Thread: B13 XE to SE-R AD18 Upgrade and Rear Disc Conversion w/part numbers

1st I want to say "thanks" for all the great info posted on this forum. Even still I have information overload and just want to be sure I'm on the right track with my brake upgrade project. If anything I have here looks "not right" please say so. As the thread title states I'm upgrading my 1993 Sentra XE brakes to SE-R spec. I am not going for the AD22 upgrade or any other crazy combination for the sake of both saving unsprung weight and the possibility that I might sell the car in the future. Here is what I have so far:

StopTech slotted rotors
(1 RF) 126.42052SR, (1 LF) 126.42052SL
(1 RR) 126.42054SR, (1 LR) 126.42054SL

SKF rear hub units
(2) BR930134

Centric semi-loaded calipers (non ABS)
(1 RF) 141.42083, (1 LF) 141.42084 - These are stamped AD18V
(1 RR) 141.42541, (1 LR) 141.42542 - These are stamped AD7HA

Goodridge stainless brake lines
(1) GR22043

Raybestos parking brake cables
(1 LR) BC94913, (1 RR) BC94914

Centric Posi Quiet pads
(1 F) 105.05090
(1 R) 105.05110


The following is still on order:

Nissan OE rear spindles
(1 LR) 43041, (1 RR) 43040

Nissan OE rear baffle plates (dust plates)
(2) 44151

Centric master cylinder (non ABS)
(1) 130.42214


Some pictures for anyone who is interested in this brake swap:

Everything looks on point, awesome and quality dude! Consider going NX2000 or Altima mastercylinder? Awesome set up dude!

id swap the mastercylinder while I was at it. it may feel a bit mushy swapping to the rear discs, but from what I hear the braided lines fix that enough to be acceptable. to me, not worth the risk since you will be bleeding anyways swap out the mc.

x2 on the altima MC i did the conversion in my E model and it was day and night difference

Thanks for the input about the master cylinder. I decided it is pretty silly to swap everything else and leave the MC to chance. I went with the "black top" one that would have been stock on a non ABS SE-R. Also the spindles are finally in! I ordered dust baffles for the rear discs because I figured they would make a nice finishing touch. Well, as you can see in the picture, I only received 1 of them. I am told that the dust baffle in the picture is the very last one in the country. So, I either have to look into getting an aftermarket one or leave them out altogether.

what was your final bill on all this. i need to do a brake conversion in my b13

All invoices + shipping = $1200.25
Without shipping = $1099.57 which is why I included part numbers. Most of these items can be ordered from your local parts store.

That's a lot of dough for brakes on a 110hp car.

Are you planning on upgrading the motor?

No need to knock...if you think about it, he's doing it the right way. Building it from the ground up, that how I started my 4dr, with brakes and bushings,etc...Then got a lil exited and swapped the VE lol

I have no immediate plans to do anything with the engine but I'm not ruling out an engine swap or small turbo project in the future. The cost of the brakes is somewhat offset by the fact that the car is due for a brake job on all four corners anyway. The engine however, is still in good shape.
