Cobra rotos for S14 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey Guys, I have recently upgraded to R33 GST Calipers and I also have the z33 track rotor bracket. The problem is that the brake pad is hanging over the rotor about an inch and I have come to the conclusion that I need to make more custom brackets, or get bigger rotors. I also think that R33 spindles might work as well, but I’m not sure? Any way I’m looking for some answers on how I can mount them I understand that I need some type of hub ring adaptor. I also know that the Maxima rotors would bring me closer at 12.8 but I would love to get the entire pad on the rotor. Any help would be greatly appreciated thx!

If you have Z33 Track Rotors Brackets, why not Run Z33 rotors (or G rotors)

That would just be too easy now wouldn't it?

The adapter brackets are made for the common Z32/R32 calipers.
R33 calipers use larger rotors, which is why they overhang.

I even fail for not reading that correctly. Doh! THat'll change it everytime.

Sell it all and get a DefSport/Skullworks WilWood setup...better yet!

I have track rotors on their right now and their is some over hang (almost an inch), all I want to know is what rotor I can put on that will center the pad and use the entire thing? or am I just stuck with the overhang until I make a different bracket.

Yes I kno Im from FL.....SMH not my choice

And I Would love a WilWood set up but I got a good deal on these calipers so im going to make the best of it.
