Hey guys. Z brake or skyline front upgrade brake are very popular now but PLZ PLZ do some more reserach byyourself before buy those cuz I have seen many maaaaaany BAD SELLER(I will call bad seller,not sure they are scammer) on ebay, Zilvia,Nico and other 240sx forum etc. 300zx 30mm or skyline calipers are very popular now so those bad seller sell 300zx 26mm calipers as 30mm calipers or sell just Z32 brake as Skyline big brake. I'm sick of it to see those ad. If you are NOT sure, plz ask someone. Don't waste your money

I will post some info and I hope midatlantic240sx members don't make same mistake. I personally know many victims.

Thanks for checling.
**************************************************

here is some info(tip):

1)300zx(Z32) 3 types of Z front calipers
-Aluminum 30mm calipers(Rotor size:280mm x30mm)
-Aluminum 26mm calipers(Rotor size:280mm x26mm)
-Iron 30mm calipers(Rotor size:280mm x30mm)

**Iron and aluminum calipers are not same appearence so it's easy to tell from pics but problem is aluminum 26mm and 30mm calipers. Appearence(size) of 30mm and 26mm Z32 Aluminum caliper are exact same so it's hard to tell by only pics. You MUST check caliper thread. If you measure size of caliper thread, it's easy to tell 26mm or 30mm caliper. Of course, if you buy 26mm Z32 aluminum calipers, 280mmx30mm rotor doesn't fit**

2) Skyline R32gts(RB20)
-Aluminum calipers(Rotor size:280mm x30mm)
-Aluminum calipers(Rotor size:280mm x26mm)
-These are exactly same brake as USA 300zx(Z32)

3) Skyline R32 GTR(RB26)
-Aluminum calipers(Rotor size:296mm x32mm)

3)Skyline R33gts(RB25)
-Aluminum calipers(Rotor size:297mm x30mm)

4)Skyline R33GTR(RB26),R34GTR(RB26)
-Brembo calipers(Rotor size:324mm x 30mm)

**R32 GTR and R33gts calipers are diff shape so when you compare with 300zx(Z32) aluminum calipers. it's east to tell**

I personally have(had) Q45 brake,180sx/Silvia brake, JDMS14 Silvia brake,300zx(z32) 26mm,30mm brake,Skyline R32gts brake,R33 gts brake,R33 GTR brake so I can also help.
