BRAKE CONVERSION>BIGGER N14 FRONTS

[CMF_JKL]

I put N14 Callipers and rotors on yesterday.
Such a simple upgrade and huge difference in sizes and stopping power compared to standard brakes.
Something a lot of guys overlook when making their car perform better, is that braking is just as, if not-more important.
Just thought Id post a few pics.
Check out the camparison side by side for size difference. The standard Micra rotors are also solid disc and not vented like the N14.

Very nice...

Original

Comparison

 

[CMF_JKL]

Clear view.

 

[CMF_evade]

just need some pads and you'll be set

and yes i agree the n14 brakes rock

 

[smidge]

yeah this is high on my list also, did you rebuild or service the calipers JKL or find a decent set somewhere?

did you need to space them out to fit over the rotor properly?

i'll need to change my rotors before the end of the year so when i go i'll go the n14 route...

the stock rotors dont really cut it, especially with heaps more rubber on the road with bigger rims/tyres

 

[CMF_JKL]

I reco'd the Callipers myself. No shims, straight on.
Pulls up nice and strong now. Original rotors had some shimmy thru the wheel.
I can do this job complete with pads/rotors/callipers for $380.

 

[smidge]

thats an awesome price! you should have some sydney boys heading down your way for that kind of deal

 

[CMF_JKL]

Yeah, hard pressed to beat the price.
Parts and labour warranty also. See what happens I guess.

 

[CMF_nippon]

Will this fit straight on even with abs?

 

[CMF_JKL]

Yes, straight bolt on. This kit will not interfere with the ABS speed ring or sensor.
Save about $80 on supply only and fit yourself.
Callipers are fully reco'd, slides serviced also.

Hey JKL,are these n14 callipers and rotors from pulsar triple s?

 

[CMF_JKL]

No the callipers are 1.6L.
I have a set of SSS callipers here somewhere and would have tried them, they were going to go on an N13 Pulsar project I had.... But never did. Just couldnt find them on the day I did the job on the Micra.

this is my AD22VF setup off a GTIR pulsar

[CMF_JKL]

Do they run a twin pot calliper?
Also straight bolt up?

Cheers.

 

[CMF_maat]

nope single piston, its actually smaller than the n14 SSS piston but the caliper itself actually allows for a larger pad

and yeah its a straight bolt up, just need to space them

 

[CMF_JKL]

Mmmmm, Think i'll stick with N14.
The brakes are improved significantly and its such and easy fit-up, No shims or spacers, no longer bolts bolts, nothing.
Thanks for the reply.

Hey JKL, should organise a BBQ day or something for the Sydney/Gong micra owners @ your work place

 

[CMF_Yom]

Makes me think... 'Tis time for another QLD meet.

 

[CMF_JKL]

mmmm....
I'll give it some thought. Seriously.
Been working weekends lately.
