350z Brembos On R32 Gtr?

[GTR_Junkie]

Guys,

Im looking at buying a set of 350Z Brembo front and rear callipers with discs, will these fit streight onot an R32 GTR????

Disc offset may be an issue as I believe they are different to a 33/34GTR. If they come with discs and they fit the you should be fine.

Unless your getting a really good deal just do the front and put something like a CSC kit on it.

Very cost effective upgrade and if the car doesn't do that much track work the rear isn't that much of an issue anyway.

they bolt on. front calipers need to be relieved about 1mm where the stock 16s run. ie. wheels dont fit due to the daiameter of the new brakes.

it takes about 5mins to lightly remove the high spots on the calipers.

It's not just as simple as T04GTR suggests, the R32 front spindle uses M12 bolts to bolt the caliper on where as the 350Z calipers use a M14 bolts, what you need to do is drill out (not recommended unless you know what you are doing) the holes in the R32 front spindle to suit the M14 mounting bolts. As far as taking the high spots of the caliper be careful because on the caliper there are bridge seals close to the OD of the caliper, too much grinding in the incorrect place could cause a fluid leak.

My old Brembos went on a mates GTSt and its wasn't too much of an issue to put them on, we did need to cross over the Brembo bolts as the GTSt ones were too short... would be a similar issue with normal R32 GTR calipers.

GTR Brembos sound a lot easier to put on than 350Z ones.

If you want to make them fit under OEM 16s, you'll need to remove a good 3-4mm to ensure enough clearence and if you keep it to the centre ridge you wont strike a leak.

All that said, the Brembos and 324mm rotors are a really good brake for the lighter GTSt, but pathetic for the heavy GTR as the 324 rotors are just too small and will warp if really used.
