I have some red R33 calipers on the front of my S14 and was wondering which size rotor i need to use when i replace them... 30 or 32mm???

<hahahahahahahahaha

"Specs below.

R33 GTST Nissan Skyline
Front rotors (diam x thk) - 296×30

The bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3
center hole is 68mm
min thickness is 28mm
height is 53.75mm

It's pretty much the same as the 300zx except the diameter and 0.25mm difference in height. If you made them two piece you could use the same hat as the 300zx."

Looking for R33 rotors . 296x30 ? - RacingBrake Forums

:dunno: ?
measure the rotors that are on the car currently..?

FYI, 300zx TT rotors dont work with r33 GTS brakes. 300zx are 280mm and r33 GTS are 296mm diameter.

Well crap, so I actually have to buy them specific for the r33?

The bad thing is i dont even kno wht model they came off of. There just red calipers and there pretty big size. The rotors tht r on the car right now r to small for the calipers. the brakes barely touch the rotor lol. They work just fine but i was just going to replace them with the correct ones!

Somebody said that they're using 3000GT rotors...but you'd have to space out the caliper. You still have the Q45 option but they're 2mm narrower.

You can use the GT-R 296x32 rotors as well as the 296x30's. I've posted part numbers for OEM rotors you can source through Nissan Motorsports here before.
