The only 32mm brakes that Nissan made are the R32 GT-R brakes and the rotors are 296mm x 32mm so if you have those you got really lucky

LowNslowS13 · 07-29-2012, 03:44 PM

this is what they look like......they may be 30mm and he may have told me wrong IDK

measure your rotor thickness and it will answer your question

OP google 300ZX brakes and it will show a site dedicated to the 300ZX brakes, read it and you will find your answer.

Incorrect.

The '90 N/A came with 26mm aluminum calipers. The actual clearance on the caliper is 30mm, but the rotors themselves are most definitely 26mm.

Turbos came with 30mm calipers in either aluminum or iron depending on the year. The clearance for those rotors are around 35mm, but the rotors themselves are 30mm.

32mm was only offered on the R32 like Norm mentioned.

edit:

It's all right here... http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm

Can you post a better pic? Then I could tell you if they're R32's or not.

Well thanks for those that gave useful info

*holemilk00* · 07-30-2012, 06:27 AM

It's easy to tell if you have 32mm R32 GTR calipers. They will be smooth vs the fins that are on the Z32 calipers. Here are close up pics of my R32 calipers.

LowNslowS13 · 07-30-2012, 07:28 AM

Ya I see what u mean ... Ty

me likely look like mine

alixander2012 · 07-30-2012, 03:07 PM

Hey holemilk, where did you send your calipers to be powdercoated and what color was that exactly? That's the exact color I want for mine. LMK

*holemilk00* · 07-30-2012, 03:16 PM

JP Coatings in Monroe Michigan. And it's Granny Apple Green. It actually has a LOT of gold pearl metallic in it.

About how much did they charge per caliper?

*holemilk00* · 07-30-2012, 08:21 PM

He's a good friend of mine and does quite a bit of coating for me and my dad. So it wasn't much. You'll have to call and ask him about doing just calipers. Mine were just a few pieces in a $2000+ order. He does amazing work though.
