common to all us maxima conversion guys.

note in the first picture that you can see about a 1/8" of the pad's fristion surface overhanging the rotor. not a huge deal, since it's still an upgrade form stock, but a larger rotor would be cool.

I can explain this:

First some facts:

1) 180SX uses a 280mm x 26mm diameter rotor, the Altima/Maxima/P11 G20 use a 280mm x 22mm diameter rotor

2) 180SX does not share the same caliper with the Maxima/Altima/P11 G20.......the 2 bolts that attach to the knuckle are of equal distance and will bolt up but the distance of the ears (mounting tabs) from the centerline of the axle are different specs between teh 180SX and Maxima/Altima/P11 G20 or basically differnt between FWD and RWD.

3) The proper rotor to use beside the JDM 180SX 4 lug rotor will be to use a 90 Z32 NA 280mm x 26mm diameter rotor and redrill to 4 lug or if your not 5 lug.

I dont know how I missed this before but I'm irritated I did. Have you personally tried the 1990 z32 n/a rotor or this is just speculation?

I took measurements, it will work 280mm x 26mm is the correct diameter and width.
