Okay, there's been a bunch of threads lately debating what rotors work with what model year Maximas, so I thought I'd throw in some specification info I dug up from the '01 and '02 Maxima Electronic Service Manuals.

'01 (Should Apply To '00 As Well)...
Front Rotor Outer Diameter x Thickness: 280mm x 26mm (11.02" x 1.02")
Rear Rotor Outer Diameter x Thickness: 278mm x 9mm (10.94" x 0.35")

'02 (Should Apply To '03 As Well)...
Front Rotor Outer Diameter x Thickness: 296mm x 24mm (11.65" x 0.94")
Rear Rotor Outer Diameter x Thickness: 278mm x 9mm (10.94" x 0.35")

4th generation Maximas have the same rear rotors as well.

So...rear rotors are the same between between 4th generation and all 5th generation Maximas. Front rotors are different between 4th generation, '00/'01, and '02/'03 Maximas.

Peace.

 

Huh? I've seen the 2K-2K1 vs. 2K2+ FRONT rotor and it was clearly thicker UNLESS I got it backwards from the pic.

I'll have to dig it up.

 

Yep, DAVEB the parts GOD confirms. The Owners' Manual must be wrong or you got it backwards.

The 2K2+ FRONT rotors are DEFINITELY thicker. The diameter difference is minimal PLUS they use the same pads.

Lost the pics on my old PC.
