OEM S13 Silvia replacement rotors/pads? what kind of car in U.S.? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

lv-180sx · 07-09-2006, 05:34 PM

i need to get new pads/ rotors for my brakes (S13 silvia K's brakes) and im wondering what model car from the U.S. uses the same pad/ rotor.. my friend was telling me that the maxima does.. can anyone confirm? ive searched for the passed half hour and came up with nothing useful..

I know the 180sx uses the Maxima pads but for S13 I'm not sure possibly a stock 240. Why not go to your local parts store and bring your Brake Pad holder and test fit them their?

because the part stores ive visited in town dont have most pads/ rotors in stock, they order the parts.. therfore i need to buy it first... im almost positive that the silvia K's and the 180sx shared the same brakes, but what year maxima are we talking about?

I have JDM 180SX front brakes. It came with the front clip for my redtop. It uses 1995 Maxima pads and 1995 Altima 4-lug discs.

I know some others have reported a slight gap between disc and pads, but that's my setup and it matches up to the caliper very well. No gap at all. I'm starting to question whether those who complained had wrong parts.

sorry for bumping an old thread but I'm purchasing a JDM 1991 180SX and am trying to figure out what USDM pads/rotors it uses.

So Fronts are 95 Maxima pads, 95 Altima Rotors.

My question is: Is the rear the same?

I know most of you guys are only using fronts because they came with your clip's. But I'm importing the complete car to drive

Rears are the same as US 240SX...

why not just convert to Z32 calipers and you want have to guess? or possibly go to stock 240sx calipers?

He's already halfway there with the calipers. Once he gets everything, it's not hard to remember/guess.

sorry to bring back up such an old thread... again... but I've finally got my 180 on the road now..

It has stock ABS aswell... I know the stock USDM S13 pads are different between ABS and non ABS models.

Anyone know if what it would be for my 180? Do I aquire 95 Maxima ABS pads? Did all 95 Maximas have ABS?
