Hi Guys,

 

I am going to buy some Skyline R33 brakes on Sat!

 

People on this forum will know my Lack of Knowledge concerning all things Z related and I would like to ask a couple of questions!

 

How do I know they are the real thing, is there anyway I can identify they are R33 calipers and discs,and that they are the right ones to fit a Z, although I must admit the guy does seem pretty genuine?

 

What should I be looking for to ascertain whether they are warped, calipers seized and how would I know that?

 

I am right in thinking that it is the R33 brakes that bolt straight onto the Z32?

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Mark

If anybody could help me out with info I would be grateful as I am going to have a look at them Saturday.

 

Regards,

 

Mark

Hi Mark,yes they will bolt srtaight on a Z,as for buying secondhand discs IMHO I would not,all you can do is look for any wear marks in them,but you can't tell if they are warped just by looking .

 

 

 

------------------

The calipers are black with the words Brembo on the side.

 

The discs should be a maximum of 32 mm thick, the minimum thickness for a skyline disc is 28mm. So take a long a vernier and measure them, anything less than 30mm and it is not worth purchasing.

Who are you buying them from?

 

Heres some pics I found in "rides":

 

See if you can blag a ride in the guys Skyline I think its over 600bhp

Later,

Hi All,

 

Thanks for the help, I am getting them from a guy on the Skyline forum as Trev has sussed out!

I will certainly try and blag a ride in his skyline if he will be so kind. And take a spare pair of undercrackers with me!

 

all the best,
