R33 gtr brembos are direct bolt on to z32. IF r33 gtr brembos are bolt on to r33, then in theory the z32 caliper 'dogbone' adapters will fit r33 and enable 324mm rotors with stock calipers.

Early ones were alum, later ones iron.

Regardless, it's a simple and cheap mod for 324mm rotors, assuming the r33gtr calipers are bolt on to 33gtst as I said in my first post.

So why'd you get them??

If you actually do go to the track just make sure you put in some good fluid and it will be fine..it will take you a year of track days before you kill the brakes at least and that's if your a hack or very fast, they should last much longer if you drive clean

I'm not sure what the specific concern is about ADR approved brakes lines when the calipers, pads and discs, or how they work as part of a system, are also not ADR approved?

I think it is because it is easy to build a caliper that actually works without breaking open and leaking your fluid out while you're trying to stop. But there was a time when the first braided lines were being tried by people when there were inferior ways of swaging the ends on and so on that led to them failing. The ADR regs for how brake lines were to be constructed (or the tests they had to pass at least) already existed, so they just made it a requirement that any aftermarket ones had to be ADR approved. Not that the requirement wasn't already there in effect anyway, but at least if you require that they have a specific approval number granted by the regulatory body, you have an effecttive filter to stop the carppy ones being used.

Sure, there may be good ones available that don't have approval, and it sucks to be them. But they could always get them approved and start selling in competition to those that already are approved. But, to recoup the cost of getting them approved they'd probably come out at the same price anyway, so you wouldn't have the situation like those cheapies on the eBay link being as cheap as they are.

Thought Ill give them a shot, im not going to be doing alot of track work, mainly just deca, haunted hills type stuff so I think these will be fine.

Definently will put good fluid in, will also do brake stopper and braided lines.

I personally wouldn't trust any brake line from overseas or that isn't adr approved, I guess if its adr approved theres less chance of a failure. I've seen a few jap branded braided lines burst but never a Hel one.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
