Default Z32 Brakes on a Z33

I was just wondering if anyone on here knows if you can put Z32 calipers on a Z33 without any serious modifications?
I have a set I was going to use on my s14 but never got around to installing them and I'm curious to know if they'll work on my Z33.
Any input would be great
Thanks

Does your Z33 already have brakes?

My 03 Z has the single piston calipers ATM
I realize that I could get brembos(which are quite costly) or go with dual pistons calipers from a 06 or newer, but I wanted to see if it was possible to put the z32 brakes on.

Not quite sure how me asking if z32 brakes fitting on my 350 means I don't have any brakes at all.For those who don't know, the z32 came with 4 piston calipers in the front and two piston calipers in the rear.The price difference is quite significant too!
Thanks

Looked into this as well more specifically r32 brakes never did get a solid answer but do believe it's minor modifications mounting brakets etc ... How ever if you are successful with this upgrade I would like see and have your help as you have now re triggered my desire for this ... Thanks, I think

more pistons does not mean better performance, especially for a product that was engineered 20 years ago.

save the swap for the S-chassis guys. pretty sure your stock brakes have bigger rotors than the Z32's 11inch rotor.

^this

z32 brake conversion on a non-brembo z33 would be a downgrade imho
and probably more trouble than it is worth...

Don't do it OP. As mentioned already, the Z32 has tiny rotors.
