Hey Guys, does anyone know the difference between Skyline r33 and 300zx TT 30mm calipers? Looking to do this conversion, I heard the r33's caliper body is physically larger?? and I believe the rotor for it is narrower on the r33?

Nope. I believe they are the same. I'd to the 300z calipers. Parts available from almost any parts store.

actually the skyline calipers are a little bigger....not by much....i know this because my friend did a skyline upgrade on his 300zx tt....so i am thinking if u can get skyline calipers u may not have to machine down 300zx rotors....or not as much...and u would want r32 calipers

PM sx7r... he attempted to install skyline calipers. They definately are different from 300zx - he had to machine the calipers... im just not sure on the details.

You don't need bigger calipers than the 300z. ESPECIALLY if you run the 13" cobra rotors.

well it depends what skyline calipers u use.....r32 are very similar to 300zx.....r33 and r34 are totally different..........in my opinion u dont even need 13" Cobra rotors either but he asked

Okay I did some research. The R32s are similar (if not the same as the 300z).

from tt.net:

Z32 280mm X 30mm
R32 GT-R 296mm X 32mm
R33/R34 GT-R 324mm X 30mm

The "Skyline" brake kit sold here in the USA is the R32 GT-R brakes. The R32 GT-R had 16" wheels just like the Z32, which is why their brakes will fit behind the stock Z32 wheels. The R33 and R34 GT-R used 17" and larger wheels, so they could use larger diameter rotors. As a side note, the R33 and R34 GT-Rs used 4 pot Brembo calipers, while the R32 GT-R and the Z32 both used Nissan (OEM) calipers.

Exactly, I'm not looking for anything physically bigger than the 300ZX calipers as I know there's already going to be clearance issues, it's just there seems to be a rash of Skyline calipers on ebay listing as 300zx Calipers!

Thanks to help from various people on the org especially Jeff92se & Automax, I'm trying to do some spade work so I don't screw up and buy something I can't use, I'd really like to go to the 13" rotor but I want to make sure I have proper clearance and if the R33 calipers are bigger that only compounds the problem. I'm still searching for a good deal on a set of 300zx TT calipers

I got mine from Centric Parts in Ca, brake parts warehouse. They were remanufactured & the cost was around $300, I also got patial core credit for my stock 96' Maxima calipers which took the overall cost of the 300ZX TTcalipers to around $220.

Will the stock Maxima caliper brackets be compatable with the 300zx caliper?

MAXRB8

The brackets are removed when installing the 300Zx caliper

Will 300ZX calipers bolt on to 6th gen Maxima (2004-2005)?

GAMERA30

iTrader: (4)

Nope .... alredy tried that retrofit.^the 6th gen used a larger 14mm bolt. 300zx used a 12 mm. Asside from that.U need bracket/adapter from Jeff or Matt
