    If you get the matching GTR Brembo calipers they'd essentially bolt straight on with Peewee's adapters from memory.

    I bought some r33 gtst calipers on ebay a while back for a "bolt in" upgrade for my mx83. Needless to say it wasn't bolt in, in fact I've since re-sold the calipers on ebay.

    I must've got some super rare edition because the 2 caliper mounting bolts on the back were a lot bigger then my mx83 bolts and to fit the brakes would mean i'd need to drill the strut mounting holes bigger. (I actually did drill the holes bigger and it was so dodgy it wasn't funny, i'd be nervous everytime I broke from anything faster then 10km/h)

    I've got crappy luck in general so i'm not surprised that the upgrade didn't work. (btw if anybody has any r33 gtst calipers with pads for ~$250 send me a pm)

    I've heard of that happening before.
    Some of the calipers use M14 bolts instead of M12.
    Not exactly sure what happens there, whether its just a very late R33 GTS-T or possibly an R34 GT-T (310mm though).

    Could be the Type M editions of them, from memory they were supposed to be slightly diff.
