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.

    • 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.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
