I'm doing R33 this weekend.

You'll want the 5 stud hubs, the rotors, the calipers and the brackets for the calipers to mount onto.

They'll all fit into your C33 knuckles, then you dont have to worry about re-drilling anything for coilovers.

As far as I know A31 and C33 turbo models use S13 SR20DET brakes, so the banjo bolt on the calipers is smaller than the R33 calipers, so you'll probably need to take the brake lines as well, I'm pretty sure the R33 brake lines are longer, so it shouldn't have any problems reaching.

Im chucking those 33s on today, they're definitely a better package.

The rotors are bigger, thicker and ventilated at the rear's as well.

The calipers are big, two piece and don't need a bracket like the S13 / A31, they just bolt straight onto the knuckle.

Front calipers are 4 piston, the rears are 2 piston, so they'll definitely go better. If you want MORE stopping power, get some of those 12 piston brakes of the of top of the line McLaren's :D

I think these things will have no drama's slowing even an RB25/26 Ceffy, considering how much lighter they are to the R3x Skylines.

As long as you aren't planing to use the hubs from the C35 on the front of your A31.

Why not?

EDIT: I used the complete front spindles from a C35 with my S14 calipers and rotors. They fitted with a little bashing of the dust shields and slightly shortened bolts that bolt the caliper to the knuckle.

Not sure if the C35 hub can be pressed on to the stock S13/A31 knuckle.

The front hubs from a skyline won't fit.

If you want 5 stud, you'll need to use S14/15 front hubs.

Alternatively, you can just have the rotors redrilled to 4 stud. I chose this path when I put R33 brakes on.

just jap have 5 stud conversion hubs for s13/c33/a31 knuckles which make life a little easier btw :dry:

Well i'm still no good at "car related" terms in English, but after googleing the names of the items u referred i think i'd try to explain what's comming ^_^ Conversion is going to be done by a "service", so as the ordering parts was done by them. I think it will be new knuckle, spindles, hubs and breaks of course =) So its more like a "complete set" of c35. Will see, should be here around next week i belive, will post up info once its here and done if you'r interested.

Sorry, for some reason I was thinking C35 would have double wishbone suspension, but now I remember my mate telling me he put S14 coilovers in his C35...

The hubs can't be swapped onto the spindles unfortunately as they are different diameter.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
