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.

    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?  
    • And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards
