Hi guys,

I dont know if anyone has seen it but in the current issue of Zoom mag they have a tech issue on how to fit JZA80 rotors and R32 GTS calipers to an A70.

They mount the rotors and calipers with a kit shown in the mag. The thing I want to know is: if you can fit R32 GTS calipers could you fit R32 GTS-T, R33 GTS-t or R32 GTR calipers as they are bigger?

In the magazine the pads/calipers dont use the full surface of the rotor (even tho 100% of their contact face is on the rotor) because they are too small. I was wondering if you used the bigger skyline brakes with the same kit would they

A)Fit using this kit and rotor set up
B)Use more of the face of the rotor
C)Provide superior braking perfomance

Thanks heaps


methinks the bext thing to do is to contact the aforementioned (missing) suppliers and ask their opinion, ie the only one that legally counts. and of course everything in Zoom is true, they never have bodgy products/ideas (unless they are paid for advertising Wink )

Quote:

the mag just said GTS calipers, they obviously meant GTS-T.
case in point... Rolling Eyes

of course you realise that all you needed to do was find out if GTR calipers are a bolt-on for GTS/GTS-T SKYLINE(or whatever) caliper brackets. ie find out about skylines......

maybe you could ask on a nissan forum perhaps, since they should know this shit back to front?

ooh looky..
