hey wassup guys

i have a set of front and rear r32 GTR rotors sitting on my floor at home (296mm diameter i beleive)

looking at doing a 5 stud conversion on my 180 soon

was trying to find out wat calipers will fit these rotors???

will 33 GTST calipers fit over these rotors??

was hoping i could use 33 GTST front and rear calipers

33 rear hubs

custom or s14 front hubs

and 33 handbrake cable

with the 32 GTR rotors for the 5 stud conversion on the 180

does anyone have any info on wat calipers will fit over the 32 GTR rotors? this is my main concern for the conversion as i have heard that only GTR calipers will fit over these rotors

all help appreciated

peace

ROB

R32 gtr calipers and r33 gtst calipers are exactly the same, and therefore use the same rotor....

So yes, you can use r33 calipers.

Use the calipers that go with the rotors, and they will fit.

thats not all correct, r32gtr discs are 32mm thick, where 33gtst rotors are 30mm thick. (refer to dba website)

so im not sure if you can use 33gtst calipers, due to the extra rotor thickness.

i know 100% that you can use the standard calipers off a 300zxTT with the 32gtr rotors.

so assuming i use the 300ZX TT front and rear calipers with the 32 GTR rotors

will the 300zx TT rear hubs bolt straight in to a 180? will i need specific 5 stud rear hubs to match the rotors? i know 33 GTST hubs bolt straight into 180 rear

can i use:

- r32 gtr rotors front and rear

- 300zx TT calipers front and rear

- custom 5 stub front hubs

- 33 GTST rear hubs

as a combo to do the 5 stud conversion?

or am i better off selling the 32 GTR rotors and just buying a complete GTST package or something?

i have not idea if they will bolt up to a 180sx, sorry!

but your plan sounds right i think it would all fit together.

personally i would probably just buy rotors hubs and calipers together if i could, and then u only have the problem of fitting them to your 180

i know r32gtr rotors (the 324m ones) bolt straight up to a 300zxtt hub, so if you got the 300zxtt hubs assuming they bolt up to your 180 you could use the 300zxtt calipers and the discs you have now.

Yes the thickness of the rotors is 2mm different, however like i said they use the same calipers. Which would mean that the calipers could easily use either the 30 or 32mm rotor. The extra 2mm wouldnt mean much, its the rolling diametre (296mm) which would make the difference....

ah ok i was not sure if the caliper could accept the extra 2mm. with z32s (and i assume skylines now or in the near future) you can get adaptor brackets so you can use the standard rotors with the bigger 32gtr rotors i think 324mm, UAS in sydney has them.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
