no, Z32 and R32 GTST are the same but R33 are different.

Z32 and R32 calipers are the same, R33 calipers are slightly different with regards to mounting points.

[oldcorollas]

and 300zx calipers have two widths of disc.....but them and R32 non-gtr are 280mm
R33 is 296...

[richzx]

Cheers thanks for that

I've got a link at home that details the differences. basicaly all the calipers are teh same but the length of the legs and the width of the grooves that the disc goes through are different.

BEWARE not all r32 calipers are the same. I'll post the link when I get home if I remember. If not PM me to remind me!

and then there's the problem of some being cast iron and some being alloy, and some having the fins that run along the top and some that don't etc.
a search on here will reveal the dimensions of the alloy 300zx/r32 caliper and obviously pictures to show what they look like as well as the r33 caliper and apprropriate dimensions/pics

a further search will reveal the differences between r32 gtr and and non gtr brakes and a picture of both

a search abroad (www) will reveal pictures and general dimensions of the various differences of the 300zx caliper, (cast iron and 30 mm rotor, alloy and 30mm rotor, and finally alloy and 26mm rotor).

if you still struggle i will use my ability to use the search button to find it for you (been down that path before so shouldn't be too hard to get my old grey matter electrifying itself again )

in saying all this r32 information seems to be the least difinitive with conflicting reports.

Skyline is alloy (never seen a cast iron skyline 4 spot)
S14 Silvia are cast iron (not sure about S15 though)

are ya sure? all the R33 calipers i have seen have been smooth surfaced alloy. they only weigh about 100grams more than the R32 ribbed alloy calipers.

[CrUZida]

Every R33 caliper I've ever seen has been alloy...

[CrUZida]

R33 on the left, R32/Z32 on the right (with Nissan removed)

[IN 05 NT]

as you can see, the r33 calipesr are smooth all over, z32/r32 have RIBS/lines all over...

[RONA]

yeah, R33 are iron, at least, the ones i saw on the weekend were.

the ones sitting behind me off a r33 GTST definately aren't
