Brake Guru's: R32 caliper "?"'s.

[unwed_transient]

(i did use the search function, lol...along w/ google)

I've got some 32mm aluminum R32 calipers (front). I'm having a hell of a time finding rotors for these things. I've pretty much narrowed it down to a 32mmX296mm (courtesy sells oem-ish vented 32X295). My problem is that I can't seem to find blank brembo rotors in this size. Does anyone have any resources they'd share with me?

Thanks.

[ThatGuy]

R32 Calipers = Z32 Calipers
R32 Rotors = Z32 Rotors

Happy hunting!

[unwed_transient]

the z32 TT rotors are 30X280.

if that's true, why does courtesyparts.com advertise 32X295 rotors for the R32?
This Cross-drilled, 295mm x 32mm, R32 Skyline Right Front Rotor requires use of the Skyline Caliper required brake lines and adapters and removal of the backing plate.

The Skyline GT-R (R32) brake system will improve the ultimate braking performance of the 300ZX by increasing the brake pad swept area by 6.8% and internal cooling capacity by 82% over the OE front brakes.
NOTE: A significantly greater improvement in internal cooling capacity (136%) will be obtained on early (up to 7/90) non-turbo models as these were equipped with the "small" 26mm brake rotors. These early cars will also require the longer 116mm (vs 112mm) brake pad retaining pins (1 per wheel) (part# 41217-Z32TT).

CAUTION: Some grinding may be necessary to obtain proper wheel/caliper clearance.
Cross-drilled rotors will increase brake pad wear.

or are they just flat-out lying?

[ThatGuy]

Hmmm, perhaps I have been misinformed. Let's wait for someone with more knowledge. Help us out Zilvia. What's the differece.

[unwed_transient]

R32 calipers accomodate a 32X295 vented rotor, while the Z32 TT uses a 30x280 solid rotor (thank you importnut).

My problem is...I can't find any blank brembo's in 32X295. I guess I have to go with the vented ones from courtesy or ultimateZ, but they're cross-drilled, and rotor longevity is important to me.

Any help is appreciated.

^Importnut is excellent for Z32 brake info. The question here is R32 295mm rotors. I didn't see any info on them on Importnut.

oops, the Z32 TT rotors are vented. however, rotor diameter is 11 inches, or 280mm. I'm looking for 295mm or 11.6 inches. Z32 TT rotors are 30mm in width and I'm in search of 32mm rotors for my 32mm calipers. I suppose 2mm in width is really of no concern, however, i'm not comfortable running a rotor that's going to lose me 7.6 millimeters worth of contact patch on the pad.

If anyone runs Z32 TT rotors on 32 mm R32 calipers, reassure me.

[ThatGuy]

Thank you CHARLIE2020. You've shed some light on this question. I see where I was confused now. I've been pricing the GTS-T calipers. Thank you again.

that's definitely been copied to the hard drive, thanks!

now, where can i find blank Brembo rotors in 32x296/5? :smash:

i'm seriously banging my head on the desk.

[CHARLIE2020]

I once was searchiong on e-bay and i seen skyline rotors listed with various sizes, u might wanna try that.

[unwed_transient]

ebay has thus far been no help as far as skyline rotors go.

looks like it's TT Z32 rotors then. ugh.

z rotors leave a section of pad at the top that doesn't wear when put on r32 gt-r/r-33 gt-s calipers, as i discovered when i just replaced my pads, the PO was an idiot and used z rotors. This was the only place that i could find blanks, everyone else sells cross drilled.

C.i have a Z32 bmc already in place because my stock unit (S13) gave up on me. I'm definite my 32mm calipers are aluminum. I put a magnet to them today...no sticky...

anyway...i'm taking the goddamn calipers into performance nissan (the place MIRAGE linked me to) on wednesday to make absolutely sure...and pick up the 32X296 rotors so I can complete the swap. wish me luck! :eek3d:

Let me know if they work, I'm going to be needing a set here soon, besides fixing the z rotor issue, i've already given them surface cracks from hell.

You will only be able to get blanks from Japan or you can try 3000gt rotors or is300 rotors, but the hub openings will be different.

Your best bet it Courtesyparts.com. Or you can call superiornissanmotorsports to beat their price or vice versa.

I have answered this question 1000 times over, I know....

R32 GTR (non Brembo Caliper) is made by Sumitumo and has a very significant difference from the Z32. Anyone stating they are selling a R32 GTR Caliper that has a "Bar Face" is selling a Z32 (non GTR).

I have a R32 GTR Complete Front Brake System comming in this week (for my car). I will take Pics and post for you all to see.

Now...
R32 GTR Blank Rotors (RF) 40206-05U10/ (LF) 40206-05U11

I would also like to make clear that the only time you have to wait for a product is if its in Japan and not in the USA.

