R33/34 Callipers On V35.

[NISMO]

Hey guys,

Does any one have any idea if the front callipers from a R33 GTS25t or R34 Gt-t will bolt onto the V35?

Being a 2005 Coupe, I don't have the Brembo's, and I though if they can bolt on, the 4 piston callipers from the older Skylines might be a nice cheap upgrade for both performance and looks.

Any thoughts?

I'm not in any kind of rush so that sounds great. Someone actually doing it is much better than taking a guess. :-)

Any idea on what such a swap would do to the break balance of the car. In my case if all is good and I go ahead, would moving from 2 pistons up front to 4 pistons, mean I would need to correct soemthing in the rear?

I personally dont think it would overally effect it, i drove my 33 round with non turbo rear brakes for ages on the street and its still that way now that its a full drag car with no worries, but dont quote me.

wisshing i hadnt sold the twin pot rears now though

Oh and cheers for the heads up on those rims mate ill check em out.

The Brembos come up for sale on a regular basis, especially from Z33 owners going to a big brake kit.

I got mine for $2500 with calipers, rotors and OEM pads...and that was over a year ago. Price should have dropped since then. I've seen quite a few people selling just the front calipers as well, so its also an idea.

Ok had it up on the hoist today, fitting the new coilovers.. The fronts are only SINGLE PISTONS!! i couldnt beleive it... But it doesnt look like 33 calipers will fit just by a quick look... there is a thread on here somewhere saying that it is possibl to fit 34 GTR calipers?? i think... either way im now looking at the G4 8 piston kit with 330mm rotors for 2300 from a mob in melbourne i think.. but it doesnt help for the rears..?? im really at loss as i cant seem to find many 350z brembos about... and im guessing to purchase them with some decent rotors ud be reaching the cost of teh 8 piston kit anyway...

Yahoo! Japan auctions should have them coming up.

And, like I said, $2500 for used Z33 Brembos. If you were to buy a new BBK from anyone else other than G8 (not a big fan of their products, their QC is shit, and my brakes are a component I don't want to be using unreliable parts on) $2500 wouldn't get you front calipers or rotors for the Z. The stock rotors, also being Brembo, are quite "reasonable" from a performance perspective.

I called around before I bought the Brembos, and most front kits were $4K from the reputable manufacturers (AP Racing, Brembo, etc). Going BBK all round was up around $8K.
