Regarding parts compatibility on a skyline and 300zx - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have a 1993 skyline gts that I am taking the brakes from for my 240sx and I am looking to order all new rotors, pads, and rear shoes. However every site i try to order from has nothing for skylines only 300zx's. I have been searching for the past 2 days and have found some info and write ups but nothing has helped me on the brakes side of things. So I have come to zilvia for some help hoping someone can tell me if the rotors, pads, and shoes work from a 300zx non turbo or 300zx turbo. Thank you guys very much!!

If its the R33 GTS-T, then you can use brake pads of Z32s (93 TTs is what I usually use for a reference). Rotors is where it gets iffy since R33 rotors are bigger than the Z32/R32 brakes. Theres not really any direct USDM rotor that fits the R33s. You can use the Q45 rotors but they're slightly thinner at 28mm vs 30mm.

guess I should have mentioned that its an r32 not the r33 which is all the info you seem to find.
