Sentra Caliper retrofit

[D1champ]

I was thinking about wether the Brembo package 4piston calipers on the Sentra SE-R or even 350Z will bolt up to an S13?? Anyone have info on this?

[cosmoworks]

For the 350Z, same answer I gave here (www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=107032). Sentra front Brembo's will bolt right up.

Wait, so the 02-04 brembo calipers will fit perfectly (caliper and rotors)?

I found this kit http://fastbrakes.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=187 which seems like a decent deal.

Sentra - 240sx - 300zx?

i own a sentra and you are saying the 300zx brakes will bolt up? hmmm interesting..

more info please... on the b15 brembos on the s13. by using the search, i came up with nothing usefull.

Well, I've found this:

B15 2000-2006
B15 is 4x114.3 mm
Front: Brembo Power-assisted 12.01” x .87” vented discs

What else is there to take into consideration?

Well so far this is what I found:
SE-R rotors are the same offset as 93-97 Altima rotors.
Also, non-Spec V cars use 93-97 Altima rotors.
The stock 180sx brake package was Altima rotors.
Unfortunately whether the calipers fit up or not is another question. I have "heard" that they bolt right up but you may have wheel spoke clearance issue...that doesn't seem to make sense since Spec-Vs use about the same offset as we do. This is not much help but at least we are half way there.

Thanks a lot for that link.

So apparently, they bolt right up BUT you may have wheel clearence issues. I wonder if DOHC Alloys will fit alright with these. You also have to use 300zx conversion lines though.

wow im surpised you didnt get flamed for even suggesting using sentra brembo brakes because i know i did. Just because they come from a sentra and its not as cool as saying there from a skyline.

Search around different sentra forums sometimes you get lucky and find someone selling brembos off their spec v. I looked for a few months and never really found a set for sale. The chances of some wrecking and then parting out their brembo equipped sentra is very slim as i do not beleive many people ordered the package. There are many other brake upgrades that can be done for much cheaper. I did a Q45 brake upgrade with calipers and rotors and all I needed to do was have my rotors redrilled to 4 lug at a machine shop. Stopping power was phenominal. Maybe not as good as Brembos but they also didnt cost nearly as much as brembo brakes would.

well, most people don't realize what a hoss the b15 sentra is. i would love to take some of those cats who posted bad shit about the sentra on your post and take them to a autocross event. not saying i would win, just saying you gain high levels of respect.

I'm thinking swapping out my stock B15 calipers and my S13 calipers for Z32s. Or maybe the S13 ones for B15 brembos, and B15s for Z32s.

This is what I'm going with, I probably won't need more than a stage 1 kit. http://www.mossyperformance.com/product/?id=4323

For that price range, there is also the fastbrakes front kit:

That's a pretty expensive setup for something that probably has the equivalent brake torque and fade resistance of a Z32 setup, as the rotor diameters are basically the same and both use 4-piston calipers.

You're better off doing a Z32 swap then running the Punk Racing (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=190020391379) kit with Z33 track rotors (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-2005-350Z-TRACK-G35-FRONT-ROTORS-350-Z-G-35_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33564QQihZ018QQitemZ 280017465771QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW).

^^But Brembos pwn fastbrakes in the face. Plus they're cheaper than the fast brakes kit and don't need a 5 lug swap.
