I'm building a big brake kit for my Sentra and I'm wondering if the rear brakes of a Altima or Maxima will bolt up (given I drill the correct bolt pattern on the rotors). Any help will be appreciated!

SE-R / GTi-R

On the rear of my car i use Maxima SE calipers and Brembo rotor that i think are made for a maxima and they were drilled to fit an SE-R. It is part of the SMC big brake kit i think

I will tell you, but I want your r/t (j/k) but I seriously want one. what you would need to do is get the calipers and rotors off of a 89-94 max, and you would have to redrill them in. if you have a 95+, it is a 95+max.

Thanks for the info, now I know where to start. As for the R/T, It's in a million pieces. I have literally spent every other night for the last two years working on it. I'm just as excited as ever on what the end result will be. Imagine this: a 400hp K-car (AA chassis) that can handle and brake.

HAHA, here is the key to the big rear brake trick.
Maxima calipers of the same vintage. (B13 use 89-94 Maxima calipers) B14 use 95-up Maxima calipers.
Then get the NX2000 rear rotors that are bigger and are 4X100 instead of drilling out Maxima rotors.

I'm fairly sure the NX2000 has the same rear rotors as the B13 SE-R.

NX2000 w/ABS are larger than SE-R.

I know this is an old thread but I was doing some research and I found this thread. I had Brain with Fastbrakes check this out in his book that list all the sizes for brakes. The Sentra is a 9.21X7mm thick, the NX w/abs is 10.16X9mm thick and the Maxima is 10.93X9mm thick.
