Thread: SEL big brake upgrade suggestions

It's obvious you're looking at the 11" fastbrakes kit then. It's the largest you're going to fit inside those wheels. It looks like a 5mm spacer for the front is in order (no big deal). Thanks swiss.

For the rear, rock the Maxima/JDM NX2000/P10 brakes (pretty sure they are all the same).

Since this is identical to my own setup, I can say yes, you should go with the Altima MC as well.

^Ben, what year Altima MC did you pick up? I'm looking into getting the Maxima rears from the 91-94.

The rear brake situation on my car along with the Altima MC were purchases from Greg V that I can never remember what exactly it is that I bought. Greg knows what you need though. I always get the years mixed up. I think it is a 1996 non-ABS Altima MC but I'm sure there is a year range that works. I wish there was a good thread on the rear brake upgrade. That would do us all some good. Which chassis and years you can get the calipers from, same with rotors, and same with the master cylinder. The rear parking brake cable brackets from the B13 don't work so you need ones from a Maxima/P10 and this is a detail almost always left out of the story.

I'm almost certain the B14 uses different Maxima brakes than the B13, but mine were already there courtesy of the previous owner. You'll want to double check that.

for the rear you can get the P11 calipers or the 95+ maxima(maxima with the rear beam.)

This is great. So ben you think the 11" stuff with some good race pads will hold up to track duty?

I know having bigger rears is going to help a ton.

From everything I've read about the NX2000 brakes they are all you'd ever need for an N/A car on the track. For those with boost, they might be lacking. I've heard the 11" kit is all you'd ever, ever need on a B13 Sentra. Keep in mind, this is for track duty, like you said. I can't see any problem with this logic, and I'll say the 11" fastbrakes kit up front and Maximas in the rear on a B13 is heaven. It's not the ultimate brake package, but what is?

You're rocking a B14, so you've got a bit more weight to deal with. You're also making more power than 99% of people have bothered to race with on a circuit course. Honestly, you could probably make use of the larger kits but you'd have to be willing to switch wheels. Probably to a 16".

Like you said, good pads will be the trick. You should be okay on the street with Hawk HPS or similar pads, but keep in mind you'll probably want to switch to something more serious for the track.

I do think the 11" kit is right for you, it just won't be completely awsome. You won't be able to run racing pads all the time, and without them you might experience some fade on the street if you do something stupid like 0-100-0 MPH runs back to back to back. You should be fine though if you realize it's not going to work magic.
