Jdm s13 brakes vs. usdm brakes

[redsx13]

Sooo, ive had a silvia clip laying around for a while, and decided to source the front brakes. but when i took them off, i noticed that the rotors are bigger than the ones on my s13. Is this correct? or did someone in japan do a brake swap on the silvia clip i have?

is it 5 lug?i found 5 lug 180sx brakes for sale one time that the rotors were 5 lug and wer a lil bigger than 240sx. caliper was same tho. (or close)idk if they wer legit tho.

[chaosli]

they are legit but its the same as the maxima brakes

that was a conversion. there is no such thing as a factory 5-lug s13.

Actually, ya, it was. Is that true for the usdm 240's as well? or just the jdm s13"s?

btw, just so theres no mixups, its 4-lug, not 5 lug.

180sx have the front brake sys. of a 92-96 nissan altima.

that's what replacement parts i got on my 180 anyway

i thought all s13's had 2 piston brakes, and were all the same size.

nope, that's why j and q 2 piston brakes are an upgrade. i expected better braking when i put on my z32's, but damn it's like an on/off switch lol.

as far as i know all the USDM ones were like that. idk about the JDMs

yeah I beleive the later jdm cars had the bigger brakes there the same diameter as the 300 brakes just not as wide and have a sliding caliper. I have a set on my car. The pads are the same as a maxima and the rotors are altima but you cant go get maxima calipers from the junk yard the caliper mount is a bit different and the pad will overhang the rotor wich is not acceptable in my world. I tried it before getting a jdm set off ebay.

maxima pads and altima pads are the same
