r33 skyline calipers same as s15?

at my work we had an S15 half cut come in today. I asked about the calipers for an r33 and my workmate told me the s15 was the same he thought?
Someone confirm this so i can buy them?
Can i use the discs as well or is the offset all screwed up?

Aren't the S15 calipers cast and the R33 ones alloy?

They definetly came off an S15? The R32 calipers and early Z32 300ZX calipers are the same. The R33 ones are longer on their mounts to cater for the larger diameter disc.
The bolt spacing for them is the same, as is the height of the rotors, this is the reason most Nissan stuff can be swapped over.

Perhaps it must be a Jap-spec thing. They must be like the R32 Skyline/Z32 300ZX alloy ones then.
They are definetly not the same as the R33 ones though.

A bloke at work has an Aus-spec S15 and it definitely has cast iron calipers. Dunno about JDM S15's though.

From my reserach and understanding, the pads are the same for R32/R33/Z32/WRX and S15.
I thought that the local S15's were cast iron as well (same as subies and some of the late 300Zx ones).
