S14 4 Lug Front Brakes on S13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

AadosX · 01-25-2006, 09:57 PM

I'm sorry to ask a noob question but I have been very busy and out of the 240SX loop lately so I'm trying to jog my memory. I tried searching but after a few pages I grew impatient with maybe one related thread per page because of terminology, etc. This is actually for my little brother who's car I'm trying to fix for him.

His front brakes are completely shot, pads gone and rotors gone, one of the calipers is seized. I have a pair of S14 SE front calipers laying around. Will those bolt on and work with his car? If so should I use S14 non SE/4 lug rotors or should I use S13 rotors, or does it even matter. I know the calipers are SE, which are 5 lug, but I'm assuming that the rotors are the exact same size, just different number of holes.

Thanks a ton in advance, planning on doing it all tomorrow before he goes on a small road trip, I want him to be safe!

IIRC

91-94 S13 ABS uses same pads as 97-98 S14

All S13 and S14 use same rear pads + rotor size

Don't quote me on that though

It should work. Because Z32 brakes fit both s13 and s14 mounting points.

Calipers are the exact same.
