I've searched and found info that mostly pertains to the 350Z/G35 Brembo brake swap, but not much from the Skyline R32/33/34 Brembos.

I just picked up a front R32 Brembo Caliper set with rotors, and brake lines hopefully to swap onto my S13, I'll be running Z32 conversion rear, and 1" Z32 MC.

My question is, does anyone know what USDM parts I can use? I.E. I may want to rebuild, replace rotors, and also pads.

According to the specs, the GTR Brembo rotors are the exact same size as the 350Z Track/G35 Brembo: 324x30. However, 88Rotors very specifically says they don't carry any rotors to fit Skylines. Anyone have experience putting another rotor with their R32/33/34 Calipers?

Also, looks like all the Nissan/Infiniti Brembo Calipers have the same rebuild kits available from Nissan, so I would assume R32/R33 etc would fall into that as well. Can anyone confirm?

If calipers are the same, looks like I could probably use 350Z Track pads as well. This is all speculative, as I have searched but found very little. Any help would be appreciated!

I've used a set of Dixcel R33 Rotors on my S14, and when I was in Japan, they didn't list a rebuild kit for an R33. The only kit was for the R32 if I didnt get lost in translation. They ensured me it was ok, used the kit with no problems.

Yeah that's why I think the rebuild kits for the Brembo R32/33/34 are the same. Just need someone to confirm if they're the same as Nissan 350Z/G35 Brembos.

Ok got my R32 Brembo fronts in today with rotors and thought I would share this info if it's helpful.

Rotors measured 296x32, not 324x30 like some people have posted.

Brembo mounting brackets for the calipers are same bolt size 14mm and width apart as Z32 brakes.

I'll post pics if it would be helpful...
