Hey guys,

I went into the RTA today and asked about engine conversions, and what’s required etc.

Basically I wanted to upgrade to a turbo-charged engine, However that would require too much effort. So I asked about the Rb25de upgrade, and the fellow said that it was fine as long as the car came out with the same suspension, and brake setup. He told me that I had to get real documents from the Nissan dealer, but being an import I wasn't sure if they would have them.

So basically what i'm after is the stock non turbo 1995 R33 GTS25 specifications. I have a non turbo 1995 R33 GTS which is a 2.0L but I wouldn't think the brakes would differ from model to model.

So if anyone has these details (yes I’ve searched) it would be helpful if I could get them. Also I was thinking about going to the Nissan dealership tomorrow, but does anyone have any idea if they carry this information on their computers?

All I require is the dimensions of the brakes, and basically suspension setup, years released, type of engine etc.

Thanks in advanced.

Dayne :lol:

the simplest way to do it it to swap the brakes from the rb25de donor car. or go to a wrecker and measure the diameter.

you can go the turbo route many have done it my self included (on an r32) swap engine brakes and rear diff and you have have an r33 turbo spec. car ore pricey though.the performance difference from the rb 20 e to the rb25 de is pretty good. my cefiro with an rb25de made 105 rwkw the rb20e would have been lucky to make 70 rwkw.

good luck

btw there is some infomation on these pages on my site

as far as i know the brakes onm the turbo are 5 pot with the brake pads being the same aswell as the rotors being slightly larger. As for the suspension it should be the same, but i think maybe go to one of skylinekids group buys is the way to go, i also think you hay have to change gear box and clutch...

The brakes may be different as i have a R33 gts25 and when i needed new pads the pads for the R33gts didnt fit dont know if thats the information ur after plus a pod adapters for a 33gts dont fit ether i had a custom one made.

my pod filter adapter was the same as an r33 gts25t

the r33gts25 have:

twin piston sliding calipers for the fronts

single piston sliding calipers for the rears

the r33 gts25t have:

four pot sumitomo calipers for the fronts

twin pot sumitomo calipers for the rear

the turbo calipers are bigger and chunkier (from 6 pots total na, to 12 pots total turbo) rotors are bigger and chunkier.

i wasnt asking about turbo, i was asking simply the specifications in (mm's) of the size of the rotars on the Na.

The pod filters dont fit? wtf thats odd.. mine was off a r33 gts25t and it fit straight up. Brake pads..? the brake padds are only listed for rb25de, rb25det and rb26dett in the 1995 skyline range, so i dont see how you could of got gts padds.. maybe the guy just had no idea?

Thanks for all the info though everyone, specially Eug. That was heaps helpful. Just one question though how can i tel the sliding calipers and how many pot they are?

Cheers

give me a minute mate and i'll take a photo of my old calipers

These are R33 GTS25 calipers, they came off my 1994 GTS.

and these are 4 pot sumitomo calipers - these are R32 GTSt , but the R33 GTSt ones look very very similar (minus the ribbed bits on the top)

DSC00659.JPG

very noticeable difference between the two types. (i know you didnt want turbo specs - but just to compare and show the difference)

anyway the R33 gts25 rotor specs for the according to dba are as follows:

FRONTS:

Vented, 280mm diameter, thickness including hat = 49mm, thickness of the rotor disc = 26mm,

I cannot find any specs on the rears, and i dont have my rear rotors and calipers anymore because NA_R33 (John) has them now.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
