It is NOT an option, you will NEED to fit it. You can use the S13 ones if you want to just trim the outer edge of it out fo the way, or use the GTR ones for neatness
    Maybe an idea to fit a 300ZX master Cylinder at the same time to give a better pedal pressure too

    Thats about it mate
    picking rear gtr calipers tomorrow , can the existing rear hoses be used or is to too far to fit correctly

    not going to fit the gtr master cylinder yet

    fitting ds2500 pads in the r34 fronts what pads would be best to use in the rears?

    If there was a choice, what parts would be best to use for a R34 or 350Z rear setup? R33 - R34, Z32 or S13, or does it not really matter??

    Erm.....I think you'll find the rear caliper on a 350z/R33/R34 is a two pot caliper!

    Are the twin-pot calipers all aluminium?

    R33 handbrake cables can be ordered from the likes of Andrew Page or other motor factors that deal with Blue Print parts.

    The left and right cables have the following Blue print part numbers

    ADN 146251
    ADN 146252

    I have just ordered them and they came to just under £40 for the pair.
    Better than paying nissan £120.

    Not managed to find a aftermarket suppier of R33/300zx TT mastercylinders yet tho

    Gutted!!!! Apparently Blue print no longer produce these! So it looks like Nissan may be the only option. My parts supplier spoke directly to Blue print ADL directly, who said The demand isnt enough to run up another batch. If only we could get a group buy together and get them to make up another batch. ANyone know if Apex stock these off the top of their heads? Might be a good idea if they did?

    FYI JP had a set of Z33 rears fitted over the weekend. Welding and drilling the caliper is the way to go. Fairly easy.

    Heres a pic of it modified. I know the colour is off but when put back together it looks fine. BTW the caliper has to be split and the seals etc removed from the rear half.

    Okay.. Thinking about doing a z32 rear conversion on the s14. But does it act matter which rear brakes you use? Ie iron or either alu?
    I got the subframe off, it's getting blasted and coated in the coming weeks. New arms getting ordered so want to do the brakes.
    So when I split the knuckle from the hub, leave it split until I get the brakes and the dust cover maginbob? Still no real step by step instruction.. Just confused as we are talking about r33/4, s13 and z32..

    There is no steel rear brake except the s13 ones. The other ones (all twin pots) are all alu.

    There is a guide some where.

    I don't think 350Z align up. From what I have read anyway!
    It was mentioned in this thread somewhere

    Z33 don't fit unless you mod them. You need to weld up one of the holes and red rill it to suit. Check out the photo on post 73. The last post from 6 years ago.

    How we did it was we used a spare upright and put in the z33 disc, the bolted on one bolt from the z33 calliper. Lined up the calliper and marked where the new hole was needed.
