Just wondering if anyone can tell me the differences between z32 and r32 brakes...also what is needed to put them on a s13?

barrigaS14

nothing if they are the GTS brakes. if they are GTR then the rotors will be bigger. i think that the width is also bigger with GTR.

Catharsis

ou are correct

alienz

im taking it they would be better then? if they are the gtr brakes....so i should go for those instead of the z32 if i could.

buntavy

they are pretty much the same, just the rotor little bigger by half a inch than z32.. i could be wrong. but yea, either one will do a good work.. got both front and rear Z32 upgraded....

Catharsis

GTR brakes are much bigger than the z32 brakes just FYI

alienz

So just to clarify they are bigger but other than that there is no real difference??

-HyJynX-

The rotor is a little larger, the caliper is the same

alienz

o aight....well then no real need to go r32 if i can get z32....same difference!

Catharsis

again the GTR caliper is larger than a GTS caliper

Would the master cylinder need to be upgraded when upgrading to GTR brakes too, much like how when the Z32 brakes are put in the Z32 MC is also installed?

Catharsis

yes i would always upgrade your MC if you upgrade your brakes

-HyJynX-

Yep! Unless of course your just upgrading your pads and rotors

barrigaS14

just for clairification

GTR rotors and calipers are Bigger than Z32 and GTS calipers and rotors

GTS/Z32 calipers and rotors are the same...GTS should be using the 30mm Aluminum Caliper

if using the GTS/Z32 calipers only in the front then no needed MC upgrade is required.

it is recommended on all bigger caliper and rotor packages but i know a few that use those rotors and calipers up front with no problem.

if using the GTR calipers and rotors then MC upgrade is highly recommended.

if upgrading front and rear calipers then MC is greatly needed.

GTR calipers are extremely hard to find and extremely expensive. the R34 GTR calipers and rotors are the same on the Track Edition Z33.

alrite thnxz for the clarification...that waz great info!! ok this thread satisfied my questions!! lol...other than wat is needed but i believe itz just the spindle, hub, lower control arm pillow ball joint thinggy!! and hubs on rear s14/z32 non-tt. thxz guyz!
