z33 brakes on an s13

[ceniack]

has anyone tried this, or know how hard it would be to get z33 brakes to work on an s13.

i used the search, but couldn't find anything

thanks.

yea i wanted to do that as well. I have a friend with a Z33 with the Brembo package and I want his brakes.

why, whats wrong with the Z32 brake upgrade?

why, whats wrong with the Z32 brake upgrade?

i want to be different

j/k

i was just curious if it would work, you never know when a 350z is going to end up in a junk yard near you (mainly want it for the bling of the brembos)

[S13 King]

this is true i must agree

[ceniack]

so, i am taking it no one has tried it?

My understanding is the Z33 brakes are the same specs as the last GT-R Brembos. If this is the case, it should fit. Save for lug bolt patterns. But I'm working off second hand info...

[gabossie]

No, I don't think anyone has since there are good alternatives that could be done much cheaper (Z32, JDMS14, Skyline). It wouldn't be impossible I suppose, but it would take some welding skills to make new brackets to addapt them. I'm sure the mounting points are different, different generation of cars, new parts interchangibility...

[S13 King]

true, however i've heard they work on the Z32 and I figured that if we can use their brakes on our cars why not the same with theres??

[pampadori]

the spec v brembos work on our cars. this is another option.shaun

ive have been told that the bolt pattern for the caliper is the same, but the diameter of the bolts is bigger so you have to drill and tap out the spindle.

any pics to back up the spec v calipers?

[pampadori]

well, the altima, 2000 and up sentra, 240sx, g20, and q45 are all same pattern for caliper mount points. so while i don't have pics, its seems logical.shaun

The Brembos on the 350z are the same as the Brembos on the R34 GTR Skylines.

The Brembos on the 350z are the same as the Brembos on the R34 GTR Skylines.

and do the R34 GT-R skyline brakes work on the s chassis?

[nlzmo400r]

yes i believe they do, atleast the mounting points are the same. I dont know why they would go with bigger mounting bolts though. They're already 19mm. Also, anyone know they spec on the spec V brembos? are they the same as the 35oZ rear brembo?

[S13 King]

I've been looking for this info and have come up with nothing. If someone has this info please post.

I've been thinking of this as well, but the rotors are huge (as in much bigger than the stock z32's), so I think that you would need some sort of adapter to mount the caliper. Unless the z33 uses the same knuckle and the calipers have elongated mounting arms.

[S13 King]

i'll check with some of the 300zx guys and see if anyone has done this.

[93RPS13]

i read that the brembo mounting bolt are bigger so you probly need to mod the caliper to fit it

[ca18datsun510]

maybe thats it, i heard something similiar. but i may have wrote it backwards.

[93RPS13]

i read on cardomain, the car was a Z32, i know thats alot of cars to look at to find it but the car also has a set of the R34 GTR rims

[S13 King]

mmmm, well we'll see

are there any 240's with Skyline brakes?
