1996 GTS-T Skyline brakes on 5 lug Kouki? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I was wondering if the front or rear brakes, or any part of that matter would bolt on directly to a 5 lug Kouki.

I currently have 300zx brake calipers so i was wondering if anyone know if the lines would fit on to the GTS-T calipers, and if 300zx rotors would fit the brakes.

are your calipers leaking or something?

GTST are bolt up. but honestly its not worth it. you get a few more MM of rotor but skyline rotors are pretty damn expensive.

I bought a set in a rush and ended up selling them for Z32 set because of the rediculous price of new rotors.

if you NEED something better than Z32s i would just save up and get some big brakes kit.

+1 on the non-improvement. Properly setup Z32s are soooo close to the entry level BBKs, and soooo cheap. Drilled or slotted rotors and good pad choice FTW.

I run Z32 callipers F&R with Ford Cobra rotors up front and Z32 rotor in the rear.
I also bumped up to the Z32 Turbo BMC, and i track my car 100% of the time. Happy as a hound dog without fleas. We did have to CAD the brackets and rotor
centering rings, but that wasn't expensive. I have no plans to move up to anything larger than that.

GTS-t brakes are the exact same as Z32 30mm. It's the GTR rotors that are slightly larger in the front.

Will they work, yes, are they an upgrade, not for you.

The rear R33GTS-T rear spindles bolt right up. Find the lines attached for instant gratification.

*As long as it's not a HICAS model, but I believe they were denounced as GTS4 or something silly like that.

I remember talking to Russ about this.

The Hicas model just needs the ball joint to be replaced with the correct Toe Arm bushing via [email protected]

i have them on my car, got them from the front clip.
i had the rotors resurfaced and they work great. not sure how they compare to Z32 though, but you probably cant tell the difference. Lines fit the brakes, as for the rotors, some people say it fits some say it doesnt. Someone told me that they used z32 rotors and the GTS-T calipers and they lost a few mm of pad contact, as in the pad was too far from the center. Maybe the calipers are spaced a bit farther out to accomodate for the larger rotors. Pads are the same so that is the only explaination. Hope that helps
