2005 Sti Gold Brembo Calipers On An R32 Gtr

[32R]

You might be able to use the rear rotors of a R34 vspec 11 or 2001 on R34 GTR?, as they both run the larger rear rotor 324mm by memory,maybe machined down to suit

These bolt straight on to R32 and fit the existing handbrake,I have them on mine

When i was looking for rotors I'm pretty sure DBA dont sell the larger rears and Projectmu were the only option

Also while you can use tin snips to trim the guard I used a 100mm grinder with a thin cutiing disc.I wouldnt let a 9 inch anywhere near my ally hubs,those things should need a licence to use

Ronin what needs to be done to get the 350z rotors to fit?

You are making sense Ronin_09,

I guess they only way to really tell is to trial fit with a 316 x 20 rotor (if they exsist, I can't be stuff checking just now) to see if it fits...

Anyway, for those that are interested, below is the pics of the inside of the rotors.

BTW, front rotors have piston diameters of 40mm and 34mm and the rear rotors have a piston diameter of 30mm.

By way on comparison:

Bremo as fitted to R33's etc: 44 & 38mm dia pistons front, 40mm rear.

Sumitomo as fitted to R32's 40.4mm (all the same) front, 38mm rear.

So there is not much point using these WRX Brembos as they are too small in piston dia.

ronin's rear brakes are the 33/34 brembo calipers with Biot 3 piece rear rotors. fking awesome sexy piece of gear, but not for the light of wallet! I should know I sold it to him.

ronin truly is the asse of biot:

So i guess that's pretty much /thread, but is upgrading the rears a wank anyways? Risking told me that even with the standard rears and something like 360mm + chunky calliper at the front, he still has too much rear brake bias on his race car (or is that a special case)...

I have heard that too,yet no one seems to complain about the bias on the std 32 brakes and the rears are bigger than the front.

Bit of a strange question but how do you pronounce Biot?

Is it buy-ott or Bee-ohh

thanks

[Beer Baron]

I believe it's bee-ott.

If I can get all train spotterish - my best guess is the company is named for this bloke:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Baptiste_Biot

Who figured this out:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biot_Number

[Beer Baron]

yep, it's named after the biot number, but we knew that some time ago.

still nice detective work

I am going to revive this thread as I have recently purchased a set of 05 STI callipers (front and rear) + rotors and will adapt it to my R32 GTR.

I will try to detail everything from additional parts to issues (and solutions) with installation and labouring costs which hopefully will help other people going down the same path.

I think this can be a successful alternative to purchasing other brembo brakes such as the R34 and R33 GTR brembos.

I am running 17inch BBS LM wheels with standard sumitomos but not for long.

Watch this space.

I also have a 94 R32 GTR and was wondering about fitting STI brembo calipers to the rear of my car. I have new rear Nissan Brembo rotors (300mm) and thought I could use those with the STI caliper, but reading this blog maybe not?

I hadnt thought of using STI calipers on the front. They certainly seem to be cheaper to buy than the equivalent Nissan Brembos.

I have new 328mm rotors for the front as used on the V Spec, so was looking for a dogbone that would allow the use of the standard GTR caliper with the upsized 328mm disc - does anyone know if these dogbones are available any where?

However if the STI calipers will go on the front with say a 355mm rotor that would be good. Please let us know how you go
