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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
