I'm thinking of upgrading the brakes on my 320, anyone know if r33 skyline gts-t brakes will fit? I think it's doable?

I can't find the specs for the disks unfortunetly

I can only find the specs for the 2.6GTR from january 97 and they have a 59mm offset

You'd need a 20mm spacer between the hub and disk to let them clear the track rod end

If you can get me the distance from the inside face of the disk to where it contacts the wheel hub, i'll be in a better position to advise

Simply from a performance pespective there is nothing wrong with the standard ones if you run decent fluid, braded lines and good pads. i.e. PAGID RS29 or similar.

I've got drums on at the moment, so not great lol.

Unfortunately the skyline brakes I could have got might have already gone. But I'll try and find out the spec.

What would be a nice alternative upgrade?

I'd be more worried about getting a 320i to go than to stop...

Rear discs are your 1st port of call
Got cable ties? Get diffin..

change your rear axle for a disc set up from a touring or 325 etc then fit uprated parts.
