I am about to get a set of JDM brakes from a Skyline, I beleive R34. Does anyone know anything about these brakes, I was told they are better than Brembos? Direct bolt on to a G35?

 

They use the same caliper as the U.S. Track model 350Z.

 

Do you know how I would tell if they were from an R34 or R33? And would it make a difference to me if they were from an R33?
I was told they are black with red NISSAN letters.

 

so its possible to fit the skyline calipers onto a z33? i have base,. a long time ago i won a pair for 300zx aluminum front calipers (same as skylines) on ebay but i didnt pay for them because after i won it i was convinced that it will fit but it will be an unreliable conversion. am i wrong?

 

They're very similar, but share a 5mm difference offset, both in the rotor and caliper bracket.

 

Which I understand can be easily resolved with a washer.

 

Possibly... I really don't know in what direction the offset is... then you will have to look at clearance issues and offsets for the wheels...

 

should not have any issues - the AP kit I run on my car is technically a Z32 kit and it fit without modification or shims of any kind...even the brake lines

 

What about total piston area vs. the Z33 setup? You really don't want to be messing with the F/R ratio of piston area. Stoptech has covered this topic ad nauseum.

 

Z32 calipers are the same as Skyline R32 calipers, but different than R33/34/Track calipers.

 

whoah whoah whoah
if they say nissan on them they arent from a gtr, and arent brembos, they are probably worse then what you have.

i think they bolt on though.

 

They are from a ZX. Is that better than the stock non Brems?

 

i have no idea as far as those.
dont think its ever been done.

usually people put those on s13/4s

 

The z32 calipers are 4 piston calipers. we put them on the Z31s also. the z31 turbos have what looks to be the same brake caliper as my touring 350z. twin piston caliper. so woulden't the z32 4 piston caliper be better than the reg twin piston?
this could possibly be another brake up grade option. If u match a good pad and rotor to it.

I would not even bother using those brakes if they are the ones labelled "Nissan". While they are a 4 piston (Subaru's in Japan use a nearly identical caliper), the actual size of the pad theta is used is not much bigger than the OEM Z pad - I fail to see what benefit it will offer other than slightly improved intial feel.

All the while I thought you got Skyline Brembo's and were asking if they fit...sorry
