"I ... used R33 GTS-t calipers and rotors (which I am positive are the same as R32GT-R) I used a 3mm spacer between the hub at the rotor to simply clear the lower control arm and be 100% sure its not going to touch (without this spacer the rotor was like literally a BEES DICK away from touching) I then mounted the caliper and found the rotor was more to the outside brake pad.. we then put a 1.5mm washer on each caliper mount which then centralised the rotor within the caliper!" - DANS-GT-R31


"to get away with out using spacers the best method is to use R32 GTS-t or Z32 300ZX calipers and R33 GTS disks.. this way you have the disks with 4 stud pattern and they line up a treat. but if you want that little bit bigger calipers you have to use R33 GTS-25t or R32 GT-R and their disks with spacing.." - R31_IceMan


"I have R32GT-R calipers all round, R32GT-R discs up front & HR31 discs on the rear. The standard rear HR31 disc is 292mm, the R32/33 are 297mm, both are the same thickness (18mm), but the HR31 rears have about an additional 6mm offset. The R32/33 rear calipers go straight over the HR31 rear discs, but to use R32/33 discs you will need to space out the calipers.
On the front I machined the unused inner section of the disc (this was where my disc was contacting the control arm) & linished the end of the control arm, I now have a couple of mm clearance but the disc is off centre about 1-1.2mm in the caliper, I'm going to make some 1mm spacers to go between the discs & hubs so I can lose the spacers I'm running on the front wheels (they hit the caliper when the nuts are tightened)." - GTS20X
