Brakes/maintenence questions

[ShiftJDMZ]

Need some help!!!!

Got the 180sx out of storage and just put on my new 17x9 +12 Rota Grids (will post pics when it stops raining here) on and doing some regular maintenance stuff so need a little direction on where to buy and make sure it'll fit!

1) Front brake rotors and pads (4 Lug non-abs)

-From what I've been able to find is that OEM JDM 180sx front rotors are slightly bigger than USDM 240sx's. So I'm slightly confused on what will work and where to order from.

2) Rear rotors and pads (4 Lug non-abs)

-Can't find anything that says JDM is different? So safe to assume it's the same?

3) I bought some STRI Boost and Oil pressure gauges and for the oil pressure sender what are some experiences with oil sandwich plates? Is it worth to get the much more expensive oil block apapter?


Any help on any of these topics is greatly appreciated!

Thank you

why not get bigger rotors? go for the q45 upgrade, drilled and slotted from 88rotors.com. they fit perfect and look and work great. either way research the rotors diameter and they can make you rotors and drill to 4 lug.
2) Rear rotors and pads (4 Lug non-abs)
same as above, but i'm suggesting the 2000 altima rear rotor upgrade with the z31 caliper bracket. bigger rotor, but same 180sx pad and caliper. and also evens out the bias so its so much towards the front.

Is it worth to get the much more expensive oil block apapter? recommend the powered by max oil filter relocator adapter plates, also has 2 ports on the filter plate to run oil psi, temp, oil lines whatever. and the oil psi gauge works on it as well. i run my autometer pro-comp ultra lites on it. this being so if you take out the stock sensor off the block the oil dummy light doesnt come on. so why not have both?
