300zx and R33 calipers the same?

My R33 calipers are also alloy.

MY R32 calipers are alloy and look just like the ones on the right of crUZida's picture - except the number cast into alloy is '6' and they've been painted a gay red.

Argh
In Cruz, Norbie, OC and Chuck i trust
all relevent links are revealed over my original post with selecting the text (hidden so that people SEARCH first, there are sooooo many branches on this topic already)
300zx has 3 types of calipers 2 are alloy, one houses a 26mm disc, the other a 30mm disc. There is also a cast iron caliper for a 300zx, for a 30mm disc.
S14 and S15 calipers are Cast iron and house a 30mm disc
R33 is alloy and houses a 30mm disc
R32 i won't comment too much on but by all reports are the same as the 300zx alloy 30mm caliper and also a brembo caliper exists

EldarO and 5000gt please edit your comment, it is not correct and i would be happy to throw my <4kg caliper at you so you can confirm it doesn't hurt quite as much as an ~7kg one would

as for the original question, No they are not the same but are interchangeable as a complete package. 300zx has shorter legs to accomodate for a 280mm diameter rotor (talking about the 30mm thick one anyway), r33 looks smoother and has longer legs to accomodate for a 296 mm rotor

R33 GTS-T is 296mm, same as R32 GTR.

R33 GTR is 324mm rotor with brembo's.

He is talking about the thickness of the discs, and from memory i think there might be some discrepancies but i cant confirm at the moment.

Check on the DBA site for the disc sizes and thicknesses.

I read somewhere the R32 GTR calipers are the same as R33 GTSt, can anyone confirm?

not sure but 32 GTR discs are wider by 2mm according to the DBA catalogue

I can confirm... that they are not the same caliper. Both Sumitomo's though.

They are both 296mm disc, but the R32 GTR (ser1 only) is 32mm wide (as stated above).
R32 GTR Ser2 ran the Brembo's.
