hey wassup guys

i have a set of front and rear r32 GTR rotors sitting on my floor at home (296mm diameter i beleive)

looking at doing a 5 stud conversion on my 180 soon

was trying to find out wat calipers will fit these rotors???

will 33 GTST calipers fit over these rotors??

was hoping i could use 33 GTST front and rear calipers

33 rear hubs

custom or s14 front hubs

and 33 handbrake cable

with the 32 GTR rotors for the 5 stud conversion on the 180

does anyone have any info on wat calipers will fit over the 32 GTR rotors? this is my main concern for the conversion as i have heard that only GTR calipers will fit over these rotors

all help appreciated

peace

ROB

R32 gtr calipers and r33 gtst calipers are exactly the same, and therefore use the same rotor....

So yes, you can use r33 calipers.

Use the calipers that go with the rotors, and they will fit.

thats not all correct, r32gtr discs are 32mm thick, where 33gtst rotors are 30mm thick. (refer to dba website)

so im not sure if you can use 33gtst calipers, due to the extra rotor thickness.

i know 100% that you can use the standard calipers off a 300zxTT with the 32gtr rotors.

so assuming i use the 300ZX TT front and rear calipers with the 32 GTR rotors

will the 300zx TT rear hubs bolt straight in to a 180? will i need specific 5 stud rear hubs to match the rotors? i know 33 GTST hubs bolt straight into 180 rear

can i use:

- r32 gtr rotors front and rear

- 300zx TT calipers front and rear

- custom 5 stub front hubs

- 33 GTST rear hubs

as a combo to do the 5 stud conversion?

or am i better off selling the 32 GTR rotors and just buying a complete GTST package or something?

i have not idea if they will bolt up to a 180sx, sorry!

but your plan sounds right i think it would all fit together.

personally i would probably just buy rotors hubs and calipers together if i could, and then u only have the problem of fitting them to your 180

i know r32gtr rotors (the 324m ones) bolt straight up to a 300zxtt hub, so if you got the 300zxtt hubs assuming they bolt up to your 180 you could use the 300zxtt calipers and the discs you have now.

Yes the thickness of the rotors is 2mm different, however like i said they use the same calipers. Which would mean that the calipers could easily use either the 30 or 32mm rotor. The extra 2mm wouldnt mean much, its the rolling diametre (296mm) which would make the difference....

ah ok i was not sure if the caliper could accept the extra 2mm. with z32s (and i assume skylines now or in the near future) you can get adaptor brackets so you can use the standard rotors with the bigger 32gtr rotors i think 324mm, UAS in sydney has them.

    • @Kinkstaah yeah I initially checked with Chequered as I've used them with a previous car. But they have stopped sourcing and installing Nistune chips. They only do tuning now. I did not want to pull out my ECU and send it away somewhere to have the chip installed. That would mean no driving the Skyline  
    • Should have checked that.  On the plus side, I got my Bluetooth adaptor.
    • Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha. We also have professional engineers who were only school smart but have no idea how a drill works. They generally go straight into management roles out of school which is also for the best. 
    • Not currently, I'm at the school where we teach people to build bridges and other fun things that involve making, or breaking things
    • I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
