i have a p11 primera and i want to turbo.
however since i want to live after the turbo is installed, and i think the p11 brakes leaves some room to be desired,
i want to know what brakes can i upgrade to.
i am new to the nissan forum so please excuse my lack of knowledge all things nissan :lol:

Well i turbo a P11 and installed the R32 brakes on it and it working without bouncing the 17's . I take it off and installed the P11 VVL brakes just to burn out the steelies and that too giving a good stoping power

Yes they do come 5 hole but are drilled professionally to 4 hole... this is the norm so don't think this is a mango tree operation. This is being done all over the world.
look at the pic above and you'll see the un used holes.
Again Call Anil
7372330 and he will give you a price for parts and labour. Relatively easy and trouble free.

You rims will have to be able to clear the brakes though.

ABs should be fine, you're not messing with the sensor or ring on the axle.
So the ABS pump with do its goodness.

Prozac i really thinking bout this upgrade should look to upgrade brake lines to steel braided ?

You can although not necessary as the fittings, lines and length with the stock rubber hose is enough.

Goodridge has the application. The lines are actually from an Infiniti I30 (1995-2000) they are the exact fit for the P11, for the front anyway. The rears are too short. :cry:

I'm using the stock ones though.

well for the rear i have it stock except for cross drilled rotors also what pads should i use if i go tru with the brakes for a DD

I'd say a decent Ceramic pad..nothing too aggressive like EBC reds or anything.
The hawk pads are decent, PBR is what I have. Even oem is great.

Side bar... have you , are you able to get this used in trini ? The muffler part. I noticed alot of P11s had them.

You can check out Techna-Fit as well for custom steel braided lines.

I got back & front with fittings for the R32 calipers in front for around US$80.

Like it alot. Have them coupled with Mep mounts, AGX's and an Octobar from G20.net. No complaints. 8-)

The kit I bought was custom. Normal braided rear P11 lines. And the fronts with P11 body fittings and R32/S14 caliper fittings.

That WS2 you have. Is it 3" or 2.5" inlet?

body roll is almost eliminated... Most users says it is the most noticeable STB upgrade.You'll love your high speed stability and cornering , especially above 60km.

Close to $1600 landed.

^^^ Two versions available. Same bar just slightly different mounting hardware.

Install is very straightforward.

Bar is long and has a bit of weight, but worth the cost IMHO.

Should fit on the U14 with no problems. Rear suspension is the same as the P11 if I'm not mistaken.

hear a joke, its also the oem RSTB from the maxima 94-98 model I believe.

I can swap it for the 80mm, as its from my boy's shop... do you have the muffler I'm looking for?

R32 GTS-T i think.

300ZX/S14 are almost the same and will work as well.

See this link for more info - http://tuning.silviansw.com/brakes.html

I believe those calipers came off the S15 silvia. The 300zx/R32 calipers are made of aluminum. The caliper in the pic looks like the cast iron ones from the Silvia. :|
