Hey guys,

I have both 240sx brake pads and i also have a nissan silvia. Now im wondering will the pads work with my calipers and rotors? The silvia isnt a K series it actually came with a CA18DE under the hood. So any input on whether the pads will fit please let me know asap.

Thanks

Since you have the pads and the car, why not just test fit them?

i have a silvia too with the ca18det, the rear pads and rotors are the same as far as im told, the fronts are different though supposedly , i agree though if you got them in hand it takes no more than 20 min to test fit them it provided the old ones arent seized in there. let me know i think a brake job will be upcoming in the winter for myself

i believe you need nx2000 front rotors and pads. im not 100%, but you should look into that.

the 88-90 silvias have smaller brakes than even non-ABS 240SX’s

well update. My pads fit the calipers on the silvia. Might be because i have a/m rotors.

Thanks for the help guys
