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

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
