front brake upgrade

Hello,

Is there a known brake upgrade for the gtir? (from the Nissan range)
As with the S13 200sx use the brakes from a Skyline?

not plug n play in the front, but the rear you can with oem parts- (b15 spec v rear rotors redrilled wtih maxima pad carriers)

everything in the front will require a caliper adapter of some sort

any b13/nx front big brake kit www.fastbrakes.com will work

Okay, thank you.
I can not use such an adapter.
The German TÜV would cry...

I had only known K-Sport. (front and rear)
But this is very expensive.
But has an technical opinion.

The hope was to find something like the S13 brake upgrade.

the ksport kit would use a caliper adapter there is no way to mount the caliper without it

K-Sport has a Technical Approval.
That goes for the entire kit (including the adapter)
Since there would be no problem.

If there were any other brake, from another car. (Nissan)
It would the "registration" no problem for the technical approval.
It would also be cheaper.

So a simple adapter but needed technical approval. If you use it....

I found something interesting while searching a few days ago. In Europe they used lancer evo 4-5 calipers with renault clio 2004 rotors. Those calipers are the same as the 2nd gen eagle talon and mitsubishi eclipse in awd/turbo and are twin piston. They say it fit under 15 inch wheels.

So I found a set of those calipers and the only thing needed to fit them is to enlarge by 2mm the holes that fix the bracket in place because of the larger bolts.

I also found out that those clio rotors are available in North America via Centric as they manufacture them in the USA so they should be easy to get if you are a little bit patient. Those rotors are 4x100 with center bore of 61mm like our cars so it's a bolt on thing. Only thing they said is I could need a 3-4mm spacer to recenter the rotor on the hub but I'll see that when I get to install everything as the specs are almost identical between clio and gtir rotors.

I don't have a ton of money to put on a BBK and would prefer north American parts as they are easier to get. I already have the brake setup and will try test fitting this week.

I like my j30 calipers, but if you cant put a bracket on due to inspection restrictions, then I would swap your knuckles/spindles for b15 ones and they will fit the 300zx brakes, and larger rotors.
