R32GTR brakes are 288mm (?) with quite big Nissan 4pots, same brakes as on S14/S14a 200SXs and 300ZXs.
R33/34 GTR brakes are 310mm (?) disks and gold Brembo 4pots and are better (need to be for big heavy busses like that, lol).
GTS/GTST etc brakes are different and not as good.
Why mate?

Have you ever driven a S14a hard? What on earth makes you think they need better brakes? They dont, trust me.
Skyline stuff bolts up as it already has R32GTR brakes
R33 brembos is better, but bloody expensive even s/h if i remember correct.
Im sure theres big disk kits (well any skyline big disk kit will fit direct, and there tons of them) but that wont be cheap and a waste of time when the car already has such good brakes.
First thing you NEED to do is fit a FULL (ie from turbo back, the entire lot) exhaust and a big front mounted intercooler as both are totally shockingly poor and make the car a lot better immediatley (esp if you bash the boost up to 1bar at same time).

need an uprated fuel pump too if you want to run 1 bar.
as for brakes, i have alloy 4 pots off a 300ZX TT. they are the same as the S14 callipers, just lighter. then i'm using some Brembo M3 310 or 315mm disks (i forget the size) which have been re-drilled to suit the S13 hub. i also got Feredo (sp) DS2500 pads on, which are great
the whole lot didn't cost much and is easy to fit. i got the disks, brackets, all the bolts, and spiogt rings from Buffy on the SXOC. it was really cheap too
on an S13, it requires different stud pattern to be drilled onto the disk but he's fitted a kit to an S14a, so that shouldn't be a problem.
i'd go that route over Brens personally.

You wont get 280bhp in a million years without a front mounter mate.
Std side mount is a joke, at 1bar boost (ie most you can do without needing chip etc) youl be seing charge temps of about 80degrees, trust me, we tested it
1bar is fine on a S14a on std pump, tho is close to limit, and for the sake of 100quid or so a uprated pump costs, id get one anyhow.
I thought you was going for big brakes just to fill the wheels, you big poof
My mate had 18s and std brakes (just painted calipers black/silver) and looked fine.

Lewis- 19s go on with no work if your feeling super bling
Tho 18s and some lowered springs would look best n prob suit the handling better.
Id not change the shocks etc really tho, they damn nice to drive on the road, n handle quality, unless you was dead unlucky and the one you get has a worn LSD (like most cossies have these days) they can be slid about brilliant.
Ace fun cars

18s go straight on mate, think 19s do too.
Could fit coilovers if want, but its such a nice road car itd kinda be a shame to ruin the comfort with some coilovers.
Id just fit springs myself for now, in my experience that does the job nicely for a hard driven road car, a lot of people leave em std height on 18s, but lower looks even nicer.

i personally wouldn't go Norris Designs, they are expensive. have a look at the traders section on the SXOC. Bren @ Apex Performance is generally the best place for most parts, SRB can supply hard to get parts, like bodykits, shit hot wheels, etc. for engine work. for working on them, Steve@EMS is good, and APT are ment to be good too.
