Evo and STi brembo compatibility
i am wondering if their brembo calipers will fit on our Z. I am sure they are the same model, but dont know if they will be direct fit. If not, then i guess they will not worth the hassle, but if they are, then
I tried searching for old archives, but no luck, maybe someone can chip in

I compared the STI and Z Brembo's together at an autocross, and the STI calipers are definitely shaped slightly differently than the Z's. However, this does not neccesarily imply that they aren't interchangeable. I imagine somebody would need to try it to see what happens.

Rotor size would probably determine that. If the STI uses a larger diameter rotor, then it must have larger sized pads as well. If that is the case, they would overhang on the Z's smaller diameter rotors (if that is indeed the case, as the alternative [smaller rotors on the STI] could also be the case).
Update: As taken from Suabru's website for the STI: Front: 12.7-inch ventilated discs with 4-piston fixed position calipers. Rear: 12.3-inch ventilated discs with twin-piston fixed position calipers.
The Track model Z comes with 12.9 inch fronts and 12.7 inch rears. I would wager that the calipers are therefore not compatible.

We have 324mm rotors in the front, and 322mm in the rear. There's no guarantee anything will bolt up since there are rotor offsets that you have to consider, as well as the caliper bracket design. For instance, even though the R34 Skyline has the same size rotors, there was a 5mm offset difference between the two.
