Thread: NX brake questions

ok guys..i just bought a set of calipers from danfiveten and they are currently in transit..i will be odering pads and rotors as soon as i get them..how will i know what size rotors and pads to order? cuz i know some use the 250mm and 257mm rotors..how will i know which to use? thanks..

Top rotor is the 250mm rotor for the smaller AD18VF caliper. The bottom rotor is the 257mm rotor for the AD22VF caliper. If you own a NX2000, you have AD22VF calipers, therefore a 257mm rotor. If you own any other b13 you have the AD18 calipers with a 250mm rotor.

i have a b14..i was just saying i just bought nx2000 calipers for my car..lol

i just thought that the ones w/ abs were different than non abs ones..

Nope. ABS/Non-ABS makes no difference. Only difference in the end is AD22VF or AD18

be freaking careful when you order pads. The non abs pads which state that they are for abs are part numbers 549, while the ABS pads which state they are for non abs are 509. The pads are totally different and you will find that the ABS pads are shorter by around 10-12 mms in length than the non abs pads. The part numbers are kind of screwy.

If I had to take a guess, the 549s are for the AD22s and 509s are for AD18s. Since the NX/Sentra share almost all the same parts mechanically most car parts places and manufactures just assume all the parts are the same. You'll notice a lot when buying brakes that you'll be asked "ABS or Non-ABS" or "American or Japan built". American refers the AD18s on Sentras and nx1600s while Japan built refers to the AD22 on NX2000.

so japan built w/ abs? lol

Yes. 257mm rotors as for pads most likely will be the 549 number.

ok, thanks, will order some up probably later this week! i gotta get crackin on fixin my car for the convention! lol
