Thread: wondering what all is needed to upgrade to the nx big brake kit

as title states, i would like to know everything needed, i have an nx shell thats toast but the brakes are good, and want to take them off before i sent it to the scrap yard thanks.

You need the calipers, and rotors, and some stainless steel brake lines.

That's all. (If you're doing the front.)

i was told you need the master too, im guessing not. not to say you dont know what your talkin about cause thats not it at all just runnin it by just in case.

Nope. Master Cylinder is not needed.

I have the NX2K brakes with powerslot rotors on my front, and master cylinder was not required. The brake bias was not affected. If you upgrade the rear brakes, though, you will require a better (more potent) master cylinder.

For instance, an Altima master cylinder, and maxima rears, nx2k fronts.

You should definitely, in all cases, upgrade the lines to braided stainless lines.

ok, thanks for the info ill be gettin me some better brakes on the SE-R now fa show. I'm gettin that fa show

ull need what i got for sale.... hit me up if ur interested

When you source the calipers, be sure they include the TQ member (the bracket that mounts the calipers to the hub). Some include it, some dont.

i found me an NX2K in the junkyard and picked me up the calipers and caliper brackets for both sides, for 30 bucks none the less. now my last question where to get braided stainless lines from, i know they are probably pretty readily available but im lookin for best pricing or what people are most impressed with. also, if i got them for the 200 if the same brake lines would work on an NX2K or not, thanks

brake lines are the same, you should get the SS lines from Greg at gspec.
unfortunately i bought my kit with Ebay SS lines, but i am very impressed with how they perform. I can only imagine what the lines from gspec would be like.

they say they are for drum brakes, those would work?
