Rear Brake Options

[StephenSunnyN14]

Little bump, but im stuck with one question left before ill buy the A32 brakes,
on page four of this topic theres this info:

pads from either car will fit, the carrier is just 12mm shorter as the pulsar has a very short hat height disc.
the standard non gtir discs are 12mm taller in the hat. the pad carrier just moves the caliper in towards the centerline of the car 12mm

pad carrier

disc

or
from the sentra spec v (look for the 4 piston front or 278mm disc)
RockAuto Parts Catalog

The link of the pad carrier refurs to part nr A-1 CARDONE part # 141504
But in the last post of this topic it says that you must have A-1 CARDONE part 141506, or DORMANN part # 619503:

maxima rear caliper brackets, spaces the oem caliper back to the centerline of the car 12mm and further out by 10mm for the 20mm larger disk 40-60$ for caliper brackets
A-1 CARDONE Part # 141506 DORMAN Part # 619503
you can reuse the oem caliper

The dormann parts is discontinued so i was wondering whats the difference between the 141504 and the 141506, and wich one is correct. Or are the both correct?

thanks!

I have just ordered and received these last week. Yet to fit and confirm. Will check what carriers I got in the end.

 

[StephenSunnyN14]

@KieranEG6, already checked if the bracket fit? And already checked wich one you ordered?

Or someone else that van verify wich one i need?

Just checked my parts and I have 2x Cardone 14-1504. As far as I can tell the carriers are the same L and R anyway. I am yet to test install as Im waiting on my new calipers to arrive. Will update once I get it all on.

There is indeed no difference on the left or on the right.
ive put both carriers in my shopping basket on rockauto, and saw this extra line of text with the 141504, so its pretty asumable there different:

A-1 CARDONE Part # 141504 Reman CARDONE Service Plus Caliper Bracket Rear Right Rear Left Part is designed for US, CA Market vehicles

Seems I have been dooped by the duff link that Nickr has put up.

DO NOT buy the carriers in the link he has provided they are for maximas with same disc sizes as the pulsar but with different offsets, So are completely useless!!

From what I can tell the ones you need are the CARDONE Part # 141506 .

Also they look like same left to right.

Does someone have the Smart discs installed?
If so....can anyone put some pictures of the conversion...spaccers and so on?

I have the Smart discs...redrilled and so on....but don't know how to do the bracket!

Thank you. I did the Sentra Spe V (Brembo) rear rotors and brackets and p10 G20 calipers and pads. Total bolt on. Calipers you just switch the left and right. I didn't have to bend the parking prake bracket or anything..drilled the rotors to 4x100 myself. here are the parts I used from RockAuto (US)

Very interesting.

I saw a YT video in the US on someone who did this to a GTiR.

I might look into this option here in the UK!

If you want to save some money, buy the A32 Maxima rotors (278mm) and redrill as above and just the brackets. the rest of the GTI-R rear brakes just bolt up to them and you have a rear upgrade.
