R32 Gts25 - Front Brake Upgrade Q

[sonoramicommando]

hello all,

I've searched a few times, but most topics cover upgrading turbo skyline brakes or upgrading brakes going from 4 studs to 5 studs.

I have cheap 17" mags up front and 16" at the back, all 4 studs and i don't have overwhelming desire to go 5 studs.

The need for brake upgrade? well, I turbo'd the RB25DE, having said that I don't think the factory brake ain't too bad for streets.

I'm not planning to do much track sessions, if any, so fade shouldn't be an issue to me. I just want to be able to stop on a dime if the needs be, street situations, like numbnuts pulling out in front of you with no warning, stuff like that.

So basically what I'm thinking is just to upgrade to multi piston calipers for more clamping for a starter. if suitable bigger rotors come with them then I don't mind them either.

I'm looking to go 2nd hand ex-factory calipers/rotors fit with no/little modifications.

Can any one advise - obviously it's better if you have done upgrade yourself rather than hearsay.

Thanks in advance,

Sam

Mate I did a R32GTS-t brake conversion onto a 180sx (4 stud) so there is no reason

you can't put the 32 GTS-t brakes onto your car just re-drill to 4 stud the calibers

should bolt straight on.It should be very easy to do,I don't know what brake lines

you have bango with a bolt or a pipe but on the 180 conversion it had a bango

fitting n bolt which the bolt had to be cut down by 3mm and all fits.I have only

changed the front so I don't know about the rear,good luck with it

hey thanks man.

i need to have a look at the lines, see what i have.

is it definitely worth the expense and effort?

i reckon i won't bother with the rear brakes anyway.

cheers,

If you searh around on the forum you should pick up a set of 32 GTS type M 4 spots pretty cheap

if your concerned about the brake lines buy them as well,drill the rotors to 4 stud and presto

cheap and easy conversion.Just remember if you do have bango fitting and bolt for the brake

line remember that the surface is clean and flat where it bolts onto the caliper.

Cheers
