That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard considering R33 brakes are worth considerably more than standard issue Z32 brakes.

Yeah it might not be as easy to get R33 brake parts at the local Napa, but it's not impossible to get pads or rotors for them. Numerous places online sell pads and rotors, and will ship it right to your door.

How about you & the other guy go be dumb somewhere else.

R33/34 calipers use the EXACT same pads & supporting hardware as R32/Z32, & R32 GT-R (non-V-Spec); so I'd say aside from the calipers & rotors themselves, stuff is pretty easy to find. Also, considering OP is in NORWAY, there are very likely to be differences in what's readily available there than here.

-----------------------------------------------

MeSs- Rotors compatible with R33 calipers are easy to get- R32 GT-R rotors work perfectly- that's what I use.

HOWEVER, R34 calipers have taller mounting points than R33 (hence, the larger rotor)... Here is a pic of the clearances between the R33 caliper & 296mm x 32mm rotor:



^^Pretty sure a 310mm rotor would not clear that.

HOWEVER, you are in luck- because judging by this pic of my R33 calipers (note the shorter mouting points):



I'd say your calipers are R34, so 310mm rotors should work just fine.
