Primera Rear Disc Brakes

Cooper · Postby **Cooper** » March 8th, 2005, 6:29 pm

I need to convert the rear drums on a 1.8L Primera to discs. Anyone can tell me what parts I'll need to get and if it'll still work with the ABS system???

almera qg16 rear discs any one?

but here is where i raise the issue....do you REALLY need all that stopping power??? Most of the breaking in FWD cars are done on the front!! instead of spending the $1500 on rare discs why not upgrade the front. but then again it's personal preference.

you may want to look into getting the proportional valve to make the rare discs more effective. i know alot of people who did the swap don't have them on their cars and says it works ok... do some research online, see what the masses say!

even check out http://www.g20.net they usually have good advice

It's not really about the extra stopping power....it's purely for cosmetic reasons...I just DON'T like to see drums behind big rims. Yeah, ah know I'm weird :-P

One other question though...What about the ABS system, will it still work?

Waays sah yuh loss real points dey booi

Anybody say rice?

And oh yeah if yuh had rear discs yuh woulda appreciate the extra stopping power (just my experience)

While you're at it you might as wel upgrade the front. The HP11 front brakes are bigger. You'll just need the HP11 calipers and rotors.

Don't get me wrong, I will appreciate the extra stopping power. But I won't be driving this car too hard to make full use of it (Wagon, shut up! :-P

90% of the braking is done using the front rotors, so getting some redrilled 300z rotors is a nice start.Although upgrading the front rotors is the smarter thing to do drums suck even with the abs there is noticable fade and the difference even the smallest discs make in the back is noticable during quick stops. (Ah maxi cut in front yuh nah) If only we Nissan men used to be treated nicer. Honda people have complete kits for the conversion which doesn't even void the warranty. As for cosmetics if you puting in foreigned used rotors don't expect much they bound to be all rusted and stuff so the looks of your drum might be better.
