Looking at selling a full set of Nissan (R32) Skyline GT-R calipers. These are manufactured by Sumitomo and are an alloy caliper, not cast iron - therefore considerably light. These would make a great upgrade to an S13 or S14. This set will not come with rotors, but GT-R rotors are available from various locations from time to time. Otherwise, a new set of rotors would be ideal due to the R32 GT-R rotors now starting to crack in some cases from hard track work. Aftermarket rotors can be bought from DBA in solid, slotted or slotted and drilled formats.

These calipers have not yet been removed from the car, and will come with the pads (although these are almost ready for replacement). If someone is looking to just get the front calipers, please find someone first who's likely to want the rears (there are a few ppl on these forums that already have front brake upgrades). You should also be aware that to fit these you'll require a set of R33 GTSt handbrake cables for the rear calipers to fit up correctly.

Fitting of these calipers should really be done by a workshop (I know C-Red in Perth has performed this upgrade on both S13, S14 and S15's in the past) and have a braided line upgrade done at the same time to improve pedal feel.

I will post up photos later tonight. Expect these to be available within 2 weeks, or earlier if required.

Price: $650.00 for front and rears

(buyer to pay shipping outside of Perth Metro)

PM me if you would like to take the transaction further, otherwise post questions should you have any.

Couldn't get any decent shots of the calipers that I'm selling off the GT-R, too many cars close to the car, so I've taken shots of some calipers I have waiting to go onto my Silvia instead. These and the ones on the car are identical (except for amount of brake dust on them).

Would suggest to anyone buying calipers that it's best to clean and paint before refitting for the best effect.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
