Fitting Nissan 100NX brakes to a Micra K11

[Bryn7]

Hi. I am told that the Nissan 100NX brakes will fit the Nissan Micra K11 to give improved braking for rallying. Are the wheel stud sizes the same as the Micra or do we need new wheels as well?
Any advice would be welcome.

You will probably need a washer between the caliper and caliper mounting on the upright to centralse the caliper on the disc, everything else should fit. Also, sunny (100nx is the same) and Almera N14 too.

Hi sorry for the delay in replying. Thanks for the confirmation. Which of the three models brakes you recommended would you say are the most efficient?

Difficult to answer.
I found some Almera brakes which at the time I was building the car were convenient to use, only to find the ones I'd chosen I couldn't get competition pads for! Thankfully EBC build a yellow stuff compound on our backing plates.

To make things simple I would have a look at what pad compounds are available for what caliper and base the decision on that, and what calipers are available, I can't imagine there are many NX ones about any more. Also, have a look at what other people are using.

Hi Warren
Thank you once again for your advice (I never thanked you for your reply to my 1.3 v 1.4 engine query back in November).
I am still trying to get my head round this brake upgrade. I see that there are two 100NX brake disc sizes - 240mm on the 1.6 and 256mm dia on the 2.0 ltr. Would you say that both will fit the Micra?
We are working on my grandsons car. He won the Silverstone Junior Rally Championship last year in his 1 ltr Micra and now moves up with the Big Boys as he is now 17 years old. We are all on a big learning curve.
Your knowledge is most useful.
