VERSA NISMO R-TUNE BRAKE PAD

[bluev]

I JUST COMPARED THE A SET OF OEM VERSA PADS WITH A SET OF NISMO R-TUNE PADS FROM A SET OF (ALTIMA NONE SE-R) R-TUNE NISMO PADS SAME EXACT PAD. THAT MEANS BETTER BRAKING POWER. I WILL POST PICS LATER

If I understand correctly, you're saying that the Non SE-R Altima pads are the same as the Versa pads, and there is set of Nismo pads available for the non se-r Altima that works on the V.

I find it hard to believe that the Altima uses the same size brakes as the much smaller and lighter Versa. Can anyone who has access to the part numbers verify this?

Not to mention that real race pads can actually be dangerous on the street. Not sure about whether the NISMO are real "race" brake pads. Real ones needs to get hot to work properly so driving around town you get very low stopping force for pressure applied. Dangerous for street driving!

the turn 3 creative versa is actually @ my job and its got the orange nismo r-tune pads. im guessing its got the nismo pads from the altima. I have not ask glen the owner.

According to Hawk's website the front pads on Altimas up to '07 that are non-se-r use the same pads as the Versa. Could be some small differences bases on ABS or not maybe, haven't looked into it.

But Hawk carries pads for the Versa so to me Nismo is not needed.

i was comparing some of the pads NISMO R-TUNE, OEM, AND PROJECT MU 03-05 350z non brembo02-06 altima non-ser07-08 versa non-abs02-03 maxima11/00-07/02 sentra se model

ALL THE SAME PADS. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE MIGHT ONLY BE THE MATERIALS USED IN THEM.
