ok, so my buddy has a 94 sentra 4 door, 40k, runs good and all, anyways, im getting bigger brakes for my 240 and im wondering if we can install stock 240xsx brakes on his sentra, as an upgrade, or are they already the same size? can 240sx rear discs be mounted instead of his drums?

sorry if this is a dumb question, im a 240 guy

The best bet for a brake upgrade for a B13 is to get a set of AD22VF front brakes from an NX2000. He'll need the booster from the NX as well. It will all bolt right up. For rears, NX2000 or B13 SE-R rear discs will bolt right up. If he does a complete front and rear upgrade he'll also need the NX master cylinder to keep proportioning right.

yea, actually, i found that upgrade, the 240sx rotors are thinner though, but the piston is larger 54mm vs 50mm for the nx2000 piston. point is, i got extra parts lying around and wanted to know if we can stick them on his car to improve braking, but he doesnt race or anything, so its just something better then stock

I really don't know off hand if they will fit. If the bolt patter is the same, they actually fit on the hubs, the caliper torque member bolts up to the B13 steering knuckle, and the caliper is positioned correctly over the the rotor, there's no reason it won't work.
