JDM calipers and rotors.

[180sx Dreams]

so i took a friends word for it and installed the calipers, rotors, etc etc from a JDm RHD clip I acquired from another friend. From what I've been told they are slightly bigger than the USDM ones and since that is the case the pads and rotors are no longer the same size. People have told me that they really are Altima rotors and calipers and that now when I go to the parts store I have to buy pads for an altima, is this correct? If not, someone plz tell me what they are identical to.

Actually you are probally referring to a size difference with a 89-90 model 240sx. The 91-94 models have the same size brake calipers/rotors as any other Nissan 4 lug car made after 90.

i thought that jdm brakes were 3rd gen maxima calipers with altima rotors....

this little 9.9 in. diameter and 0.8-in. thick rotor is the same one that came on the Silvia in Japan. Their cars didn't stop that well either.
