Looks like a Chaser etc.
R33 calipers with BA Falcon rotors is usually the way to go.

we just use him as our gimp.
as an added bonus, he throws out new & weird ideas for a conversion and goes through hell to make it easier for the rest of us (how's that v160 plan coming?)

Yup, you're missing something.
Draven: screw you hippy. 
The V161 is sitting on my garage floor, looking very large and heavy.

Needs to be custom fabricated I'm afraid. Pretty easy job for any machinist though.
JCMF: almost exactly the same now you mention it.

Just a quick question... is there a difference between r33 and r32 callipers? Pistons and pad area are the same?

Bah, yes there is a difference, if you followed norbies link I'm pretty sure he mentions it there, with pics.
The mounting 'legs'on the R33 are longer.

What he said; it's all on my site (sometimes I wonder why I bother). You need R33 calipers, the R32 ones won't work.

Do we even know what type of cressida teejay is asking about a brake upgrade for?
Cruzzida's kit uses R32 calipers and R32 or R33 discs.

Just for the record I did scim over Norbie's site before posting and have read in thoroughly before, but could not find a mention of R32 calipers or if they were different.
It's just that I found a pair that were really cheap. I've now found some r33s so I'll go with them.
