Something a few of you might want to consider doing... whether its just for track use, or have future plans for more power.

Definately a possible DIY job - and definately NOT if you havent got a clue.

I did the conversion myself with alot of blood, sweat and tears, heaps of swearing.

Took me a few weeks, but all up a day or two work total:

- R32 Front and Rear Calipers.

- R32 DBA Slotted Rotors Front - four stud by DBA (no redrilling)

- R32 Stock Rotors Rear redrilled to 4 stud.

- ADR approved custom front braided brake lines.

- Bendix Ultimate pads.

- Motul RBF600 Brake fluid.

Its pretty straight forward, but if you need pictures/instructions to carry out this upgrade then i don't think you should be attempting it anyway.

Here's the final result.

hey eug..

this pretty much is the same process.. which has everything laid out :huh:

Yours looks good though, with proper braided lines and doing it all with quality components. Well done!

i've been looking for a brake upgrade for a while now. Are the r32 brakes better than what's the r33s. and why not just get a 4-5 stud converter (saw a few for sale here and there ASM had one advertised i think) and then get 5 stud brakes. I'm not meaning to be a nay sayer just genuinely wondering as i have no idea. How much did it all cost you? did you use r32gtst or gtr calipers?

ahh sorry Gordo, I didnt realise that the non-type m 32s had NA brakes...

figured it was a 180/S13 and NA skylines type thing.

MR R33: I plan to have a bit of fun on the track with it, and yes its all to prevent fade and heat.

Kor'axis: 33 brakes are bigger than 32s. The reason I didnt go with the studs was that I already had rims.

nice wheels by the way, what size rim is that???

those blakes looks smaller hahahhaha :unsure:

thnx dude, took me a while (read: ~3 months) to find a set that i really liked and would fit the 4 stud pattern. They are a 17x7 rim.

wot blakes look smaller? brakes? :rolleyes:
