Hi,

 

Had car in for a MOT/Service and the garage told me my front discs were worn :( - fine gotta have them done & gave them go-ahead.

 

After several days & 5+ different sets of discs they cannot find a set that fit properly... They are all out slightly. They are experinced 300zx importers/mechanincs too..

 

They are saying the brakes are not normal even though they look like normal nissan brakes.... They have not seen anything like it - normally off the shelf discs fit them fine, They are suggesting that nissan may have used a different set of brakes perhaps on a limited production run or something like that.

 

I have a Jap NA 1991 - H reg.

 

They are ment to be talking to some top Parts guy at Nissan on thursday to try & help..

 

Anyone else heard of something like this? Trust me to get this problem...

 

 

Cheers

Hi,mate how are they out?-too thick/thin,too large/small?

just wondered if someones done a tt upgrade??

HTH.

If your car has NA brakes then the normal TT discs will be too thick to fit the calipers!

Hi-

N/A from 89 till mid 90 were fitted with 26mm thick discs. From about Aug 90 on both N/A and TT had the same (30mm thick) discs

Have to disagree old chap the calipers and discs on my 94 NA were thinner!

They did not give me the exact measurements it was out.. though from this thread there also seems to be some confusion. Someone else told me that the discs should be the same as the TT...

 

They did say as soon as they put the discs on they locked the brakes?? or something like that (you tell I am not up on brake technology...) :)

 

So does anyone know for sure what a 1991 Jap spec should have?

 

Cheers

I picked this info up from a brake factors catalogue. ( I ordered TT discs and one was wrongly boxed, it was an N/A 26mm disc. When the guy checked it against the catalogue it stated that the 26mm discs were only fitted to early NAs, but I'm sure it's possible for early discs/ calipers to find their way onto later cars though the catalogue could also have the wrong info)
