Thread: "THE" Brake Thread

Rotors or Calipers?

B13's uses J30 (89-94) Maxima rear calipers

B14's uses A32 (95-99) Maxima rear calipers

A32 rear calipers without pads come in at 7.5 lbs.

AD22VF calipers without pads are 9 lbs.

One of these days when I have a lot of time I want to compe a brake threa similar to Shawn's suspension thread...

Can't believe this one was missed. Thread stuck, great job Joekuh

Thanks for putting the pressure on me Vad. Now I really need to keep this updated, LOL


That was the idea when I started this. But I'm quickly finding out it's a LOT of work. But I'm slowly getting it together.



When you read his question, he's talking about rotors. You're right, those are the calipers used for each chassis. The rotors are different, however. I have from a good source that B13's use JDM NX rotors, and from personal experience you have to use redrilled 95-99 Maxima rotors.

That's what I'm here for, now finish the thread!

You can say that again.

FRONT: '04-'06 B15 Spec V 4 Piston Brembo Calipers, 12" Slotted and dimpled rotor (drilled for 4x100), HAWK pads.
WARNING!: Is very limited on what wheels will clear these calipers. Currently have Motegi 17" Traklites w/ 42 offset (no spacer) and it leave only a few millimeters of clearance between the wheel spokes and the calipers. Though, by my measurements you should be able to fit a 16" Traklite over these calipers.
Note: You will need to swap out your spindle for a B15 spindle or have a bracket made for these calipers.

REAR: A32 Maxima calipers, 11" slotted and drilled rotors (drilled for 4x100), HAWK pads.

Master Cylinder: U13 Altima Master Cylinder

MIS.: Braided SS front and rear lines.

Performance Wise: She stops where I want her too when I tell her too. No complaints for street use; haven’t tried the setup on the track yet.

Zer, what do you drive? I'm thinking B14. Actually, I know B14, just remembered I sold you those corners
