Changing Calipers

[grim32]

Hi guys when i got my R32 it was originally a RB25de auto, so we put the RB20det and 5 speed in. We looked at the disks and they are the same size as the gtst but 4 stud and the calipers are a lot smaller. Will the gtst calipers bolt up to my car without having to change much, i dont want to do the 5 stud conversion because i already bought 18" wheels for it, thanks.

You will more than likely have to use R32 GTST or R33 GTST discs and calipers for the job. You will just need to redrill the discs to 4 stud!

Really? even though my discs are the same size. Anything else need to be changed, i was hoping i could just do calipers, lines and master cylinder.

IF they are exactly same diameter / thickness

i can't see why they won't work

i know that non turbo R33 rotors are exactly the same as R32 gts-t rotors, but use a floating caliper

a lot of people do this upgrade for silvias cos theyre 4 stud, so no redrilling is needed, and then they just whack the R32 gts-t calipers on

mine and gordon's thread respectively...

the calipers on my car (R33 GTS25) bolted into the original spots with no issues... and if the rotors are in fact the same diameter I dont see why not.

although you "might" have some brake line issues as they are mounted differently with the sumitomos than with the sliding pistons.

i had braided lines made up with custom fittings so that they mounted in standard positions but the fitting from the line to the caliper were changed to something more suitable.

hope that helps

cheers
