R32 Gts25 - Front Brake Upgrade Q

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

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

      I have a VALCON if anyone wants it, I have no idea why you'd want to have VVT specifically broken out of the ECU as opposed to running it off the FCON/whatever standalone you have.

      Hi Yes we're a bit optimistic we might get something out of sealing up the two pipes of the external wastegate and reactivating the stock one. I believe the orginal stock wastegate was tack welded shut. It doesn't budge and visually looks closed and sealed. The car has noticeably more lag so it could be at least part of the problem, maybe all. It's definately one of the key changes made since last tune. And it's one that's more difficult to fully understand and measure, not like for instance timing or cylinder compression.  Thanks for that feedback, we'll let you know how this progresses. Fingers crossed.   Regards Rob

      Well, I was going to say, "Is the wastegate set up so that it is not leaking?" That's actually a different thing to what you're asking about. In theory, if you have allowed the two halves of the manifold to commmunicate (more than the stock manifold does - which is at least a little bit) then the negative effect should be apparent in delayed spool, not in outrigth power. OK, maybe just maybe, a badly set up twin scroll wastegate "crosstalk" might kill the top end, although it's hard to see how. What is happening with the original wastegate in the turbo? is it sealed off properly. If it's left flapping in the breeze, it will f**k everything up. If it is still there, and can be returned to service, I'd be capping off the external (presuming the two halves can and will be isolated from each other after doing so) and have a go with just the stock wastegate. I have an internal wastegate in my highflowed rear housing. The bigger opening and flapper should be fine to >250 rwkW. So there's not exactly a pressing reason to have the external. Done right, an external will give better results. Done wrong, it might just be possible to have worse results. Report back!
