set of Nissan R33 skyline GTST/GTT Sumitomo brake calipers and slotted DBA 290mm rotors, as well as adapter plates and newly machined 324 mm rotors to suit a Skyline, Stagea or S14/15, I purchased the adapter plates and 324mm rotors 2nd hand along with a full set of new pads to suit and was going to fit them to my car but were too small to fit behind my rims to allow clearance of the spokes, so the entire braking system was changed out.

these Sumitomo calipers and 296mm rotors are usually installed as an upgrade on a Stagea which is what they were fitted to when I bought it, so if you were to combine the calipers adapter plates and the big rotors it'll be streets ahead compared to stock.

the adapter plates and pair of rotors by themselves new is around $600, so am thinking $620 for the entire box of stuff is cheap, will also chuck in the standard nissan rear stagea rotors and calipers if they are wanted for and extra $50, enough to cover the cost of the brand new bendix pads in them.

not interested in swaps in general, and definitely not interested in lowball offers.

can freight at buyers cost if required, but pick up preferred

What vehicle do these calipers come from?

I'm led to believe that they are from an R33 GTR, and or an R34 GTT, I had them on a series 2 stagea

33R had brembos so likely 34GT-T

What size wheels did you have that they wouldn't clear? Would 18s make it do you think?

I had them inside 18" rims with the 324mm rotors fitted, but when I bought a new set of rims in a different brand they fouled on the inside shoulder of the calipers against the back of the spoke, and because I'm stubborn and wanted that rim I changed complete brake system to be able to use that wheel. 

So most Japanese spec wheels in 17" and over should fit over them

They won't be R34 GT-T calipers.  Those suit a 310mm rotor.  They have longer legs than the R33 calipers.  I haven't seen a caliper adapter that will space those out to only 324mm.  The adapters shown look like all the usual ones that are used to put the R33 (296mm rotor) calipers onto 324mm rotors.

And following from that, the 290mm rotors listed above would have to 296mm rotors, as there are no 290mm rotors for Skylines.

ok fair enough,thanks for clarifying that for me.

I am unsure as to which model they came off as they were on the stagea when I bought it, so I was only going off what I have been told from others.

 I'll work out how to edit the ad to reflect that they are 296mm rotors as soon as I can, but i am having trouble finding where to edit the first post, any help appreciated????

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
