Just as the title states. I have a friend from japan who has a crapload. Will these fit our cars with stock rotors and all? When I go 5 lug conversion, I'm sure these will work with s14 rotors correct?

fit, yes. stock rotors, no. 5 lug with s14 rotors again that's a no, the rotors are too small.

Wrong....

Luvs: you did not specify what type of R32 you were talking about so im gonna guess any set except GTR.

180fan hit it right on the money...GTS and GTS-T calipers are exactly the same as 300zx Twin Turbo calipers... aka 30mm 4 pot the exception is that R32 calipers are always aluminum. GT-R calipers are just slightly different. The Bolt holes that mount up are the same but the rotor size is different.

Same goes with R33 calipers...They bolt up and will use the 350z track model rotor.

Lovelesss: I dont know what model you were talking about so.....You cannot just bolt up a 300zx/r32 caliper on a 350z track rotor. Now there is a ebay company that makes an adapter. I honestly am pursuing this setup.

An R32 GT-R will not bolt up to a 350z track rotor whatsoever.

An R33/R34 GT-R will bolt up to a 350zx track model rotor.

Hope I helped out

right now I have 30mm 300zx caliper on 350z track rotor. Shortyly after I learned someone else on this forum that has a r32 caliper on 350z track rotor. I don't know about r33 though.

Loveless: are you using an adapter of any sort? I just picked up a 5 lug conversion today and ive already had my R32 calipers so im only brake lines and rotors away!

Oh man thats cool, I was kind of skeptical of a bracket but then I started realizing most big brake upgrade kits use some kind of adapter.

to fix some info.

there are iron r32 calipers. some are 32mm vs the 26 or 30mm counterparts from the 300zx.

the r32 calipers will work just as the z will work with the right rotors/pads/conversion lines.

pads are slightly different depending on model i've seen the part numbers. rotor is almost 12" in diameter. so go figure out what you have first.

There are no non aluminum calipers from a skyline. The GTR used the 32mm rotor and GTS-T and below used the 30mm rotor. There was no 26mm rotor for the skyline.

Sorry gotta add my 2 cents =). So I found the brackets and this is what it says.

240SX Caliper Braket (Pair) Upgrade 350Z Track Rotor with Z32 300ZX 4 Piston CaliperInfo:

Bracket is for 240SX 89-98 S13 / S14 240SX S13 / S14 must use 300ZX Z32 30mm calipers and 350z 12.75" track rotors Simple Upgrade to Bigger Rotor & Better Brake 2 CNC machined caliper brackets Included 4pcs long bolts

So the 350z track editions need 30mm not 32mm. My suggestion go to http://mynismo.com/products/?id=2897 and buy 32mm rotors instead.
