Hey guys has anyone done a r33,z32 caliper upgrade to there vn /vp commodore v8 and what rotors do i need and adaptors etc...? I can get 2x front calipers for $300.00
spoke to a guy with another vnss and he has run this setup
$250 for the callipers (4spot) Second hand
Think the adapter brackets/screws etc were about $200
Pair Of EBC red stuff pads $250
Hub adapters (to adapt VT discs only 296mm) $250
VT discs, slotted were about $120ish each
and braided lines were another $100,
I am looking at doing the r33 upgrade, a vt twin piston upgrade or ve 4 spot hsv slotted style.
Cheers and any pics or info would be appreciated.
Currenty have a 1" new master cylinder and billet bracket + 19" wheels .

i ahve seen nissan calipers used on stock rotors. you'd be better of with the bigger 296mm VT rotors but then you need hubs to suit. what ever rotor you use you need to get mounting brackets to suit the calipers made. if oyur real keen then get some 330mm rotors and fill out those big wheels a bit better

lol **** bro thats about $1000. where you get your pcrices from ? just jump on ebay and buy a conversion kit for 400-500. Doing the r33 upgrade isnt a bolt on process. You have to cut, weld and make your own brackets and numerous other things.
matt i know its not bolt on hence why i am asking for info,prices are from a friend,just want to make the right decision.
