Hey guys, I did a few searches looking for skyline brake info and didn't quite find everything I need to know.

I think from reading , that the Skyline calipers and rotors WILL fit if I did a 5 lug conversion from 300Zx or 5 lug 240SXSE yes?

I am wondering if I could use skyline hubs and the parts associated with them to do the 5 lug swap in place of 300ZX or S14 parts. Also if I did or could, would I still get S13 shocks and springs?

and are R33 GTS-T brakes the same 4-pot ones as the GTR or if not, what are they?

I can't answer all your q's...but maybe this will help.:)http://www.aa.aeonnet.ne.jp/~c...m.htmh ... ~c...1.htm

I wouldn't waste my time trying to figure out if skyline hubs will work or not though. It's much easier to soure z32/s14 and since you know they work, it's a safer bet.

Thanks for the info Dori Dori!

One thing I didn't really make clear is, if I already HAVE the front and rear parts of a skyline inlcuding the hub and knuckles, and brakes. COuld I use it in place of 300ZX or S14SE

There is only one way to find out!:pface

I am going to take a stab and say that the hubs/bearings and spindles in the front probably won't work. You'll probably have to do the same things that everyone who swaps for z-brakes and 5-lugs have to do (that is, get the s14 hub/bearings and spindles and a s14 ball joint in a s13 cntrl arm). I will also guess that you may have some brake line issues (the page I linked you to should have info on that).

Let us know what happens.:)

Well, if its anything like the 300zx, all you have to do for the brake lines is buy the ones made for the skyline. I think dori dori is right though, it is a lot of work into making all that stuff fit, and it wont be easy unless you are in japan or go there very often.
