so am I correct in thinking that R33 GTR calipers are the same or at least very similar to z32 calipers? I have a set but need new pads so I am assuming that z32 pads would work...is this correct?

if u go aftermarket pads i would recommend calling endless or similar companies. i thought r33 comes with brembo brakes, might be gtr but gt-s.

R33 GTR calipers are brembo. i run these, they are similar to Z33/R34 i think, just different color and the brake disc pot is different.

and no, Z32 pads do not work on brembo calipers, the mounting holes are different.

so will 350z pads fit?

as long as you use the 350Z brembo pads i'm pretty sure they will fit.

i think i once saw a 350Z with smaller brakes, dunno if theres any difference in the US, here in germany every 350Z came with gold brembo brakes.

R33 calipers also use a larger rotor.

yeah I have huge slotted and cryo treated rotors...I just need to be sure about the pads
