Bigger brakes on Rogue T32 from other nissans/infiniti?

[V6er]

Hello!

I have this idea that it should be possible to replace brakes with something more "inspirational" than stock - but I can't seem to find any information about it... or am I only THAT sick?

I don’t think it’ll be easy, or cheap. But I’m sure you can. If you want more bite you could slap on ebc rotors and red stuff brake pads. I promise you you’ll chit when you hit the brakes. If you want smooth stopping that doesn’t make the rogue nose dive and activate the abs I’d install brembo rotors and pads. I have the ebc on my Altima and brembo on the rogue. Two completely different systems but a definite upgrade over stock.

I think I didn't explain my supermegapowerturbo idea good enough - my apologies. I want larger rotors. it is more aesthetic wish, because (at least now) - they are enough functionally.
may be this image will help understand my point - https://forzaaa.com/cdn/shop/products/c ... 1675668625 - those brake rootors LOOK too small (i know - it IS funny).

so. for example - rear brakes might need some attention some time soon. and I want something bigger than original 292mm diameter, 62mm height, 68mm central opening, 5x114.3mm pcd, 16mm thickness and 172mm handbrake shoe. mainly - of course - outside diameter.
for now - it looks like 308mm rear rotors were pretty popular to nissan/infiniti cars. like infinit FX35/FX45. all the measurements seem to be matching, except - I don't know if their rear brake caliper mounting holes will match. can't seem to find this information.
and those calipers remanufactured are cheap .

I will be "investigating" also fixed caliper options, but, again - I can't seem to be able to find anything. some people install fronts from 7row (320mm rotors on 2piston floating caliper), but that is it.
Also - I think I have found larger master brake cylinder, but it would be nice to confirm (or disregard) some ideas without buying and returning stuff.

I hope this explains my idea better

Functionally - totally agree that proper rotors, pads are good way to enhance their performance. btw - did you "stayed" with factory sizes/dimensions?

[D1dad]

Yep, kept it stock. I drove the rogue to Myrtle beach and back from Ohio many times and the oem set up was, let’s just say, Not good going through the Appalachians. I did have a rear caliper go out a few months back and it was cheaper to buy all new power stops (red) in color, than it was to buy 1 new oem Akebno. Not sure how long the power stops will last but they were a decent upgrade and look nice on the midnight color scheme. Nissan definitely undersized the rears on these things, so any upgrade is definitely a good one.

unfortunately - haven't been to mountains ))

and rears... rogue T32 original is 292rotor with 38mm piston. those 308 I mention - are with 33mm piston... (I guess - need to verify via formulas - is there a gain in performance too).

anybody has interest on this subject? what I mean - should I share my findings?

[D1dad]

Sure. I’m always interested in brake discussions. I constantly perform brake jobs well before they’re needed, I’m trying to find the perfect setup. I believe that the brembo/powerstop I’m running on the rogue fills that sweet spot of bite, smoothness and literally no dust. The ebc setup I’m running on my 21 is dam near track level at the expense of dust and the first thing in the morning squeak while backing out of the drive.

[V6er]

my findings are less about manufacturers of parts - more like "geometry"(what/size/from what can be installed...)
turns out - there are a lot of options.
anyway - will post as soon as finish compiling.

I plan on slotted rotors (hopefully - good brand ) and pads "up to" yellow(most "biting" pads which do not require warming up).

Have you tried TireRack?

Yello!

so... just to clarify - first and foremost interest is in aesthetics. originally our 2row T32 came with following brakes:
front - 296mm rotors, single piston floating caliper with 60mm piston, mounting hole distance center-to-center (haven't properly checked it) is ~140mm.
rear - 292mm rotors, 172mm parking brake, single piston floating caliper with 38mm piston, mounting hole distance center to center is 122mm.

simplest upgrade is:
front - 320mm rotors 40206-4CU0B, double piston floating caliper with 2x60mm piston. this is factory setup for T32 3ROW and hybrids(may be hybrids were only X-trails?). caliper should be easy to find. right caliper 41001-4CU0A, left caliper 41011-4CU0A.
rear - 308mm rotors (from many infiniti models - original Nissan/Infiniti part number is 43206EG000.) remember to check for parking brake, because there are two possibilities 172mm and 190mm... single piston floating caliper with 43mm piston (right caliper - 44001-1AA0A, left caliper - 44011-1AA0A).

most probably - for mere mortals - this will require master brake cylinder upgrade, for others - this should make your brakes more predictable.

I don't wrote out larger rotors and proper fixed calipers (330, 350mm, 4pots from infiniti etc).

but I do have question - are there budget (but still good) rotor manufacturers models which have these 320 and 308mm rotors slotted?
ebc has nice two options for slotted
https://www.buybrakes.com/ebc-brakes-bsd7708 (~435usd)
https://www.buybrakes.com/ebc-brakes-us ... -wheel-set (~395usd)
though I can't wrap my head around how these slotting thingies make rotor almost 2x the price from "normal" blank rotor:
https://www.buybrakes.com/ebc-brakes-rk ... -wheel-set (~235usd)

p.s. all numbers are "on paper" (FSM, rockauto.com etc) - so, until when I will have parts in my hands and will measure myself - not sure, because some of my research said that 320mm caliper has 2x44mm piston, not 2x60mm, but FSM should be correct... single piston calipers piston is 41121-4BT0A. on double piston caliper - piston is 41121-4CU0A... so.. seems that FSM might be wrong.

also two more notes:
1) there are plenty of more popular nissan/infiniti 320mm rotors - be careful! because Rogue requires 44mm rotor height. but those "more popular" have 49mm.
2) I am not writing up other options, because with fixed brake calipers you will require (most probably) either spacers or different set of wheels, because not enough clearance.
