Questions About Spec-V Brembo Calipers on S13! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I've tried searching everywhere for answers but found nothing. Was wondering if the sentra spec-v brembo calipers will bolt onto an s13 like the z32 calipers do. They look to be same as the z32 but im not sure. If they are direct bolt on, which rotors do i use? I heard you have to use maxima rotors but that seems awkward. If anyone can vouch for that, id appreciate it also. Would i also need to use a z32 mbc since these are 4 piston brakes? Also would the brembo lines fit onto s13? Thanks in advance guys..

Quick notes:

Sentra Spec-V brembo calipers direct bolt on onto 5 lug s13??
What rotors to use ?
Brembo brake lines fit onto s13? Or do i need new lines? If so, where do i find em?

THanks again

u can use the spec-v rotors, its a 4-lug rotor so it will fit a stock s13 hub just fine. If you have 5-lug just get the rotors re-drilled for 5-lug.
Lines you can either use the stock lines from the spec-v brembo or buy s/s lines for the spec-v. The Z32 conversion lines might work, like they do on the Z33 Brembos, just need to verify the thread pitch.

i don't see the real benefit from it, IIRC, they are only 22mm thick ... i think.

only benefit from it is looks and direct upgrade from stock w/out having to switch to 5-lug. Z32 uses a thicker rotor for sure.

Wes_s13 · 02-26-2008, 02:11 PM

oh well they look nice..and they are 4 piston brakes..better than stock

Wes_s13 · 02-26-2008, 02:11 PM

should i use a z32 master brake cylinder?

I would highly suggest it, unless you want a mushy pedal. Also, if you are going for the COMPLETE BREMBO look on a budget *giggles* remember the STI rear brembo calipers work (BOLT ON) if you have a COMPLETE Z32 rear brake setup. Hence you will need the z32 rear drum setup, and rotors and ebrake lines. Just slap on sti brembo calipers and bam instant bling factor.

adding this for people who search in the future:

the regular spec v brakes are 280mmx22mm.

the brembo optional rotors are not the same specs, however i do not know exactly what the specs are, thats what im searching for now.

if you look around, the standard rotors and the brembo optional rotors have different part numbers.

brewster240 · 03-16-2008, 12:45 PM

ok so what i have found is that the optional brembo package rotors are

300mm x 22m

i will confirm once i have them in my possesion.