Hmmmm... Thats the first time I have seen one like that... if deffinatly not a Z32, and its super clean like the Skyline models.

This is the R32 GTR (32mm) Sumitumo... notice the differences!!
http://www.raretrick.com/store/images/products/7162_detail.bmp

I will measure out the R32 GTRs when they arrive.

Peace

[Slidin240Wayz]

Please do so. I have made the measurements on my comparison post. As for the genuinity of the gtr calipers, my buddy from AZ had the same type of calipers as the ones I posted on his r32 gtr.

Carlos

[unwed_transient]

alright, well i didnt' get out to performancenissan yesterday, but it's planned for tommorrow. since people are posting comparison pics, i'll post mine up too. they don't look like the r32 gtr calipers scientist posted, nor do they look like slidin's calipers. it's a WTF moment. sorry for the size, i don't have time to resize...

they look identical to my old Z32 30mm Alum calipers
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/sizzo2/P1010094.jpg

you might be in luck then...lol

Z32 rotors are easy to find

[Muzzy]

those look like 90 Z32 26mm or 30mm alum calipers. i say this based on the the whole bar statment earlier

[Muzzy]

AAAHHHHH!!! u beat me to it SIIZZZOOOO

[atom]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y264/Cdoria/DSC02786.jpg

Not R32 GTR?

Those are regular R33/R34 calipers. The 296x30mm ones.

And those black ones are definitely not R32 GT-R calipers. So you were either misled or you lucked out depending on how you look at it.

[killjoy]

So let me get this right. The r32 gts-t ones just use regular z32 rotors right? Or do they use thicker ones?

[MadScientist]

Hows this...

All Sumitumo Calipers:

Z32 Caliper - 26mm and/ or 30mm x 280mm Rotor

[Slidin240Wayz]

Drew,
You are killing me. My calipers use a 30x296 rotor. You can see in the comparison post that it need a bigger rotor because the edge is setup further away from the hub. It may not be a 32mm rotor, but I am sure it can squeeze into there.

R32 T : 280mm x 26mm (single pot sumitomo caliper)
R32 GTS-T (early) : 280mm x 26mm (single pot sumitomo caliper)
R32 GTS-T type m : 280mm x 30mm (4 pot sumitomo caliper)
R32 GTR : 296mm x 32mm (4 pot sumitomo caliper)
R32 GTR VSPEC : 324mm x 30mm (4 pot brembo caliper)
R33 GTS-25 : 280mm x 26mm (single pot sumitomo caliper)
R33 GTS-4 : 280mm x 26mm (single pot sumitomo caliper)
R33 GTS-25T : 296mm x 30mm (4 pot sumitomo caliper)
R33 GTR : 324mm x 32mm (4 pot brembo caliper)
R33 GTR VSPEC : 324mm x 30mm (4 pot brembo caliper)
R34 GT : 296mm x 30mm (4 pot sumitomo caliper)
R34 GTT : 310mm x 30mm (4 pot sumitomo caliper)
R34 GTR : 324mm x 32mm (4 pot brembo caliper)
Z33 NA : 324mm x 32mm (4 pot brembo caliper)
Z32 NA : 280mm x 26mm (4 pot sumitomo caliper)
Z32 TT : 280mm x 30mm (4 pot ali sumitomo caliper)
S14, S15 : 280mm x 30mm (4 pot sumitomo caliper)

So much about a couple of millileters, but in the end it does make a huge difference.

Carlos

[unwed_transient]

damn i got owned then. i got them from tomkaira93...but i got them cheap so it's whatever.

[Slidin240Wayz]

I just off the phone with Performance, he said the gts-t and the gtr's use the same caliper. Some more food for thought.

Carlos

[Siizzzoooo]

dood, go back to the list you posted above, why even think about what the shop said

[atom]

I made a typo in my previous post. When I said "R32/R34" I meant "R33/R34". I corrected it. But yeah Slidin, Performance is wrong for sure.

Just download this PDF and it has all the specs you will need for Nissans.

Carlos,
Sorry bro... I wasn't paying attention to the exact ones you had. Like you said... you can go with the GTR Rotors. It shouldn't have any ill effects... you may get a quicker pedal response.

I just got tracking on my GTRs... they will be here next week... I'll get specs then.

Peace

[Slidin240Wayz]

I'm going to be purchaseing the rotors from one of the nissan shops in the US that offer them for the cheapest price. Once I get them, I will let you all know how they fit.

ps accepting donations for my S14 fund!

[unwed_transient]

well, i guess i came out alright. i came up on some blank brembo's for 1/4 of the price performancenissan was asking for their oem GTR rotors. i can't argue with saving money.

[AWDtoyota]

I don't mean to steal the thread, but I didn't want to start a new one for this simple question.

Does the rear calipers on the Z32 have any differences from one model to another or one year to another? Like how the fronts have two different sized calipers(26mm/30mm), and also how they are made of two different materials(Iron/Aluminum).

