I'm in the process of converting my 180sx to 5 lug using oem parts. That is, 300zx NA rear hubs, and s14 FLCA, spindles and hubs.

Through my research (through the internet) I've found that I have 280mm diameter rotors that are 22mm thick. The s14 are also 280mm diameter but are 30mm thick. If anyone can confirm this info it'd be great.

My question is will that extra 8mm thickness cause me headaches? I've searched and all I can find is that the front s13 240sx rotors are not the same as the fronts from an s14, but nothing on 180sx rotors [which according to the same search are also bigger than s13 240sx rotors]

I can just goto NAPA or any automotive store and pick up 94-95 maxima rotors for cheap, but I have the option of having the s14 rotors included when purchasing the conversion.

Thanks for reading.

S14 rotors (non ABS) are the same size as S13 in the US market. You must be talking about overseas S14, which use the Z32 turbo rotors, correct?

Ah fuck the donor parts are from a s14 240sx too... Looks like el cheapo NAPA blank 94 maxima rotors for me.
