Does the JDM s13 have bigger front brakes than the usdm s13??

[redsx13]

Sooo, ive had a silvia clip laying around for a while, and decided to source the front brakes. but when i took them off, i noticed that the rotors are bigger than the ones on my s13. Is this correct? or did someone in japan do a brake swap on the silvia clip i have?

ABS rotors are bigger i believe, don't know if its noticeable though?

Same as US Maxima calipers and Altima discs. Search.

If it's a turbo front clip then yes, they are bigger.

If it's a turbo front clip then yes, they are bigger.

ya, its turbo, its also automatic. No abs, but may have been removed.
Has 11" rotors, and the brake pads are the same size as the 350z (will actually work with 350z pads)

well from my experience the rears are bigger too.

my friend ordered drilled and slotted rotors for a usdm s13 off ebay by accident.

his car was a ca18 s13 and the ebay rotors were noticeably smaller than the stock shits

both were within like 8mm of the same size front and rear so he just threw the ebay rotors on anyways and they still work to this day

its so funny because it looks like he stole his rotors off a civic or something

thats the way i remember it, but your probably right, its been over a year since he did that

yeah jdm brakes are bigger than usdm. but its same rotor as altima here as well as caliper and pads. cool thing is that project mu makes pads for jdm brakes too... not much difference between both...

took a trip to the junk yard today. I can confirm the fact that the jdm front and rear brakes are bigger. Also, both front and rear are the same as the older altima
