Front Callipers Gtr / Gtst The Same?

[my_gtr32]

Hi,

Need a set of r32 gtr front callipers and noticed a thred mentioned r33 gtst were the same. Can anyone confirm this for sure? I know Z32 four pots are simular but use smaller pistons. Not sure if this is the case with R33 gtst items.

Thanks

I have a full set (front and rear) of Nissan (not Brembo) R32GTR callipers that have recently been fully serviced, let me know via PM if you are interested.

cheers

The 32 GTR and 33 GTST calipers are the same size, same pistons and deisnged for the same disc. There are some external differences (eg GTR has finned calipers)

Thanks Duncan. Just what I needed to know.

I was also told that the 32 GTR calipers were alloy and 33 GTST calipers are not. Is that correct?

[Guilt-Toy]

what would a good upgrade be for the R33 gtst ? anything nissan make that bolt on thats not going to break the bank ?

Ive got 32 GTR calipers on my car. They dont have the fins on them. I searced around before i bought them, as i thought as you did that they came with fins.

I can gurantee the ones i got are oem 32 GTR calipers, and they are not finned.

The only difference between the r33 gtst and the r32 setup is that the r32 GTR setup uses 32 mm thick rotors, and the gtst uses 30mm rotors (when new of course)

yep, 32 GTR callipers are not finned. 32 GTST callipers are finned. i'm not sure on 33s. i just know they are boats... hehe.

[my_gtr32]

Does anyone know the part numbers for R32 gtr front callipers? Are there any markings on them to confirm this?

Pretty sure one visual difference is that the R32 GTR calipers have the word "Nissan" cast onto a flat smooth caliper surface whilst the R33 ones still have "Nissan" cast onto them but it is cast on top of a raised ridge section.

Hard to explain without pics.

Can anybody confirm one way or the other that 32 GTR calipers are alloy and R33 are not?

[my_gtr32]

You mean like this for a R32 GTR?

And a R33 like this?

Is that wright?

Yup, thats exactly what I mean.

The bottom one is 300zx/32 gtst, not 33.

33 (and 34)gtst calipers are much chunkier looking without the round bits where the pistons sit

The pic below is of a 34 caliper on an r32gtst, the 33 looks pretty much the same but sit's a little further in due to a smaller rotor.

[FATGTS-R]

I will take your word on that. Didnt know there was a difference between 32gtst and 33 calipers but just knew his top pic was what I assumed GTR calipers to be as thats what they have looked like on every GTR 32 I have seen and aslo what my calipers look like which I was told where 32 GTR.

But still, can anybody confirm R32 GTR calipers are alloy and the others are not??

[Beer Baron]

they are alll alloy.

[my_gtr32]

Thanks for that. Yeah I know the bottom pick I posted was actually a 300zx calliper, I was more interested identifing a R32 gtr calliper and was trying to find a calliper with the curved section fastgts-r was talking about.
