Fellow Nissians, I bought an R32 Brake setup for my Wingroad, but i Didn't get any brake pads with it, the guy said that Hilux pads can work. I don't know
. Which Pads can i use for this application? The calipers are four Piston. Thanks!

It's the same as the Z32/S14/S15/R33 brake pad.
I used Schneider
pads that are intended for the Toyota Prado/Land Cruiser around the early PB* series I believe and removed the "low brake pad sensor" by cutting it off with a chop saw. All of $125.00 for pads and they're still going strong after 1 year with the only downside being a lot of brake dust. I've since lost the box so I can't give you the part number.
The low brake pad sensor is simply a piece of metal that is fastened to the pads on the inner side and protrudes a lil', my guess is it gives off a squeal when it reaches the rotor.
I believe the Hilux that everyone speaks of is the one around the TAY model but I couldn't find the one that matched my pads.
Oh, if possible get a larger brake master cylinder to help push the extra piston surface area.
Only then you'll really feel the power of the 4 pot.

KrAzYBoY, what model wingroad is this and did you have to machine your rotors (diameter), if so how much did you take off

I'm using a 15/16" that powers a total of 4 pots in the rear as well.

My Model is a ZV-S, i dont know if the booster and cylinder is larger than the normal ones, but my stock front brakes are larger than the pulsar gtir. BTW i'll have to check.

Rotors machined 6mm, but the rotor has about half inch inside that isn't used close to the centre. so really u not losing any surface area. BTW my original rotors is also 11"s I was stunned at this just the r32 ones are thicker., but i got a problem though, the piston is touching the rim spokes inside as my brother mentioned in another psot. So either, i may change rims or put double pistons instead of the 4 pot.... But if i get a set of rims to work, it'll be great...

the ideal master cylinder would be the original r32 one.....but i think the frontier ones are also capable of handling it

The bm50 which is 1" and the bm55 which is 17/16" (from a car with ABS) is the correct thing for the wingroad.
