set of Nissan R33 skyline GTST/GTT Sumitomo brake calipers and slotted DBA 290mm rotors, as well as adapter plates and newly machined 324 mm rotors to suit a Skyline, Stagea or S14/15, I purchased the adapter plates and 324mm rotors 2nd hand along with a full set of new pads to suit and was going to fit them to my car but were too small to fit behind my rims to allow clearance of the spokes, so the entire braking system was changed out.

these Sumitomo calipers and 296mm rotors are usually installed as an upgrade on a Stagea which is what they were fitted to when I bought it, so if you were to combine the calipers adapter plates and the big rotors it'll be streets ahead compared to stock.

the adapter plates and pair of rotors by themselves new is around $600, so am thinking $620 for the entire box of stuff is cheap, will also chuck in the standard nissan rear stagea rotors and calipers if they are wanted for and extra $50, enough to cover the cost of the brand new bendix pads in them.

not interested in swaps in general, and definitely not interested in lowball offers.

can freight at buyers cost if required, but pick up preferred

What vehicle do these calipers come from?

I'm led to believe that they are from an R33 GTR, and or an R34 GTT, I had them on a series 2 stagea

33R had brembos so likely 34GT-T

What size wheels did you have that they wouldn't clear? Would 18s make it do you think?

I had them inside 18" rims with the 324mm rotors fitted, but when I bought a new set of rims in a different brand they fouled on the inside shoulder of the calipers against the back of the spoke, and because I'm stubborn and wanted that rim I changed complete brake system to be able to use that wheel. 

So most Japanese spec wheels in 17" and over should fit over them

They won't be R34 GT-T calipers.  Those suit a 310mm rotor.  They have longer legs than the R33 calipers.  I haven't seen a caliper adapter that will space those out to only 324mm.  The adapters shown look like all the usual ones that are used to put the R33 (296mm rotor) calipers onto 324mm rotors.

And following from that, the 290mm rotors listed above would have to 296mm rotors, as there are no 290mm rotors for Skylines.

ok fair enough,thanks for clarifying that for me.

I am unsure as to which model they came off as they were on the stagea when I bought it, so I was only going off what I have been told from others.

 I'll work out how to edit the ad to reflect that they are 296mm rotors as soon as I can, but i am having trouble finding where to edit the first post, any help appreciated????

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
