Thread: NX2000 front brake conversion

What's needed to do this? Just rotors, calipers, pads, bleed the brakes and thats it?

thats right.

Sweet! I thought I once heard that I would have to grind something down or that the calipers need a another mount or something.

yea if youre gonna run the stock B13 SER wheels you need to shave the caliper to clear it

Or run a 5mm spacer

I've got 15's so I'm ok there.

you also need the torque bracket. if it does not come with the caliper. (not sure if that is the correct name)

i put nx breaks on my b14
you need the calliper bracket from the nx thats what allows the caliper to sit higher in order to clear the larger rotor

they lookes sweet as hell behind a b14 se-r wheel

The point of the brakes is to stop the damned car, not look "sweet as hell". Why nissan didn't put them on the front of the B13 in the first place is a mystery; the nx2k is basically the same car. Be that as it may, your front bias will be MUCH greater with the nx2k pieces on the front and the stock (and same as nx2k) pieces on the rear; nissan changed the bias valves on the mc for the nx2k to send a bit more pressure to the rears to make up for the bigger fronts. The aftermarket rebuild mc's don't include the valves. Greg can find the REAL nx2k mc with the correct proportioning valves, makes a VERY noticeable difference because of greater rear braking, but the fronts still lock first. The other option is to play with larger rear stuff like off a maxima; lots of people have done that but I've never heard anyone who actually races such a setup talk about resulting brake balance. The correct way to do it is to install adjustable proportioning valves, but you have to cut into your system to do that.

wow so its not as simple ha
