So before you go on about the search button i have looked into …

i have an 89 s13 silvia from japan , ca18det im looking to replace rotors and pads all around. From what im searched my rotors are 250x18 FR, 258x9mm RR, from what ive matched off of numbers 89-94 240 sx Rear rotors are the same. And the 89-91 180sx have same fronts and rears. Any other matches ? oh yea 4x114 boltpattern…anything to watch out for? i wanna look for a slotted or drilled rotors and good solid set of pads for the weekend track use.

While we are on the subject do i have any options for s/s lines?  
thanx for your time

i believe there was a thread about this a week or two ago and someone said 95-99 altima front rotors fit. i could be wrong though.

could be an error…

could not be.

newer sentras are def 114.3

that one might be 100… go on some sentra boards and check it out.

ive also seen mention of nissan pulsars having a similar size rotor

but youd have to check the bolt pattern on that, too

assuming silvia and 180sx brakes are the same

rotors: 93-00 altima fronts  
pads: 89-94 maxima  
calipers: 89-94 maxima

silvia’s with ca’s have the same front brakes as a s13 240sx

silvia’s with sr’s have bigger… you can use 95 altima rotors with 96 maxima pads

wrong

if they did, this post would have never been made

s13 240sx front rotors are 252x20 (non abs) or 257x22 (abs)
