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..

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=61703

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:

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
