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 dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
