Thread: "THE" Brake Thread

The brakes of 100NX GTi(NX2000),Sunny/Pulsar GTi/GTi-R (N14 which is B13) and Almera GTi( N15/B14) in Europe are all the same fronts and rears:
256x26mm vented fronts + AD22VF
258x9 solid rears (slight differences in calipers but the discs are the same)

All of them use the 4x100 bolt pattern.

Almera N15 GTi and Sunny/Puslar RNN14 GTi-R 4x4 (SR20DET) - 15/16" made by Nabco master cylinder (Altima MC in USA IIRC)

100NX GTi and Sunny/Pulsar GTi (B13/N14 both SR20DE) - 7/8" MC made by Nabco

I've seen some info on the european forums that some of the GTi-Rs came with 1" MCs but I am not sure on that one.
There could be some differences in the MCs between ABS and non-ABS equipped vehicles ,but only in the proportioning valves.

Here in Europe people make some custom kits consisting of 4 pot Brembos from Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo / Peugeot 406 coupe V6 using 300mm discs in the front. The distance between the mounting holes on the knuckle/hub are the same as ours - 130mm.
Another common upgrade is the twin piston caliper from Mitsubishi FTO with 280x24mm rotors. It is the same caliper as some of the DSM family - Eclipse turbo , 3000GT NA , Galant VR-4 and etc.

I am sure that info would help people here . If you need more info I could try find some HOW-TOs.

Just to ask - wasn't there a rear brake upgrade consisting of Maxima calipers and 11" rotors (280mm)for the 200sx(B14)? Share a link with info on it if it exists .

thats a really usefull information!! I didnt know this before, do you have to redrill the hubs using the Brembo Calipers...like using the FTO Calipers?


Some How To-s Would be wounderful

Great info bbkov!!! Thanks!

The 99 Altima MC from advance = BNIB = 102.xx (before the 20% discount i get)

will install it after I go to the drag strip tonight ( dont want to rush bleeding the system)

Is there another stamp on it saying "44" or something like that?

It looks aftermarket so doubt its going to have the nissan size stamping on it.

whats 44 mean?

it says 15/16 thats all i need to know.

I read this thread and can't seem to get an answer, I suppose it's because there isn't any good reason to swap a stock b14 brake to a b13 so it hasn't been answered, but I'm looking at a used fastbrakes kit and its on a b14 now and I need to be sure it will bolt up to my b13. Can anybody tell me if it will? Thanks in advance!

Nevermind

dwike, there only good "B13" brakes are those from the NX2000.... you don't want the SE-R front brakes from a B13 on your B14, because there is no difference.

Get NX2000 B13 front brakes and rotors, the bolt right on to your B14 and will improve your braking drastically, just dont' buy crappy pads....
