a friend of mine has a pair of r32 skyline calipers for sale, im thinking about buying them ,but there are way to large for the stock 7 spoke rims to fit, what size spacer should i use if i wanted to put them on ,and is it safe to do a spacer? and how much difference are these then the 300zx's? thanks

R32 GTS-T brakes are exactly the same as 300zx 30mm Aluminum calipers. You can interchange the rotors. They will fit behind some stock 7-spokes, but not behind others due to a change in the casting of the web behind the spokes.

R33 GTS-T calipers will fit, but you cannot use a 300zx 30mm rotor, because the diameter of the R33 GTS-T rotor is larger. Nonetheless, this will fit on an S-chassis car with R33 GTS-T rotors.

GTR calipers are brembo designed and manufactured by sumitomo in japan. They are huge, but will bolt onto an S-chassis car if you use GTR rotors as well.

Yup! Do that. It's easier. Go for 30mm BTW. You need to check inside design of your stock rim. They look same from the outside, but inside is different. Good design can clear 26mm easy. In worst case, 10mm spacers should take care of that, but why don't you just buy new wheels???
