Do you guys think that it's good to put S14 rotors and calipers on a S13. Wanted to upgrade my brake system but don't have much cash for 300zx brakes . Well let me know what you guys think.

meh
minor improvement
i would just upgrade stock rotors (new ones) pads and fluids and lines

s14 rotors and calipers are the same as s13 if i remember correctly. All you really need for a competent brake upgrade is a nice set of pads, and perhaps some new rotors.

Thanks, do you think the JDM stock S13 calipers are any good or are they the same as the US S13? Might pick those up from a friend.

Dousan_PG · 02-09-2005, 11:08 PM

bigger then USDM worthy upgrade

redpanda13 · 02-09-2005, 11:13 PM

Thanks Dousan! One more question, same brake pads as the US ones right?

Sil Beer S13 · 02-09-2005, 11:14 PM

altima rotors? i forget
z upgrade is only about 300 bucks it snot that bad

Altima rotors, Maxima calipers.

Z32 fronts can be had for less than $200.

Why do you feel the need to upgrade your brakes? If it's a good reason then don't be cheap about it.

A friend of a friend has a set of JDM S13 Calipers that he doesn't need anymore, so i figured if it's a good upgrade then i'll pick it up.

I believe the 180sx is maxima calipers/altima rotors. This would be a minor upgrade, although if you were gonna spend the money on this, just grab some q45 calipers/rotors or 300zx calipers/rotors, they're pretty cheap.