Are there any differences like that? Or are all the rear calipers the same throught the years and models(TT/ Non-TT)?

[andrewmp6]

awd as far as i know the z32 the rear cailpers are all the same na or tt

[usdm180sx]

Any nissan dealer that sells nismo parts or nissan motorsports international parts should be able to get them. Or try www.stillen.com

If you get them brand new you will pay through the nose, but both of those sources will either have the rotors or they can order them for you.

Or go to a shop that does rb swaps. You could probably pick up a used set for a lot cheaper. Good luck.

[MadScientist]

OK I actually got the Calipers and Rotors in Today... the hardware is comming on Friday.

I seen those on e-bay when we were writing this thread... was going to use as an example but didn't want to link it.

The lower model Skyline Calipers are the same as Z32, so yes... R32 GTS-T type m : 280mm x 30mm (4 pot sumitomo caliper).

The best way to tell the difference in the better Skyline (non Z32) Caliper is the top is smooth and not ribbed, bar face is not exagerated, or at all (GTR), the botom rotor slot has channel on the side walls for better cooling.

I'll take more pictures if needed.

[SilviaNinja240]

be careful of your wheels, there are quite a few 16'' wheels that won't fit R32 calipers, err.. they 'can' fit with spacers I suppose, but it looks kinda strange. Just be weary about the offset a little

[Slidin240Wayz]

gtr calipers work fine with skyline gts-t rims. I am pretty sure they would work with OEM S14 wheels as well, but not sure.

[PITCH]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y264/Cdoria/DSC02786.jpg

From what year Z32 pads do these calipers take? I'm pretty sure it would be any year 93-96 300zx turbo but just want to make sure befor I purchase.

Also the rear 2 pot calipers what year pads would they take? They are all the same for turbo/non-turbo apps correct?

They are either Iron Z32 or (since they stated they were S14) They are S14 JDM Silvia Iron calipers.

[MadScientist]

So far, I have the following done to the Brakes:

OE S14 Front 5-Lug Hubs
OE R32 GTR Front Sumitumo Calipers
OE R32 Front Drilled Rotors
OE Z32 1 1/16 Master Cylinder (Painted Gold)
OE Z32 Rear 5-Lug Hubs
OE Z32 Rear Calipers (Re-powdercoated Gloss Black)
OE Z32 Rear Drums
Brembo Z32 Slotted Rear Rotors
StopTech Z32 Stainless Brake Lines
Motul 600 Racing Brake Fluid
Speed Bleeders

I also have a Cusco Brake Cylinder Stopper on order because you can deffinatly see the Booster pushing the Master outward.
The only Major issue so far has been odd pedal feel... almost like air in the line... but its not! And mostly the e-brake lines. I ended up with 300zx 2 seater e-brake lines and they are way to short. I thought about doing the Home Depot Special but dont feel Safe strapping cables together. Also seen the Ebay Special e-brake extensions, but hell... they dont even look long enough. So now, I have 300zx 2x2 Cables on order.

As someone mentioned earlier... Buying this Set-up new is way way way out of the budget... I honestly could have gotten Endless, Project Mu, Grex, etc... by now! Hopefully I wont have to do anything else to the brake for awhile after this.

MAD SCIENTIST- Wow, the gtr front brakes look great! how do they feel with the z32 rear brakes compared to having z32 front & rear? have you done any track time yet? I may also consider going the same route.

the thing i like most about the r32 gtr fronts, is that it's pretty much the largest front brake setup that allows you to run 16" z32 tt wheels.

Anyhow, thanks for the info! :)

Did some more work on the Brakes today... mainly the E-brake Cables.

OK so I have the Stock S14 Cables and a set of Z32 (non-2x2) Cables... the short ones, basically useless on 240's. I prefer to do clean work and have been opting to get a set of R32 Cables to finnish the work... but today descided to play. The Stock S14 cables are perfect lenght (duh) but the end is a eyeloop and dosen't work on the Z32 Drum... unless you cut a little here and do little of this and that to make it work... like so!

Take the Z32 cables and cut the "T" shaped head off. Disconnect the Sleeve from the Upright with a 12mm. The Sleeve will slide off the Cable that is now saturated with grease... cleaning it off helps alot. Make sure your Stock cables are connected at the center of the car or you will be doing this all over. Loop the Cable though the S14 Cable Eyehole and secure it with a Home Depot Special Cable Clamp. I also did a little cleanup work like cutting the Cable Guide off the Z32 Sleeve (Cable Guide is the Sleeve part held on by the 12mm at the Upright).

A better version of an old favorite... shocker not included!

scientist said he has z32 rear hubs but the s14 hubs work too. i have them on my car with z32 rear drums and everything works fine, except a cable tension issue i need to resolve.
