94 R32 Gtr Brake Rotor Size

[lozz_ti]

Just orderd a set of front rotors for my gtr and they are way to big. The place i orderd them from are tllelling me that 94 model gtr came out with brembos not standard nissan calipers. My rotors measured up at 296mm.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Should my car have brembo calipers or did they order the wrong rotors?

Thanks, lozz

Hey mate, AFAIK, gtr32 v specs/n1 spec only came with brembos, with 324mm front rotors

Mines a standard '94 R32 GTR and I don't have brembos, as above only V-Spec & V-Spec II had brembos (and possibly N1 as well I'm not 100%)

They ordered the wrong rotors. According to the DBA catalogue, R32 GTR 08/89 - 12/94 use the 296mm rotor. Later models had optional Brembos.

Just send the rotors back and tell them you need the 296mm rotors (DBA cat 4926)

Not true, there trying to cover up there mistake obviously

Only the V-Spec models as mentioned had the Brembo's as standard, if they FASTED your VIN number before ordering then that would of given them right part numbers. If they did FAST your VIN and this is the rotors that are meant to be on it then i'd be real curious as possibly you own a V-Spec that someone has pilered the brakes off

i have a 94 gtr non v spec, non brembo. my car has the sumitomo's and they are 296mm. find a different shop, they dont seem to be well versed in the nissan skyline

I wouldn't worry too much, the DBA catalogue is pretty unclear on the 94 gtr rotors so they just made a simple mistake.

Thanks guys. I read some where that gtst calipers and 33 gtr rotors fit with an adapter brack for the r32 gtst calipers made by gk tech. Are these rotors the same as the 33 gtr rotors? I can get a set of gtst calipers cheap and then ive got a cheap brake upgrade

Cheers, lozz

[GTSBoy]

No. Not true. The caliper adaptors suit the R32 (and S14 and Z32) calipers which have shorter legs than than the R33/GTR calipers. The only "upgrade" you could do would be to get some old R32 calipers and the adaptors to use those 324mm rotors. But the R32 calipers are not as stiff as the later ones. They creak and groan and carry on like a pork chop.

There are not rally any decent options for spacing the R33/GTR calipers out to 324mm.

cheers

Im confused the legs on the calipers are longer on the gtr ir the legs on the hub? If it the calipers then i can swap them ouf for gtst one i can got for next to nothing. Are you saying its not a cheap upgrade worth doing because they creak and groan or do they flex to much and ruin the brake pedal feel?

Cheers, lozz

[GTSBoy]

Hubs are the same (well, not the same, but the caliper mounts on them are). Caliper legs are different. R32 GTSt calipers are the poor cousin to the GTR and R33 calipers (despite looking much the same, they are not).

Don't do it.

thanks mate. is there any cheap worth while brake upgrades for r32 gtr? im begining to find nothing is cheap when it comes to gtrs

cheers, lozz

PRECISELY

Welcome to owning a GTR

Have a hunt around for a Brembo package for simplicity or if you have look in Group Buy section at moment there in final stages of the D2 6 and 4 pot brake upgrade packages

I bought a front set of R33 GTR Brembo's, which are a direct fit on the R32 GTR,

A decent street setup.

[Duncan]

the d2 group buy is the perfect upgrade....complete, cheap and you will never need to upgrade again

[simpletool]

Yeah you should go the D2 group buy. There is no such thing as a cheap brake upgrade for a GTR.

You'll want more than 324mm in the future anyway, those things are really hard on front brakes.

[KiwiRS4T]

You should be able to sell your brakes to someone with a Stagea or possibly other Skylines etc no problem.
