Hi,

Need a set of r32 gtr front callipers and noticed a thred mentioned r33 gtst were the same. Can anyone confirm this for sure? I know Z32 four pots are simular but use smaller pistons. Not sure if this is the case with R33 gtst items.

Thanks

I have a full set (front and rear) of Nissan (not Brembo) R32GTR callipers that have recently been fully serviced, let me know via PM if you are interested.

:) cheers :)

Thanks Duncan. Just what I needed to know.

The 32 GTR and 33 GTST calipers are the same size, same pistons and deisnged for the same disc.  There are some external differences (eg GTR has finned calipers)

(eg GTR has finned calipers)

Ive got 32 GTR calipers on my car. They dont have the fins on them. I searced around before i bought them, as i thought as you did that they came with fins.

I can gurantee the ones i got are oem 32 GTR calipers, and they are not finned.

The only difference between the r33 gtst and the r32 setup is that the r32 GTR setup uses 32 mm thick rotors, and the gtst uses 30mm rotors (when new of course) :)

Does anyone know the part numbers for R32 gtr front callipers? Are there any markings on them to confirm this?

Pretty sure one visual difference is that the R32 GTR calipers have the word "Nissan" cast onto a flat smooth caliper surface whilst the R33 ones still have "Nissan" cast onto them but it is cast on top of a raised ridge section.

Hard to explain without pics.

Can anybody confirm one way or the other that 32 GTR calipers are alloy and R33 are not?

You mean like this for a R32 GTR?

And a R33 like this?

Is that wright?

The bottom one is 300zx/32 gtst, not 33.

33 (and 34)gtst calipers are much chunkier looking without the round bits where the pistons sit

The pic below is of a 34 caliper on an r32gtst, the 33 looks pretty much the same but sit's a little further in due to a smaller rotor.

I will take your word on that. Didnt know there was a difference between 32gtst and 33 calipers but just knew his top pic was what I assumed GTR calipers to be as thats what they have looked like on every GTR 32 I have seen and aslo what my calipers look like which I was told where 32 GTR.

But still, can anybody confirm R32 GTR calipers are alloy and the others are not??

Thanks for that. Yeah I know the bottom pick I posted was actually a 300zx calliper, I was more interested identifing a R32 gtr calliper and was trying to find a calliper with the curved section fastgts-r was talking about.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
