howdy, i was lookin at a DBA catalogue and noticed that R33 and R34 brake rotors are the same width as the R32 rotors, but are larger.

i was wondering if anyone has put R33 or R34 rotors on an R32 with the R32 calipers.

also what is a good brand for rotors? is it worth payin extra for slotted rotors? how do these after market ones compare to factory nissan ones?

Hello mate, i asked the same thing last week and a guy replyed to me with this,

(I have had the 324 dba conversion on mine only for a few months.

I bought the adapters and rotors, DBA 4000 from Unique Autosports for a good price as he gives SAU members a discount. I still had to machine 2mm off the diameter of the rotors as when they were first installed they were rubbing the caliper slightly. If you do, do the conversion make sure u bend completely out of the way the stock brake dust brackets as they will rub on the calipers also after a while

They are preety easy to install and me and a mate installed them at his workshop in a few hours after we figured out how the bracket went on as there wasent any instructions.

They make a huge difference on the track compared to the old rotors-280mm. I put in some Ferodo DS2500 front pads in there also to replace the RB74's i previously had which also helped.)

So Hopfully this will help you out a bit mate and i am going to do this mod very soon.

LOL...i know who posted that:)

On the R33 GTST they start off with 296mm, not 280mm, but still a big change to the 324mm.

You cant go bigger rotor unless you buy the matching caliper as they are all offset differently.

Dependign what you want to do with the car then th eDBA replacements rotors (slotted) with soem nice pads and good fluid will work wondersl.

From there its a matter of how much money you want to, or dont want to spend.

Well i think you will find your factory rims are 16 inch not 15's and if you are going to change them you would be changing to R33 or R34 GTR size rotors not R33 Gts-t because they are only 296mm. And no you will need 17's for the 324mm rotors and there is no point changing to R33 gts-t calipers as they are very much the same size as R32 gts-t calipers

No - they are factory 15in - I know this 100% as I just had new tyres fitted

No - they are not the same calipers, I have 2 pot calipers, not 4 spot so the upgrade is worth it.

Jeez - hasn't anyone heard of a non type - m spec R32?

So my question is the same - Will R33 GTSt rotors etc fit with 15in wheels..?

unfortunately I don't think the pictures work...

If you were desperate to know, just take one caliper off, remove the pads and if it is a type m 4 pot, then there will 2 pistons on each side..

yes sorry josh i was wrong with what i was saying, i did not no that there was a R32 Gts-t modle that came out with only 2 pot front brakes and 15's and i was just suggesting that if you where going to up grade that you would be better off going to the 324mm rotors

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
