r33 calipers and cobra rotors?

Has anyone ever used r33 calipers and cobra rotors on here.. i have searched extensively and noone seems to make the brackets to make this work.

I am thinking of making my own but if they exist then i'd rather take them from you.

Jeff's brackets put it far enough out for a 14in rotor but i already have the cobra rotor and don't feel like wasting my money.

the r33 caliper is made for a 296mm rotor and the z32 is 280mm.. so i need a bracket that is 8mm smaller but i has been a no go so far.

any help is greatly appreciated

Don't think anyone has done it. It's possiable someone on my350z did the GTR Brembo brakes on there Z and just had custom mounts made and the hub modified..


Found this as a reference

It will work, people have been doing it for a long time the same way they use Z32 calipers.

yea no GTR. GTR brakes you have to use the Z33 rotor IIRC.

thanks wireless.. i keep coming across that chart but thank you either away

yes they are the GTS-T calipers which per the chart use a rotor that is 18mm larger than the z32..

i guess i'm just asking has anyone ever even seen a bracket for a maxima or 240 for this type of setup?

I've heard of a couple people using this company for brackets. They may have what you need or be able to make something up.
