do any of you cherry guys from finlad have any easy brake suggestions for the front ?  iv read about the b11 diesels having rear disks, but finding one wont happen. Also read about praires, but they are a pain to find as well. hoping i can find an easy solution, if not ill fall back to the primera gt i have B11/N12 diesel and N12 Turbo have got drums in rear, but they have ventilated discs in front so front breaks are bolt-on upgraded if you can find the parts. Some Australia and New Zealand model N12's have disc brakes in rear, but for some reason other parts of world got all N12's with drum brakes in rear. Where in Malaysia did you find those coilovers?!? Me want too!!!  okay thanks for that, Ill have a search for vented disks, do you know if they make a significant difference ? I was hoping I could find a near match for calibers that would bolt on with some decent disks I've heard rumours that some malyasian and thai b11 diesals were also blessed with rear disks, doubt I have a chance of finding any unfortunatly. email customer service at www.kakimotor.com/ , they should sort you out. Very helpful and very fast delivery ! |

Why do you want discs on the back? rear discs on a lightweight car are more problems then they're worth...

I don't know how much difference there is in braking power but they should last longer in hard driving. |

Get some good anchors up front where all the weight is. I'd be looking at Almera legs with brakes from a big engined model. Or maybe fitting P10/P11 Primera brakes? they are 4x114.3 PCD

Primera has a complicated front strut arrangement though so hopefully you can get the brakes to fit your struts

been a long time since an up date.. Figured the conversion would take 2 months max, ended up being finished about a month ago ha. Had all sorts of problems, NATS, ecu, list goes on. I will update with pictures when I have 5 minutes free from all these uni deadlines. In the mean time, this vid gives an idea of the exhaust noise It was all up, running, MOT'd last week until it decided to cut out and not start. So before I finish the car off, I need to try and fix it, again ! |
