[Were the SE-Rs ever built with ABS. That would include the bigger brakes. The parts guys always ask me if it has ABS and where it was made. I assumed that meant that their were options.
[Every time the parts guy asked me the same question. I looked at him straight faced and told him if he could show me documentation on a Japanese built SE-R, I'd give him a $100. I never got any Documentation.
The Omission was that Nissan Never brought any Japanese SE-R's to the US.

Seriously, don't even dream about getting those brakes allowed in IT. Won't happen. It (trunk kits) was a bad idea for SS and would be an even worse idea for IT.
Is there a good reason why 2 cars who are essentially absolutely identicle under the sheet metal cannot have the same brakes? SE-R brakes are a joke, and a dangerous one at that. Now that they've moved to ITA, they've added weight to the car which will stress hopelessly inadequate brakes even more. These things are Civic brakes, at best. If we had Civic weight (~2000 lbs) and Civic hp (108), no problem.
This is a safety issue I personally think the SCCA should reconsider.

Finally, someone who things the same as me. Must be a good person indeed.
i just have a question.. as far as i know.. there never was as JDM SE-R.. the Sentra was orignally a North America market car... not made in Japan.
Most of us know every B13 Sentra SE-R was built in the U.S. But if you go to *any* parts store and try to order front brake pads for a B13 Sentra SE-R, the parts guy will ask you if your car was built in Japan or in the U.S.
However, some little birdie once told B13 SE-R owners that you can get re-manned, loaded AD22 calipers that way if you just play dumb.

Yes.
The SE-R never came with them.
The two cars cannot be listed on the same spec line because they have different coachwork (I argued for it).
If you want to run NX brakes, run an NX.

That is not what we have found racing Grover's SE-R.

Horsepuckey. I've out braked virtually every car I've raced against. I even out braked a 911, a car that is known for excellent brakes. If you want to talk about woeful brakes, let's talk about the 240Z. But it still even turns faster lap times than an SE-R.
