does this mean mine are r34 brembos and gtr rotors?

No, because the original would be too small for either rotor. It is possible to bend the cover back away rather than cutting it (that's what I did to put 296 and them 310mm rotors on a 280mm car). The offset change on the disc itself with the Z33 rotor might mean that you don't need to do anything. I can't remember which way the disc moves, but if it moves outward then there's your magic.

I have Z33 front calipers and rotors on my GTT and I did not need to do cut the lip on the dust covers. There is just enough room to accommodate them. They may have touched on a few spots which was easily bent away with a flat screwdriver.

when I cared about sharing knowledge 🤣🤣 ..so gets like that 

Oh you know back then you could have easily bought 350Z Brembo front calipers with used OEM rotors for $500 or less.

A while after I wrote that stupid article the price of 350Z Brembo calipers shot up lol.

It's official now, it's all your fault. Lol🤣

Yeah I read that article and then went and bought a set of front and rear Z33 calipers with used rotors for $700. I looked into trying to fit the rears but there were no adapters available so got some R33 GTR rears which bolted straight on.

    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
    • @Kinkstaah I've got my list.. but most of them is to do if I ever win the lotto
