R32 Gt-r Brakes - Early Vs Late Models

Hey guys,

I am friggin confused. Thinking about brakes etc... According to the DBA website:

32R early model = 1989 - Aug 1993

Diameter 296mm x thickness 32mm - Front

Diameter 292mm x thickness 18mm - Rear

32R late model = Aug 1993 - 1994

Diameter 324mm x thickness 30mm - Front

Diameter 300mm x thickness 22mm - Rear

Now the figures on the late model 32R looks exactly the same as the Brembo fitted 32R v-spec.

My question is:

Did the late model 32R come with different non-brembo calipers compared with the early model?

Or

Did they just increase the friggin size of the rotors but kept the same calipers?

Cheers,

Xiao

My 94 GTR (non-vspec) runs the sumitomo setup:

Diameter 296mm x thickness 32mm - Front

Diameter 292mm x thickness 18mm - Rear

Is it possible that a non-vspec got the Brembo brakes? no, because they simply wouldn't fit under the stock 16" wheels, there's a reason why the V-Spec has 17" wheels.

Interesting to hear that your Sumitomo setup uses the above size rotors...

Do a search on the DBA website for "late model" 32 GT-R (non-vspec). It actually gives you larger rotors front and rear.

I know that in the late model 32's they upgraded few things such as the clutch & maybe the rear diff housing... I was wondering if they uped the size of the rotors too but kept the same calipers? Would it even fit under the 16's?

Or is this an error by DBA?

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.

      R34 "maintenance reminder lights" and mysterious voice

      This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.

      Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.

      I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
