Nissin 4 pot caliper differences?

[pete05]

HI all im looking to do a brake upgrade on my jzx73 and im planing on going for the ba falcon rotors with the nissan 4 pots, any way my question is, is there any differences to look out for with the nissan calipers, i was looking at a set of r32 gtst calipers but dont know if they will fit the 30mm disc, would it fit or is it only the r33 calipers that fit the 30mm disc?
I also looking else where and have seen that the ba 296mm rotor is only 28mm thick is this correct?

cheers

R32 GTST calipers are for the 280x30mm disc. R33's are for the 296x30mm disc. The 26mm ones are from the earlier 300ZX.

The 26mm ones are from the Non-Turbo 300ZX.

Fixed...

Pete,

For the conversion you would be going, you will need the R33 GTS-T calipers... (same as R32 GTR, but different to R32 GTS-T)

ahh excellent guys thanks alot, i was a bit unsure. im currently running the jzx81 brakes but they dont seem to like the heat to much.

Were they not on late Z31's as well?

[pete05]

also how do i tell the difference looking at them?

[JustCallMeOrlando]

If you need the R33 ones it's easy, they're smooth looking. The R32/Z32 ones have ridges on them.

[pete05]

ahh excellent, i can see the the r32 ones have the ridges across the back of them.
+rep for you

Nope... The early Z31s had single piston calipers, and the late Z31s had twins...

The only real (non cosmetic) difference in them is longer mounting legs on R33 compared to R32 to clear the larger diameter disc. Thats why you need the R33 version.

You may also need to have your 4 stud hub machined down to fit the BA rotor over the top.

Ask Peewee he knows this stuff back to front on mx73s.

Why bother Peewee when the info is right here?
