The 350Z disc cannot be used on the Skyline because of the different hat heights, the 324mm Skyline disc must be used and I understand that the two calipers use different size mounting bolts.

So assuming these are the only differences (to the best of my knowledge) then fitting 350Z calipers would not be an insurmountable task (in conjunction with the GTR33/34 disc) but unless you could pick up the 350 calipers at a bargain price I would suggest using the GTR calipers and saving yourself the hassle

the 350z/ v35 skyline ones use a m14 bolt to mount them where as 33/34 gtr uses a m12.

and ther offset of the skyline ones is off by about 3-4mm.

i tried fitting 33/34 brembos on a v35 and the bolts went big enough and the caliper rubbed on the outer face of the disc :

hope that helps.

ps... you can bolt them up but youd need the matching discs with the calipers.

Thanks guys, thats helpful. I'm interested because a company in the US called RacingBrake has released a 6 pot caliper/adapter/disc/pad set for the 350Z/G35 that's about AUD 2500.

http://www.racingbrake.com/350Z_G35_03_05_...026-311-611.htm

Being the US they don't have access to GTRs like we do so I thought I'd see if anyone knew if they were compatible.

Regards

I think this all got answered, but like t04 said the only difference is the thread on the bolts. Just match calipers to discs and it should be fine. I just never got around to getting bolts the right length

Bit of an old thread bump.

Just want to confirm what I am reading.

If you got a complete front aftermarket brake kit with calipers, rotors and brackets made for the G35/350Z, it would bolt onto a R32/R33 Skyline if you had the brackets have M14 holes on one end for the caliper and M12 holes on the other end to bolt onto the hub correct?

hmmm, interesting.

looking for the same answers for the same reasons...

so, to sumerise, get a complete kit, and it should fit..

is that it?

might have to take the plunge, and try for myself.

if i do, will put up a write up.

Im running r34 brembos on the front of my Stagea which is the same as a v35/350z in the brake department. The offset may be different but other than that they are the same calliper. Just make sure you get the disks from the model the callipers are from.

I have a spare front seal kit for these these brembos if anyone needs one.

How similar are the Brembo brakes that came on 350Z's and R33 / R34's?

In the front they both run DB1520 pads and the rears run DB1521 - so if the pads are the same they they must be very similar.

The difference seems to be in the disk offset as shown in the attached link http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=41147

So the big question is:

Are the seal kits interchangeable as you can buy factory kits for 350Z's from the US for a very good price?

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
