i currently have z32 26mm brakes and was wondering if the z33 brembos were bolt on just like the z32's?
will the same brake line work?
do i just replace the caliper and rotors again?
any info would be greatly appreciated
thanks

For z33 brembos you need to drill out your spindle brake bolt holes larger for the larger bolts that the brembos used. Pretty simple.

Z32 uses 12mm bolts, Z33 uses 14mm. Use a 9/16" drill bit and you're good.

with a lil work they should only thing i seen different between the two was the r32 uses a thicker rotor i believe id just get the z32 30mm save some time and easyer to get pads and rotors if you need one today

Not to be a jerk, but could you at least go back to high school and learn how to use punctuation? Reading your posts is like trying to decipher hieroglyphics written by a retarded kid.
