Gtst Rotors & Calipers On Gts4 R33

[Cro_boy_Mario]

hey

i have a r33 gts4

i was wondering, if i was to get the rotors redrilled to 4 stud would i be able to put the calipers and rotors onto my gts4?

anyone have answers?

thanks

I don't see why not, as long as they clear your wheels?

i believe all gts4s have abs? if so then you will need gtr brakes.

if not then it should be alright.

rotors and calipers are a very good upgrade if you like the occassional track work or like a well handled car without having the issues and ongoing costs of a turbo car.

i have an r33 gts with r32gtst calipers and rotors front and rear... so far the only issue has been my spokes from my rims not clearing the bigger brakes.

i've got a street set of 17x7 rims which run spacers, and a track 17x8 rims which do not require spacers...

its all about the spoke design - so its best to do the conversion BEFORE you buy rims.

i have aftermarket volk racing rims 17x8, and yeh gts4 have abs, but insted of doing a hub conversion i would rather just put the rotors and calipers.......btw do any gtst have abs?

well i'd like to say that even with volks you'll be ok - but i've found it seems to be on an individual basis - you'll have to look into the thickness and height of the rotor hat, etc, spoke design. i suppose you'll find out when you do it. so keep that in mind - as there's no real way to measure the "X-factor" of the spokes. offset has some part influence but not entirely.

well you are going down the same lines as me as i have custom DBA 4 stud r32 gtst front slotted rotors and redrilled r32 gtst rear rotors - also because i had a set of rims i didnt want to get rid of.

to answer your question: yes some gtst's have abs.

i am not sure what the implications are of using RWD GTST calipers and rotors with an R33 GTS4 setup.

to be safe I'd be more inclined to go with a GTR setup or an R32 GTS4 setup - just so it doesnt mess with your attessa system.

what i'm currently looking into now and one of the reasons for going with an R32 GTST brake setup is that the 180SX/S13 stud pattern is the same i.e. 4x114.3, and the thing is that they also have the same diameter rotor discs. sooooo.... my point is that it MAY be possible to run R32 GTST calipers with 180SX rotors, thus not having to get custom rotors/redrilling rotors all the time and also giving the option of slotted/cross drilled rotors which are not so readily available for the non-turbo skylines.

of course then there's measurements of the rotor hat and that may put measurements out again.

hope this helps and puts things into perspective
