About the 300zx brakes they are direct bolt on....but you need custom brake lines...

The GT-R Brakes Are Bigger then the Z's and will need brake lines too...

Stock brakes (FRONT) are : 9.8" = 248mm (Singel piston caliper)

Z's Are 11" = 280mm (4 piston caliper)

350Z Are 13" = 330mm And Masssive 4piston caliper (must redril the mounting holes)

EVO IX / STI Brembo Are 320mm = 12.6" And will need adapter plate...

Also search on zilvia.net....

You Can Do ANY car brakes into S13/S14...

What i've seen so far :

300zx brakes (easyest route)350Z Brakes (Will cost you around 1000-1200$)EVO IX/STI Brembo MKIV Supra TT (need adapter plate front and rear)FD RX-7 (need adapter plate front and rear)90-96 Q45 Brakes (NO-Repet-NO After market support)

Sky Is The Limit...with time And $$$ You Can Fit F1 Brakes If you want..

Abd here Is A Pic Of My Front EVO IX brembo And Stock "ghay" brakes Rear :



Hope This help,

Ali

P.s

SEARCH Here And On Zilvia.net And You Will Find A Ton Of Info...

If I am not mistaken the R33 GTST skyline front brakes are a little bigger in diameter than the 300ZX brakes. I have 300ZX on my S14 and I 've got a set of calipers and rotors from my R33 front clip. If interested they are for sale, email me.
