I seem to remember hearing they are the same as USDM S14 4-bolt brakes.
but that is by no means backed up with any proof, i just thought i remember hearing that 2 summers ago from someone. check into it though!

91+ 180 rotors are bigger…all the north american 240sx brakes are the same size.

If your car is 4 lug:
95 Altima rotors
95 Maxima pads
If you’re 5 lug then it’s:
95 Maxima rotors (not 100% here, my car is 4 lug)
95 Maxima pads
I say 95 because that’s what used like 2 weeks ago with no issues.

yes, if your 180 is 91+, 240sx pads will be too small. the SR20det 180sx’s came with bigger brakes than 240sx.

I am also looking for new brakes for my 180. So just to be clear before i purchase anything… any pad from a maxima (95) should work for the back and front.

Clarification. For cars with 180sx front brakes. Rears are the same on 240’s as they are on 180’s.
4 LUG S13:
Front-
95 Altima rotors
95 Maxima pads
Rear-
Stock 240sx everything
\*EDIT: This is for SR 180sx brakes. The brakes on the CA 180’s are different and I have no idea what they are.

Since R32 and 300ZX brakes are getting harder to find I stuck with altima rotors/maxima pads and 240sx bits for the rear when I fixed my brakes. In the end I can’t even believe I changed the pads cause they had tons of meat on them.
However, going with HAWK pads for the street has made a massive difference in breaking. I would say that if your S car is somewhat stockish in terms of engine power, forget the big brake kits. 180SX SR brakes are very good if the system is maintained.
