Default Skyline R32 Brakes on 350Z?

Came across these:
http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=2897

And I began to wonder if they'd fit the 350z.

A simple yes or no would do, with maybe some information.

A thread lock can be issued after the answer.

Depending on how much work/fabrication I would have to say its worth it. Apparently 32 guys use our brembos so it has been done. I have been thinking of doing this as my buddy is parting out his r32 and his 4 pots on my non brembo 350 would be a good upgrade. In both looks with it saying nissan and in performance especially if upgrade to braided line

There is a company in japan that makes a bracket to do this. When I was there I saw them mounted on a z. Its really not worth it since they are the same as z32 brakes for the most part. I did the 370z brakes since they are much bigger and cheaper in the long run.

They need an adapter bracket to work on a Z a few of my friends have R32s they are the same as Z32 brakes.

You're right. The Brembos are much better, and have a much bigger pad selection. Plus they don't hold up well in mild track applications.

aw hell. Too late.

(Technically you don't have skyline brakes...you have GT-R brakes)

(just ribbing you because I have not seen you post GOOD pictures of your brakes. The only pics I have seen were distant or angled.

Z32 guys use Z33 brakes because its an upgrade for them. R32 is nearly a decade old. Why would you throw on old brakes made from another platform when there are tons of proven after-market readily available for the Z? Even if your buddy is giving them out for free, I still wouldn't want that headache. On top of possibly having to create brackets, think about the availability for maintaining them, i.e. pads, and rotors.
