can you tell me specifically the 5 lug rotor i need that fits 180sx caliper? Ive got my 5 lug hub now and doing the conversion. I did my search and nothing is quite sure what year that suits. MOst are mixed up infos. Can somebody put and end to this confusing topic? thanks.

Please state year/model infos on:

5 lug rotor

brake pads

That's not right. I post about this at least a dozen times already.

Once again, for the 13th time: JDM 180SX front brake calipers are the same as USDM 95-99 Maxima and USDM 93-97 Altima.

After you put JDM 180SX brake calipers on your car:

if you have 4x114.3 4-lug bolt pattern, then you need 93-97 Altima discs.

if you have 5x114.3 5-lug, then you need 95-99 Maxima discs.

For pads, you can get Altima or Maxima from those years. The pads are the same on these models.

I thought the 5 lug and brakes from a 300zx Z32 would be a strate bolt on.
I am going to the junl yard tomarrow. So, I need tho know which car to rob parts from.

I know that is a common question.
But I don't see a clear Tech article on it RIGHT IN THE FRUNT!!!
For stupid people llike us who don't have the time to search threw 10Million post.

You thought wrong. Brakes, yes. Hubs, only the rears, and only the NA models. Which all has absolutely nothing to do with the OP asking about 180SX brake fitment/crossover parts.

i hope this post is the last thing ever to be posted about this topic. I dont see anything else that can be asked. This is the most detailed by mentioning the actual years/model of cars to look for unlike several posts that only say maxima/altima disc but from what year? Thanks CVcx i got all what you said.

89-99 (a31 & a32) Maxima Rotors Fit.


I believe i read that there is a need for a 3mm spacer between the hub and rotor w/ the altima rotors. SE-R Rotors from 00-03 fit w/ no gap. (4 lug if confused)

Also if you still aren't sure look up the size in the brembo catalog

Also (years not specified since "hungover" = "still drunk" in function), 4-lug Sentra SE-R rotors will work with the Maxima pads and cure the need for the little spacer, according to hearsay.
And a question...
If you went with 5-lug, why would you not have the calipers you needed to match rotors if you were changing?

finished the front. all you need was a 95 maxima if you are coming from a pre-180sx 4 lug rotor going 5 bolt disc. the pads that i bought also came from the same year but I never used it after discovering the Hawk pads used by the previous owner was still good but I am sure if i was to change that 95 maxima pads will fit. Wednesday im doing the rearconversion with Z32s using my old S14 SE rotors.

At least he spelled "brakes" correctly.

And not "breaks".

This is everything I know.

I have a redtop 180SX front clip. I took the calipers off of the front clip and bolted them onto my S13. No spacer. Nothing. Everything was bolt-on.

I ordered 95 Maxima pads and 95 Altima 4 lug discs. Everything bolted in. No gap. No pad overhang. Nothing. Everything fits.

I can give you pix if you want. I don't know what other people are doing so don't ask me what they're doing.
