim.

wot blakes look smaller? brakes? :rolleyes:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
