No probs peeps.
To all those who want to do this brake conversion before you get new rims, the stock mx73 cressida rims fit perfectly over these brakes.
They *should* even fit over the 296mm ones.
I picked up my rims for $30 each from a wrecker (no tyres).

Jeez! I guess you've tried fitting standard 14" Supra wheels over them?

I never tried it, as I don't have one, but I can't see it fitting.
That said, if you get me one this weekend, I'll test fit it to make sure.

There is no way in hell a Supra one will fit. Even if it has more caliper clearance, it's not going to come close to fitting over the rotor

Yes Jag, QLD is fucked.
My GF works for AustPost. She reckon's you'll get something quicker to England from WA, than you will to QLD from WA.
However, leaving QLD is no problem, I got something in 2 days.
You'll prolly get yours next week.
And PanelVan, I can get single sets made up whenever, I just can't guarentee the $50 including postage price.
I think I'd need 5 sets or more to get that price.
If you want them now, I can get him to make a set up (I sold my last set the other day, I think), if not, I'll probably get another run done in a few weeks.

Josh is poor, and must wait a couple of weeks for the money.
I am selling his bits to Pannelvan Screema, and Josh will wait for the next round to be ready.

Since the only 4 stud spacer saver is the Silvia, I doubt it.
But teh Frankz0r has one, so we shall test it when I can be fucked.

none of this would be needed if converting to teh 5 studs that come with the z32/r33 brakes/rotors

It would depend on which hub was used to convert to 5 stud.

Just thought I'd post this up for anyone thats after some z32 calipers and discs. The rotors have apparently already been redrilled to 4 stud (silvia 4 x 114.3) so that will save any prospective buyers any hassles.

Norbie uses an MX83/JZX81 strut/coilover.
So he doesnt use a caliper spacer
Plus he uses MX83/JZX81 hubs, which may or may not have the same diametre, I can't remember.

nope, not yet, but im guessing it was a bitch.
look, ill get the set, and if i dont need it, well bad luck ey.
the z32 upgrade seems simple enough.. and norbies is alot of tooling about, especially with cambers and such.
ill get all the z32 stuff, and go from there.
i got quoted 330 for a pair of r33 calipers.. which seems alittle more than others ive seen here ($220)
any ideas?

$250-$300 is about the norm for a set of Z32/R32 calipers.
Some come with discs (used) but most people don't use them, instead just get new ones (slotted RDA or DBA)
$330 for R33 calipers is good, but I'm not sure if 15" rims will clear them.
I will PM you with the details on the spacers.

those are OM simmons, and if yopu have $2500 spare you can have your own set! (no, I'm not kidding, and no that doesn't include rubber)
$330 for R33 calipers is pretty much what you will pay. average is $350, best I ever saw was $300.

Not wanting to Hijack thread, Just if anyone is interested.
My friend has a set of R32 4 piston sumito calipers for sale with Greddy brake pads (at about 50%). $250.00
as far as a i know they are fairly close relative to the z32 calipers so might be useful to anyone doing this upgrade.
PM me or MSN/Email poombah_@hotmail.com if anyone is interested
