I'm doing R33 this weekend.

You'll want the 5 stud hubs, the rotors, the calipers and the brackets for the calipers to mount onto.

They'll all fit into your C33 knuckles, then you dont have to worry about re-drilling anything for coilovers.

As far as I know A31 and C33 turbo models use S13 SR20DET brakes, so the banjo bolt on the calipers is smaller than the R33 calipers, so you'll probably need to take the brake lines as well, I'm pretty sure the R33 brake lines are longer, so it shouldn't have any problems reaching.

Im chucking those 33s on today, they're definitely a better package.

The rotors are bigger, thicker and ventilated at the rear's as well.

The calipers are big, two piece and don't need a bracket like the S13 / A31, they just bolt straight onto the knuckle.

Front calipers are 4 piston, the rears are 2 piston, so they'll definitely go better. If you want MORE stopping power, get some of those 12 piston brakes of the of top of the line McLaren's :D

I think these things will have no drama's slowing even an RB25/26 Ceffy, considering how much lighter they are to the R3x Skylines.

As long as you aren't planing to use the hubs from the C35 on the front of your A31.

Why not?

EDIT: I used the complete front spindles from a C35 with my S14 calipers and rotors. They fitted with a little bashing of the dust shields and slightly shortened bolts that bolt the caliper to the knuckle.

Not sure if the C35 hub can be pressed on to the stock S13/A31 knuckle.

The front hubs from a skyline won't fit.

If you want 5 stud, you'll need to use S14/15 front hubs.

Alternatively, you can just have the rotors redrilled to 4 stud. I chose this path when I put R33 brakes on.

just jap have 5 stud conversion hubs for s13/c33/a31 knuckles which make life a little easier btw :dry:

Well i'm still no good at "car related" terms in English, but after googleing the names of the items u referred i think i'd try to explain what's comming ^_^ Conversion is going to be done by a "service", so as the ordering parts was done by them. I think it will be new knuckle, spindles, hubs and breaks of course =) So its more like a "complete set" of c35. Will see, should be here around next week i belive, will post up info once its here and done if you'r interested.

Sorry, for some reason I was thinking C35 would have double wishbone suspension, but now I remember my mate telling me he put S14 coilovers in his C35...

The hubs can't be swapped onto the spindles unfortunately as they are different diameter.

      So i brought a boat...

      By 84eighty · Posted

      How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!

      Is the Clock Spring and Steering angle sensor the same thing?

      By silviaz · Posted

      So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for

      I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
