It's 324mm vs 296mm. Not sure about rear.

REPCO is your friend they will have all the listings etc.

[Marlin]

Rear is same rotor.

[noone]

Marlin you mean same as stock r32 yeah

not same as brembo fronts?

[Marlin]

Yeah same as normal rears mate.

Yeah same as normal rears mate.

You sure?

DBA list the povvo pack R32 GT-R rears as 297 dia x 18 thick. The R33 & R32 Vspec are 300 dia & 22 thick.

The other thing you need to do when bolting up a Brembo rear to a non Vspec R32 is bash the stone guard to get it out the way. The bit near the hub fouls so bash it gently - with a hammer.

Or just grind the stone guard off completely.

A few things about the rears that I discovered doing the conversion:

The inner pads wear like a bastard if you don't remove the stone guard.

The upper outer link on the rear suspension is pretty close to the guard so be a bit carefull that you don't get too much heat onto the bushes. I taped mine over with some metallic tape so help reflect the heat.

The guard (from memory) hooks in under the hand brake shoes so you can't remove all of it.

Oh and the hoses from the R33 are too short for the 32's.

But you can use the lines from the R32, you also need to make sure you have the bolts off the R33 as they are a different pitch to the R32 caliper. Get rid of the shield all together, its not that hard, you just need to drill out the spot welds or just tin snip and rip back and forth until the spot weld rips. Then just file off any sharp edges.

You can even use the std brackets etc with a small 10min tweak per bracket. (i run aftermaket braided lines on my R32 before upgrading to the GTR rears, so should point out that my aftermarket R32 braided lines worked perfectly with the GTR Brembo rears)

I am trying to remember why my 32 lines did not fit (or seem to fit). They were a bit different. It was easier for me in the end to get some new lines seeing as I upgraded everything else.

The Brembo bots are 1.5mm pitch, the Sumitomos are 1.25mm like most of the other Nissan stuff.

Shit! I may have been wrong it seems re the rear rotors, my sincere apologies mate, my old memory is failing as I just couldn't remember changing the rear rotors when I put brembos all round on my 32 GTS.

Sorry again. Oopsy!

[cobrAA]

Revival!!!

So final answer, can I use my SS line of my BNR32 on brembo r33 brakes? I was told front would fit, but not rear..
