Well I hope that it's a good kit because I just bought it! I've been monitoring these since they were $500.00 buy it now but as soon as it got down to $400.00 I didn't hesitate to click. It's really a good deal, at least I think.

looks like you'll have to get the rotors resurfaced, other than that, it seems like a good deal

you will need the ebrake system which is does not have.

those are GTS-T brakes too.

GTR had brembo's.

Is there any way to convert my ebrake setup for this kit? Or do I need the original ebrake cables for the R33? I bought this ebrake extension kit on ebay which I thought would work. If it doesn't I'll probably give it to my lil bro who just got his 89 240sx.

I think I just misunderstood you. I did get the ebrake drum system with the backing plates as well when I picked up my brakes from the seller. I just need the cable. That kit on ebay should work right?

actually early R32 and some R33 (not sure why) had bigger brakes than the GTS models. they sizes that rotors came in were the same as the Brembos. i think, that some of the older calipers and rotors were left over and put onto early R33 GTRs then they switched to the Brembos.

the pictures suck but they could be those larger rotors/calipers from the R33. but you might want to compare them to the Z32 rotors. and if they are larger, i don't think they fit under 16" rims or smaller.

those look like 13" rotors. if so then they are plenty big. you may lock up the brakes easier in wet conditions.
