HI, we a running r33gtr hubs on our s14, does anyone know if these will fit on the r33 hubs

[maverickmotorsports]

Yes it will. The hubs only have bigger INNER splines. All of the outer dimensions that bolt up to the upright/bracket are the same as other nissans(s13, s14, s15, z32, etc)

Ooops, i also forgot to ask do we need to use the mustang rotors or can we retain our r33 rotors as we have just fitted new ones!

Is there actually a brake line kit out there for this set up? I know there are plenty of them out for the in-line type stuff, but haven't had any luck on finding one for the dual caliper set up. I have PBM with the willwood master cylinder.

[haggard240]

Subscribed for future purchase lol

[crewchief05]

I am just about ready to purchase the bracket. Before I get the last piece let me make sure I have everything.

2X z32 rear calipers
stock s14 rear uprights
suggested mustang rotors

These are the parts I currently have. I have 4 questions that i felt were not really awnsered clearly (IMO don't take offense).

1) can i still use z32 e brake? (Is the parking brake still functional? or is this a parking brake delete?)
2) can i use stock s14 rear uprights? (i have z32 uprights as well but would rather not use them) this was asked but kind of unclear.
3) is shaving of the s14 rear upright required?
4 Is shaving of the z32 rear upright requires?

[DJ 21o3]

subscribed as I am piecing my stuff together starting Monday.

[DJ 21o3]

One question: someone said else where that 300zx calipers are 2 sizes: 30mm and 26mm? Yet the 2000 Mustang SVT Cobra R rotors are .717" or 18mm. lol Am I looking at the wrong rotors or is this correct? And if so, I am assuming the 26mm calipers are the correct choice?

[rb25 run]

its awesome george well done

Responding to your PM

1) Cable type ebrake is eliminated with this
2) idk for sure but I don't think there will be a problem as the 240 guys and the Z guys are running these
3) No.... proof = im running the Z32 upright
4) Yes you must shave the upright slightly for the bolts to complete go in. but nothing to crazy.

in response to this question "was it worth it?" honestly in a nut shell
No it wasn't worth it. For me at least it really wasn't and here is why.....

1)When My Stock Z32 cable type ebrake worked, it worked perfectly, so good I could like up the rears at 80+ of the freeway like butter. The only reason I made the switch was because after 3 years of hard abuse one of my cables got stretched and one wheel would not lock anymore. So enstead of replacing the $50 cable I sent $500ish on a hydro setup.

2) the hydro requires about 2.5x the leverage (longer handle) than the stock ebrake lever. This means putting a long dildo shaped handle in your car replacing one that fits nice and snug in it own place.

3) To get the system to work properly I needed $80+ high cold friction Carbonetic pads where the stock shoes works awesome

4) probably my biggest peeve about the system is its not as responsive as the cable set up with cable u pulled and u could feel exactly where its gonna lock the hydro doesn't feel responsive in the same way.

time to leave work but imo the dual caliper hydo offer a lot of bragging rights but has something missing from the stock cable type set up.

[crewchief05]

thats what i have been told as well. i am running brembo gt brakes up front and z32 in the rear and will be running z32 e brake set-up. I was going to go this route but having to rop 6-700 bucks for the same or worse functional aspect doesn't seem to be the direction i take. I was ready to hop on this a week ago though. and if i had the money to throw at it i probably would for the bragging rights and style.

Just take what I say with a grain of salt because I'm only one person with one experience. I will say this the dual calier bracket is an awesome bolt on hassle free option for going the dual caliper route. It could be my setup isn't as fully optimized as it could be. Ie I'm still running a 3/4"bore Master cylinder that came on a ebay Ksport hydro ebrake. I haven't switched to the willwood MC since its not leaking and still works. Maybe my set up and could still be improved to get better response. Idk...

There is one thing that will never get about the facination with a hydro setup is if its so much better why is a longer lever always required? ie more leverage... Someone needs to comeup with a different kind of master cylinder.

Those sizes are for the front calipers. You need the rear Z32 calipers. There is only one size for those.

Sorry to hear about that. Most people actually say that a hydro is infinitely more responsive and faster at locking up. It's been used in FD, D1, and just about all other pro series in the world. Everyone loves the quick response and high lock up. Even with super high rear grip tire setups that most drift cars are running now.

I'd look at your system again if you're having issues. Others have had very good success with just the cheapest pads at any auto parts store. Something must be missing in your system. Possibly not bled enough or correctly. PM me and we can work through the issue.

Does anyone have a detailed pic or w.e. on what needs to be shaved on the Z32 uprights?

Here are some I dug up

[maverickmotorsports]

Thanks for the pictures nick!

Yeah, the Z32 upright is way thicker casting than the steel s-chassis ones.

But the brackets definitely work on either.

[rb25 run]

really nice foto

[crewchief05]

you are not the only story i have read about. I agree that the bracket is an amazing purchase and is a great way to get dual calipers. My worry is the hydro systems themselves. Those are what i have heard horror stories about. I dont mind the long handle in the cabin. but the fact that i hear its 10x the effort to pull while sliding kinda pushes me the other way.

Well that was a brain fart on my part! lol Been cramming info about this brake swap and setup and totally overlooked that part.

As far as the Hydraulic handbrake issues, I feel it is something with how people set them up. Some people seem to love theirs, while others hate it. Formula D and Rally-X guys seem to LOVE theirs so I believe it is all in the setup.

So is it just those 2 tabs that get chopped off? Thanks for the pics btw!

[beantwn240]

new to the forums and looking to get setup with the dual calipers in the rear. just to confirm the 90 300zx n/a rear calipers will work with this setup? from what i read on the n/a their calipers are 26mm rather than 30mm

[rb25 run]

hi bude if you read this thread from the start you see...

[beantwn240]

Thanks rb25 run. I read threw it after I posted it... Didn't realize the answer is on the same page I posted... My bad
