Thread: What brakes are these?

We have 3 LeMons races under our belts with a B13 SE-R, and its time for a brake job.

I have been trying to find brake pads and rotors for the car, but the various size offerings on the rotors and the fact that manufacturers do not list the Sentra SE-R for pads is adding to the confusion.

I learned that the Hawk HB236 pad is the replacement for the stock SE-R front pads. Is this true?

Never the less, I pulled the pads from our SE-R, and took some photos, and they in no way match the HB236 pad per Hawk's website.

In fact they appear to match HB213 which I have seen someone quote on here also, but not sure on the application.

My rotor thickness is ~25mm (with wear) and with the HB213 "looking" pads, I am thinking our car is equiped with the NX front brakes.

Can anyone confirm this from the pads below? Is there some other tale-tail signs that we do infact have the NX front brakes?

My brother's ABS equipped B13 SE-R had 4.5" front pads.

Yes, the part number on the caliper will be "AD22" or at least start with that.

Stock SE-R calipers are "AD18".

a photo of the caliper would be much more helpful than a pad, like ben said AD22 is the NX brakes

Stock B13 calipers are marked AD18.

Stock B14 calipers are marked 22V.

Stock NX calipers are marked AD22VF.

Both B14 SE-R and NX 2000 calipers share a 54mm piston bore size while the B13 SE-R has smaller 48mm piston bore for the front calipers.

This is an NX caliper for the Driver's Side Front.


And if your rotor thickness is 25mm, it is def. an NX rotor.

bryan, looks like from ad22ve calipers

Yes I have the AD22VF calipers on our Sentra. That is good news in that I have the larger front brakes. Now I am curious about the brake master cylinder and other components.
