Also, it sounds like you have everything you need if the MC turns out to be the right one.

As for fluid, I use Motul RBF-600 and it's considered one of, if not the best fluid to run. It can be hard to find so order online or at a local dirt bike/ATV place. I would buy two bottles to flush the entire system. It can be done with one, but it's best to have extra. (I remember way back when I swapped fluids for the first time. I asked around and the best answer for how much fluid the system takes was 3 liters or something insane. I bought 8 bottles of this stuff and still have 5 of them left after 5 years. )


It looks like I need a 94-98 Altima non-abs MC (U13U). I have one off a 93 so went to the bone yard today and there were two (a 95 and a 96) but I could not confirm or deny that either has/had ABS. I'm a little thick when it comes to brakes.

I would give GV a call normally but I don't need any parts right now.

I'm just running regular valvoline syn whatever. I know Motul is the gizz but it won't make a difference for me.

Misinformation is a bitch.

I wouldn't hesitate to call him for advice even if I weren't buying parts. But then again I do buy a lot from him.

hey since i've seen this post i started accumulating parts to do the rear b13 swap too. so far i have calipers from a 92 maxima w/ ebrake brackets (also took ebrake brackets from a p10/g20 incase, i'm not sure which is going to work. they are different than the maximas i'll snap photos soon.)

i got my mc from a 96 maxima 15/16ths non-abs (same as the altima too confirmed on rockauto and part number on the mc is the same BM44, too). it happened to be the only car in the yard that had a nabco mc like my nx2000 has.

so i'm going to use the maxima mc with the nx2000 proportion valves. should be good to go, i hope. the mc is the same length as the nx but the reservoir looks to be a slight angle. hopefully it fits fine.
