I found this when trying to find out what size brakes my silvia had on it, figured it might help some of you guys out as well.

I’ll make another post with pics of my new brakes beside my old ones.

Well over the summer I got some R32 GTR brakes. So I cleaned and painted them up and they look HOT!! They are a tight squeeze behind my rims, but they do fit, I can’t wait to try them out!
(excuse the poor quality of the camera, it’s just a digital video camera taking stills)

And heres a few shots of them next to my old brakes. These are from a S13 SR20DET (see above for size).

And my favourite shot…I LOVE the air gap on these things!

The pictures just don’t do them justice…THEY’RE HUGE!!!

And a question:
Which way do I want these facing? Do I want them to curve to the front of the car or towards the rear?

Nice info!

I really can’t remember which way they’re supposed to be facing. I’ll check out my car tomorrow if nobody has any info for ya.

I still haven’t checked out what my brakes might be, but they do look upgraded.
On the caliper, about the nissan writing it has the numbers “550”, anyone know what brakes I might have?

Here’s a link I found on google, basically has the same info you have except it includes a couple of pictures.

good find ben :slight_smile:

Your info on the Skyline brakes is incorrect

Skyline
R32
89-93 GTST 280x30mm 297x18mm
89-93 GTR 296x32mm 297x18mm

what about Stagia? There big and have the 2 piston caliper!

I didnt know the GTS25T was bigger either. I will measure some tomarow to see! I want to know forsure!

8

I don’t understand…are you posting my findings beside your findings? Because I know skyline GTR rotors are alot thicker than only 18mm!!! I have a set in my garage and the info posted in correct. If you have another source with different information I would love to see it so post it up!

9

Have you looked at your rotors for me yet? Please let me know which way I need to install them ASAP! Thanks alot!

Thats front and rear brake rotors.

11

Ohh, I see…
I didn’t post any rear info. And my front info is the same as yours, so why did you say it was incorrect??

12

^^Im guessing its because even the flav man makes mistakes

13

HAHA!! I am not trying to chew him out or anything…I was just curious, thought maybe i missed something.

14

Whoops i thought i saw a R32 non GTR thar had 296 Diameter in the front. Soory my mistake.

15

Hey, no need to apologize!

16

I checked the Stagia set up and te rotors have a diffrent offset than the Z32 and R32. Good if you are running the 2 piston caliper as they are the same size as the Z32 but you cant use the Z32 Caliper or R32 Caliper with the Stagia Rotor. Just tried. BTW I totally understand that your pictures dont do justice. GTRs are WIDE!

17

I can’t wait to get them on my car. You guys have your silvias out of the garage yet? I might pull mine out tommorow, not sure yet. I want to and I have allready put all my suspension back in and got her ready to start up…but the roads are covered in gravel and we might still get another snow.
All I need to do the brakes is some brake fluid!!

sorry I thaught I posted this before and ya if its a repost sorry.

Your discs vents need to face toward the rear of the car. They dont scoop the air, they vent it out. Hope it helps.

19

DAMN!! That’s the opposite of what a GTR owner thought I needed to do!
Thanks
