Hey all just a quick question. I am building up a VN SS show/circuit car and have decieded on using the 4 piston calipers as found on the Skyline range. My question, is there any difference in the calipers between the models or was the same caliper used? Did the new ones accept a larger disc, etc. Also is there a difference with say the gts-t and gt-r, etc

I will be using HSV 343x32 rotors with these.

Thankx Dave

32gtr is the same as 33gtst. 298 by 32mm

33/34gtr uses brembo calipers on a 328 by 32mm disc.

32 gtst uses pidly 280mm by 28mm disc.

z32 uses 2800 by 32mm discs.

the brembos use a diferant pad.

the non brembos use a db1170 pad. (common as)

id use the brembos. or try and find some porche brembos. (big reds) as the pads are sutabe for a large discs.

but ferrari f40 calipers are perfect for 343mm disc. (slighty shallower pad from the big reds.)

my advise is ebay to buy them. just do s asearch for "brembo brake caliper"

Cheers Mate. Dont want to go too expensive on the brakes I think the 4 spots will surfice. So with the R32gtr and R33gtst they use the same rotor, but is the caliper the same?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

I was thinking something like this?

Also will the calipers I listed above fit on a 343mm rotor? I know I can fit them on a 330mm with out any problems.........

Hell anything is an improvment over stock! 289x23mm with a single piston caliper!

Cheers Dave

Here are the correct sizes:

R32 GTST

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 280×30

R32 GTR (Non V-Spec,)

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×32

R33 GTST

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×30 Different caliper to R32 GTR but same disc diameter.

R32 GTR V-Spec / R33 / 34 GTR with Brembos

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 324×30

R34 GTT

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 310x30

The calipers that suit larger diameter discs have longer mounting legs to space the caliper out further.

When using R32 GTR calipers on 330mm discs I filed out the inside radius a mm or 2, i presume R33 is the same. R34 GTT mightn't need and mods.

Hmmmmmm..............Any one know how to differenciate the calipers from each other?

I have found this thread useful with thinking about a brake upgrade. It would be great as a sticky and would answer a few questions. Just knowing the stats of rotor diameter/thickness and the calipers.

Who makes these sticky's?? It would be great to compile this info into one thread.

I have the specs of a lot of Nissans in a spreadsheet, basically

R32 GTST

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 25.4

Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40.4 ×4

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 280×30

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 38.18×2

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 297×18

R33 GTST

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 23.8

Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40.4 ×4

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×30

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 38.18×2

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 297×18

Now the interesting bit...

R32 GTR (Non V-Spec,)

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 25.4

Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40.4 ×4

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×32

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 38.18×2

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 297×18

R32 GTR V-Spec / R33 / 34 GTR with Brembos

Master Cylinder diam (mm) - 26.9

Front Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - (44+38)×2 ... leading pistons smaller then trailing

Front rotors (diam x thk) - 324×30

Rear Caliper Piston(diam x qty) - 40×2

Rear Rotors (diam x thk) - 300×22

      Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪

      Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues.

      What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly

      I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
