Brake upgrade

I know the r33 brake calipers are a good upgrade as well as ford ba rotors just wondering does the rotors fit on perfect or do u need some special ring or something

google.

You need 11mm spacers, longer bolts, and centering rings for the rotors.
I used to sell the kits, and I know I still have the bolts & spacers.
I will have to look to see if I still have the rings.

You can also use the R32 GT-R calipers, and rotors, with the same adaptor kit.
They are 296mm diameter, where the Z32 are 280mm.
The mount legs on the GT-R calipers are just a little longer.
And Nissan Motorsports used to sell the rotors, the calipers would have to come out of Japan.



A third option is the Z32 calipers, with off the shelf adaptors to use the 350Z 'Track' rotors.
But you still need to space the calipers over with 11mm spacers, since the adaptors are ment for the 240SX guys.



I've moved up to 330mm fronts now, using Z32 calipers, with custom adaptors.
Just a tad larger then the 350Z Track rotors, but with Wilwood rotors that weigh half of the Nissan rotors.

I did my R32 Front upgrade with Mazda MPV Sloted and drilled rotors. which are a lot cheaper then the Nissan rotors.

MX83--Z32 280x30 caliper --MPV rotor RDA960 or DBA960 rotor size=276d x64h x28t/ Landcrusier pads DB1199 (Centric ring=yes) (3mm caliper spacer)

I used EBC brake pads from Range rover. they cover more surface. and there is no need for an caliper adapter. You can use 2 washers. I made a plate instead of using the 2 washers. and it also needs centric rings.

Here are some pictures:









The Spacers i made keep the calipers centered properly to the rotors.
Here's the spacers and centric rings I made for it:

does anyone know if the spacer and ring blue prints on the jzxproject forum posted above will work for the r33 callipers and ba rotors

if your upgrading the rear callipers do they need the same treatment

Rears are more difficult.
I bought one of the kits from Japan.
To use the R32/Z32 rear calipers, you need more than just spacers for the calipers, but an actual adaptor.
And the Japanese kit is for 305mm rotors from a JZX100 Toure-V.
There is no US interchange.





And when talking about Skyline front calipers, beware which ones you have, as the GT-S have the same spacing as the Z32, but the GT-R has longer legs to use with larger disks.

ok so where can i find this kit
so i asked earlier if that blue print in the jzxproject forum will work for the r33 callipers and BA rotors or any of the spacers n rings above?

Where are you at ?

In Australia

Well then you need to talk to people down there.
We don't have Falcons, or anything designated 'BA'.
So what we use to put Z32 rotors, or even R32 rotors on our cars, probably won't be the same as what you will need for 'BA' rotors.

When I do mine, I either use Z32 or R32 GT-R rotors.

Contact Andrew at Tecnico, he makes all that stuff I think.
His e-mail is andrewsee (at) live.com.au

I use r33 gtst calipers and ba falcon 300 mm rotors all perfect bolt on with no adaptors just need a hubcap trip ring made up and your good to go.
I bought brand new ba falcon rotors from da at a good price on ebay. Andrew can make you the rings for stuff all

Yes said hub ring from andrew from his site is all you need for the ba falcon r33 upgrade
