350z And Gtr Brembo Calipers

[Scooby]

anyone know for sure?

cheers

[Duncan]

interested....I understand they are the same and have a set of gtr calipers to go on my 350z just never got around to it....if the 32 gtr calipers fit so do the brembos.

Anyone done it?

[Ronin 09]

I'm pretty sure the rears are the same - I'm using a 350z 322mm rotor and a spacer bracket to fit an R33 GTR brembo to my 32GTR...

[Ronin 09]

however going by this table, front offset could be different...?

[Duncan]

yes, but if so you need just the caliper and disc right? ie still a bolt on?

[Ronin 09]

sorry duncan, haven't looked at the lug set-up on a 350z...

one would *assume* they're the same

but as they say, assumptions are the mother of all fcukups...

[sewid]

They are not identical mountings so i dont think they would bolt straight on but could be fitted somehow im sure. I've seen a set side by side a while ago but can't remember exactly why they were different.

[Scooby]

Anyone here have a 350Z and access to GTR brakes so they could try? Would better if the Z was a convertible...

C'mon Duncan do it for the cause...isn't it raining in Sydney anyway?

The 350Z disc cannot be used on the Skyline because of the different hat heights, the 324mm Skyline disc must be used and I understand that the two calipers use different size mounting bolts.

So assuming these are the only differences (to the best of my knowledge) then fitting 350Z calipers would not be an insurmountable task (in conjunction with the GTR33/34 disc) but unless you could pick up the 350 calipers at a bargain price I would suggest using the GTR calipers and saving yourself the hassle

[T04GTR]

the 350z/ v35 skyline ones use a m14 bolt to mount them where as 33/34 gtr uses a m12.

and ther offset of the skyline ones is off by about 3-4mm.

i tried fitting 33/34 brembos on a v35 and the bolts went big enough and the caliper rubbed on the outer face of the disc :

hope that helps.

ps... you can bolt them up but youd need the matching discs with the calipers.

Thanks guys, thats helpful. I'm interested because a company in the US called RacingBrake has released a 6 pot caliper/adapter/disc/pad set for the 350Z/G35 that's about AUD 2500.

Being the US they don't have access to GTRs like we do so I thought I'd see if anyone knew if they were compatible.

I think this all got answered, but like t04 said the only difference is the thread on the bolts. Just match calipers to discs and it should be fine. I just never got around to getting bolts the right length

[PM-R33]

Bit of an old thread bump.

Just want to confirm what I am reading.

If you got a complete front aftermarket brake kit with calipers, rotors and brackets made for the G35/350Z, it would bolt onto a R32/R33 Skyline if you had the brackets have M14 holes on one end for the caliper and M12 holes on the other end to bolt onto the hub correct?

[luke gtr]

hmmm, interesting.

looking for the same answers for the same reasons...

so, to sumerise, get a complete kit, and it should fit..

is that it?

might have to take the plunge, and try for myself.

if i do, will put up a write up.

Yeah that's right, if you don't have an R34 then you'll need to drill out your knuckles to 14mm

Im running r34 brembos on the front of my Stagea which is the same as a v35/350z in the brake department. The offset may be different but other than that they are the same calliper. Just make sure you get the disks from the model the callipers are from.

I have a spare front seal kit for these these brembos if anyone needs one.

Can you please post brembo P/N printed on the dust boots? Should read 20.4872.xx

Yep, they are 20 4872 45 and 20 4872 48. Its a Nissan rebuild kit.

How similar are the Brembo brakes that came on 350Z's and R33 / R34's?

In the front they both run DB1520 pads and the rears run DB1521 - so if the pads are the same they they must be very similar.

The difference seems to be in the disk offset as shown in the attached link http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=41147

So the big question is:

Are the seal kits interchangeable as you can buy factory kits for 350Z's from the US for a very good price?

[scotty nm35]

They all run the same seals.
