5 Lug Swap, rear rotors and pads? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

**West** · 03-11-2003, 02:23 PM

Alright, I got almost everything to swap over my 5 Lug Swap and Z Brakes. Then it hit me, what is involved with the rear brakes? I am keeping the stock rear brakes. I assume I need s14 5 Lug rotors or im sure I can just redrill the stock s13 rear rotors? Then what about rear pads, do I get s13 or s14? Thanks for the help!

S13 and S14 rear brake pads are the same, so are the rotors .. except the S14 SE rotors have 5 lug pattern, those are the ones you want

the rotors and pads are the same dimensions, so, yes, just stick with what you've got. redrill or get new S14 SE rotors, whatever works.

S14 rear calipers are NOT the same. same pad, fit over the same rotor, but larger piston. Just FYI.

I didn't say calipers, just FYI

Hey, neither did I!

What about the rear rotors from an SR20DET powered S14, will these fit the S13 calipers ?

I think Silvias have 300zx brakes stock. If I'm right, then no, they won't fit.

The S14 Silvia K's had "300ZX" front brakes but the same rear brakes as the S14 240SX.

All S13/14/15 worldwide use the same size rear rotors and pads EXCEPT the Euro S13.

How would you do a 300z conversion on a 95 4lug? Is it easy?
Inexpensive?

Just look in the FAQ about the 3Z brake swap. There is a link to the importnut site with a complete guide to the install. http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm
