Anybody running Skyline calipers w/350z rotors?

[Holvinator]

Anybody running this set up?? DBS rotors for R33-34 are on back order and they come from Australia plus they are expensive.
I know there are some brackets that I could use to fit those calipers using 350z rotors (Which are WAY easy to find anywhere) Please if u have any info regarding let me know!! Thanks

i never heard of this set up... and he didnt show it on video together? which is odd and its not on the car. so we cant really know if it worked. GL tho

Well, there is a few guys in this forum that has that set up but I dont know how to find them, neither what is their username here. In order to fit this set up on your car all you need is a 17" rim or bigger because the calipper will be sitting higher than before.

Its been a pain in the butt trying to find rotors (296mm x 32mm) for them Skyline calipers. My Calipers are working great & dont really want to get rid off them to buy 300zx calipers & take the chances 2 c if they gonna mess up on me soon or they came bad.

z32 tt aluminum calipers are the same as skyline calipers are they not? if so hit up phase2motortrend.com and order some drilled slotted rotors like i did...

[srraptor]

from the video they look exactly the same as mine

Nope, 300zx rotor wont work properly; they will fit, but their is about 1/4 of an inch of the rotor that wont reach all the way up to the brake pad. What is going to happend (is actually happening right now) the 1/4" of brake pad that is not touching the rotor, will be touching with the top part of the rotor when the whole brake pad is worn up & will create this extremely anoying sound everytime you brake eventho you still have a good portion of brake pad left.

oh i see, close though. well if you swap to z32's they sell at autozone for $40 a caliper... not too bad, if i remember right they have wagner brand r33 rotors you can order but i would have to check on that.

It won't work with skyline calipers. They'll be spaced out too far and there will be approximately 1/4" of the pad that isn't touching the rotor. It works with z32 calipers (30mm), adapter brackets, and 350z track rotors. So far I haven't seen any company that makes adapter brackets for skyline calipers w/ 350z rotors.

Yeah there is pad overhang, I used it with the Z32 calipers and it was just junk

Guess what guys! I already found what I need WHoOpp wHoOp!! lol Here's a link 4 those who are going through the headache that Im going through. : ) Now I gotta find out What kind of skyline Calipers I have. Dont know if the are from an R32 or R32 GTS or GTST or R33...maybe R34?? lol All I know is that 300zx turbo rotors are small for those calipers. Think the size of rotors that Im supposed to be using is 296mm x 32mm or 30mm... dont know. My caliper are Black and made out of Iron.

Anyhows here's the link for the brake kit for those who has Skyline calipers : http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_in ... ts_id=3422
