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.

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
