Dude, if I tell you that it does align its because the car in the very first post is mine, you wanna see pictures of my EBC pads after 5 months of street and track use?? One of the first things I checked was that the edge of the rotor matches with the edge of the pad, and that the pad covers the whole disc surface, this is not a guetto brake job, i would not joke arround with brake stuff while i drive a 300whp car on a race track.

edit: ok... it look to me like the pad would hang off the edge of the rotor.

and i also, would rather not machine rotor diameter.


also... whats the story with Z32 rotors? i wondered if that was an option as there are more aftermarket, performance oriented rotors available for the Z then there are for the altima.

What's the problem about it? It doesnt compromise the strength of the rotor. Or I have to post also pics of my rotors after 1 year of total abuse? As I said earlier, I am not against an spacer that will make the caliper swap easier, I wish I had such an option back then. But if people finds easier to go to a junkyard get some cheap parts and do it the same way I did, dont jump saying that it doesnt work because that is not true.

If you get the calipers and the rotors, then i am pretty sure it will work.

You only have to remove 4mm(.1016) from the diameter of the rotor.

It's ok man dont worry

They have the same diameter as the Altima rotors, they are 2mm thicker IIRC, which is nice, but since I used B15 knuckles and hubs (114x4), I went with the Altima rotors to not re-drill the holes, just bolt the rotor in (after taking the 4mm out od the diameter).

So if i do this set up will it work:
FRONT
  • Spec-V Brembo Calipers
  • p10 steering knuckle & hubs
  • p10 Brembo rotors
REAR
  • p10 rear hubs
  • p10 Brembo rotors

I will have a full 4x114 set up ? corrrect?

The P10 steering knuckle is different.

Alright so you have to use the B15 ones then?

for the Z32 rotors, i'm thinking that would be the way to go as they are designed to go with those calipers

for the Spec.V brembo's you would need the Spec.V rotors, wouldnt you? the p10 brembo rotors are just oem replacement (arent they?) which would make them too thin for the B15 SpecV calipers.
