S13 to R32/R33 brake discs - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

From what I gather, the R33 Brembo caliper/rotor swap is very popular among the Japanese S13/180sx crowd. Now obviously we're not going to get any of that lovely stuff here, but "just say" i could get my hands on it, what would be needed?

As I understand, this would also make it a 5 lug conversion, no? If only I could understand (and read) japanese. *sigh*

Bump?
Don't tell me no one here has R33 brakes...

What's size are the Z32/300zx brakes? front and rear, that is... and how long should one set aside to do the swap?

why get r32 brakes i know somewhere i read they are only like 2 mm bigger. someone will correct me if im wrong. i just did my z32 brakes on my 4 lug but then had to swap to 5 w stocl whee;ls due to my rims offset.

check my site outthe installs section

on the rear if you car has hicas the r32 brake system including the hub is a bolt on.  The only mod you have to do is for the e-brake but I heard its not hard to make the e-brake.  On the front you can do the whole s14 swap and use the brakes off of that

woo, nice. how much bigger are the '95+ rotors (and calipers?) and when you say "bolt on", which parts are required?
I like the z rotors on your page camppain; very nice. I'm actually more interested in doing a whole 5 lug swap rather than just the rotor swap though...
nicely designed page (well, so far) btw!

I've recently done the 5 lug conversion for my s13. I was wondering how difficult is it to do the rear Z32 conversion. Or what parts would need to be changes to make the conversion work.

Care to share w/ me (us) how you did the S13 5 lug swap? I can't seem to find a consensus on how it's done, or even relatively detailed instructions.
