Just wanted to know the general window for the cost of a complete set of R33 brakes (pads, rotors, calpiers, etc.) for a 97 240. I need brakes anyways so I thought I might as well upgrade. Any 4 sale??

I believe the R33 non GT-R brakes are the same as Z32 30mm brakes. They (calipers and rotors) can sell from $200 to $500...

Can anybody confirm or correct me?

Why do you want to put R33 skyline brakes on a 240SX?

Just wondering... Cause it is a bit extreme for that car if you don't have an RB motor already in it along with it not being suped up.

Upgraded brakes are fine for a stock motor. Many people (me included) suggest doing brakes and suspension before adding major power.

Just wondering in case the future has something in store for me. I need a whole new set soon anyways, why settle for stock when I can upgrade. Besides bigger brakes just look sexy as hell
