I was just curious about the re-drilling as I've never seen any like that. I've known Serban for 15 years

This is true. By far the most abundant SR20 powered car at the pull yards is the G20. @SE-RMonkey and I went to the largest pull yard on the east coast a couple months ago, not one single B13 or B14 SE-R. Just a bunch of G20's.

How else would rotors fit a 4x100 car when they are made for a 5x114.3 car?

I meant I've never seen re-drilled holes that overlapped

We like being able to use the same Hawk HPS pads on back of both the G20 and B13. I've never held the calipers next to each other (b13 and p10) but yes, the p10 rears are much more readily available AND IIRC, so are the Hawk pads

BTW: For anyone curious, here is my very very old reference to doing the p10 to b13 rear conversion back in the day:

G20 Rear Brakes live on in a 94 Sentra E (drum to disc converstion)

cut n paste from March 2005 post for quick reference:

So today was rear brake conversion day!

o.k.

So the car started out a bottom feeder 1.6 Sentra E 1994 model... but it got the SR20de transplant back in February and NOW it needed to get some brakes (started with the rear's, fronts will be in a few weeks as well)

Anyway, ya'll know how pathetic drum are but here is a BEFORE photo:




...and in process:





..and while we were at it, the old 150K+ rubber bushings in the suspension were all replaced with Energy Suspension bushings!



...first the disc rear spindle and hub had to be put on:




...and NOW the redrilled G20 Rotor:



..YUP the G20 P10 rear caliper just bolts right on:





..and don't forget the stainless steel lines:
