R32 Gts Brake Set Up

Hi,

I have a 180sx with Mu Rotars and pads in 4 stud. The size of these rotars really limit the type of calipers I can use. The only calipers I found that would suit my rotars are from Endless and would set me back $2,300. I have also recieved alot of feedback from NS.com members that for street driving, the Endless brake kit would be an over kill. Someone suggested I try R32 GTS brakes since they are also in 4 stud and same PCB. I wanted to find out more about the R32 GTS brake set up because I heard that they are also in 4 stud. I am not really keen to do a 5 stud conversion becasue I got a set of 4 stud rims I really like.

What I wanted to find out is:

1) Dimension of R32 GTS rotars? The current rotars I use are 280x22mm

2) Does the R32 GTS use 4 piston calipers?

3) About how much should I be paying for them?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Cheers,

Jon

While I'm not completely sure on the dimensions of the rotors, I'm fairly sure that R32 GTS rotors are 280x22mm.

However, I am very sure that they don't use 4 piston calipers.

Turbo models yes, non turbo models no.

Why not find out about getting the turbo 280x32mm rotors and 4 piston calipers and seeing if they fit... especially see if your rims clear the calipers.....

r32 gtst 4 pots up front

280mm rotors

redrill them to 4 stud

Thanks for the update. Looks like I have few options as to what calipers I can upgrade to. I do not want to re-drill just becasue it is suppose to be illegal. The car is driven by my wife and myself as a fun car and we do not really want trouble with the police.... that would not be fun anymore.

I may just stick with the current SR calipers for the time being. It looks small, and not very good, but $2,300 is probably too much to spend at the moment.

Hey mate I have just finised doing a GTR convesion on my cefiro, you can get R33 gtst front and rear, or 32 GTR or R32 gtst m (dont think type m had drum handbrake). Also need cable and the drum set up for the handbrake, all you need to do is match the caliper to the rotor. so unfortunalty your mu rotors wont fit anything else. And maybe Brake master cylinder. After doing the conversion I recon its one of the most rewarding, safe and enjoying mods you can do. You may be able to get away with a budget of about $800 for 32 type m and $$$$ go up from there.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By sonicii · Posted

      No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.

      There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.
