Gtr Brakes On Gts-t Mounts On A Supra....

Hi all,

I have a few questions I was hoping one of you nissan boys could answer for me.

I have a jza70 supra that I am looking to upgrade the brakes on. A popular brake upgrade is using spacers and custom brackets (which are relatively easy to find and purchase) to fit the jza80 rotors (324mm x 30mm) and Z32 or R32 GTS-T 4-spot calipers.

This doesnt appear to be a bad upgrade but I would like to go one better. You see, as you can imagine the Z32 calipers and pads dont cover the whole face of the large jza80 rotors. Therefore, obviously much more powerful braking can be had by using larger calipers.

I beleive that R32 and R33 GTR's both V-spec and non V-spec (although the v-spec models have the brembo brakes) use 4-piston calipers with 324mm rotors. I was wondering if I bought a kit to fit these jza80 rotors and z32 calipers (the kits dont come with the rotors or calipers), would I be able to buy GTR calipers instead and use them? Would they be a bolt on fit to the brackets (are they a bolt on fit to an R32 GTS-T as I will have the same mounting holes once the brackets are fitted)? Would they work with the supra rotors like the z32 calipers do but simply use the whole face of the rotor?

Does anybody know the rough cost of these GTR calipers, both the brembo ones and non brembo (sumitomo i believe). I realise they are fairly pricey but i dont know just how pricey they are.

Thanks heaps guys, i've been searching high and low for these answers but I dont seem to be able to get concrete answers and I dont want to buy the GTR calipers only to have them not fit....

R32GTR non vspec rotors are 296mmx32mm and calipers are similar to R33 gtst which uses 296mmx30mm rotors.

These wouldn't be a serious upgrade.

I looked into using the 324mm rotor on my r32gtst

A bloke from Race Brakes told me the r32 gtst calipers require some material to be removed from where the edges touch the 324mm rotor for them to get the whole pad onto the rotor.

He also said that calipers made for larger rotors than the 280mm gtst ones don't leave enough room for the 324mm. caliper mount adapter spacer.

I don't know if this is true for the supra spacer though.

Check out the brembos as they will go over the 324mm rotor

The r34gtt 310mm rotor and caliper combo might be worth a look.

booster,

I didnt realise the non v-spec 32 gtr's brakes weren't 324. Id like to fit calipers that will have a pad face to suit the 324mm rotor so I guess these are out of the picture. Anybody have any thoughts on what the r34 gt-t calipers would be like and if they would fit? (Although i would prefer to use the bigger calipers from the GTRs)

in the kit i've seen (it's in the latest zoom mag) the z32/r32 gts-t calipers do use the full face of the pad on the 324mm jza80 rotor without modification to the caliper.

I'm not sure about the bigger calipers not fitting over the spacer tho. You may be onto something there. Can anybody shed some light on this?

Still like to know a rough price for these calipers also.

Ronin,

hopefully Roy or another braking guru spots this thread and imparts their wisdom. :)

Rorza:

this is a Japanese upgrade for R32GTR to use JZA80 discs

looks like they'll fit ok, but might have a slight bit of pad knock off at the corners as the radius of the rotor becomes larger than the pad was designed for.

Thanks Ronin.

Anybody know if the calipers are going to fit on these mounts?

I've just thought of something also. The R33 GTS-T calipers have longer legs than the R32 and Z32 calipers (apart from that I beleive they are the same) and dont fit the brackets in the kit. Therefore I assume the 33 GTR calipers would also have these longer legs and wont the brackets either. With 32 GTR's not having 324mm rotors that only leaves 32 GTR V-specs that are 324 and fit on the brackets (hopefully). I cant imagine these are going to be real easy to find......

Anybody have any thoughts on what I should do here??

I'd really like 324mm rotors with large 4-piston calipers. My jza70 is a heavy car and will have over 300KW@wheels when I fit the twin hks t3g kit i have. I want to do some track work with it and really want it to pull up hard.

Thanks.

Thanks Roy, a lot of good info there.

The way I understand it, these brackets (the ones in the kit for the jza70) would have an offset of 44mm (like your adaptor on your skyline) so that the r32 GTST caliper will fit on the jza80 324mm rotor. So if I wanted to use R33 GTR calipers what I really want is brackets which are the same but dont have an offset as the calipers were already designed for 324mm rotors. Is this correct?

I have been told by a few people that unfortunately the jza80 324mm rotors and calipers aren't a bolt on fit to the jza70. Jza70s and ma70's and i would say the soarers as well came with single piston calipers and smaller rotors neither of which are interchangeable with the jza80 braking components. The rotors require collars etc. to fit them to the jza70. As for the calipers I am not 100% sure that they dont bolt on but I really doubt that they would. The parts required to fit the jza80 rotors are in the latest zoom mag where martin donnan fits the kit i mentioned (with the jza80 rotors and Z32 calipers).

Perhaps what I really need is someone to make both the parts to fit the jza80 rotors (I can probably get hold of designs for the parts involved) and while they're at it to knock up some brackets to fit the jza80 calipers as well. Who would be caplable of such a task? (it'd be nice if they were in Adelaide but I will buy from interstate).

Thanks again.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
