Oh my god.......

OK so it looks like I may have a spare pair of R33 GTSt front calipers and rotors... So what's the consensus? Is this do-able?

 

[Macca]

maybe take one of your wheels off when you have a spare second and and see if it lines up. Im definetly interested in knowing.

 

[unclepaulie]

could be done, but you would need to machine some brackets shaped like this (for a prefacelift i mean, as the spacing between mounts is 130mm and sumitomo's are 100mm)

though i dont know how strong theyd be and obviously the drawing is rough one more presentantion purposes only

Will discuss with my mate who works at Mr Brakes when I get back from my holiday...

this company makes a bolt on bracket for the prefacelift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to suit a r33 or jza80 caliper

So the skyline brakes are 100mm and the FL brackets are 160mm so they still wouldn't just bolt up you would need another bracket made, is that right?

correcto

 

[Macca]

So why would it be any easier to fit these to a FL than a Pre FL?

 

[unclepaulie]

caliper spacing:

R33 = 100mm
PFL = 130mm
FL = 160mm

not enough meat on the bracket, but some crazy japs have solved it here

Tried that, didn't work for me. I was expecting it to load something with pictures but when I selected it nothing happened.

thanks Joel, it works for my mozilla, oh well its up now,

this kit would go nicely with the Tom's TT supra calipers for sales on ebay.com

 

[ygoslo]

AWESOME find. Thanks!!!!

 

[Macca]

$600 is a bit steep, looks like theres only brackets for the front.
