ive serchred and i have got no correct answer, Im once again looking to do the 6th gen BBK upgrade. my question is what year/ years can i use the front calipers and brackets from the 6th gen maxima on my 03 maxima? please let me know thanks

 

04-08

 

Thanks Phatboislim, i located a set off on 08 maxima, so they will 100% work right? i just need to reuse use my stock lines

 

from what i've been told yes stock lines are still useable. 6th gen front brakes (calipers, caliper brackets, rotors, pads) are what are used for the BBK

 

okay, thanks man, appreciate the quick responce

 

no problem..se-r brakes work as well

 

really, intresting.... hmmm

 

I did.

You simply replace the calipers and rotors. It's a direct bolt-on however the rims might not clear the calipers. You might need spacers. I had stock 5.5 gen rims on mine and without the spacers they hit (barely) when hard cornering.

 

he said he had an 03 so i assumed, that he had 17" oem, at least......

 

Yes well he's not the only one reading this so...

 

good point

 

BTW: What's a horese? Sounds, er, interesting....

 

EL OH EL i'm not getting started on this one

 

I used 06 calipers and brackets, no clearance issues with 5.5 gen 17's here.

 

04-08 brake upgrade will fit under stock 02-03 SE wheels. They will not clear the 00-01 SE 17" wheels, however.

 

i have an 03 maxima with the TE wheels, from what i read on here they will and should fit without any issues. thanks for the heads up

lol i mis spelled horse hahaha
nice, i just ordered a set of calipers and brackets off a wrecked 08 maxima

Thanks man, appreciate it, so i should have no issues at all fitting them under my 5.5 SE TE wheels

 

HEEEEE HAAAAWWWWW

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH

 

unless you get at least a 5mm spacer. the 00-01 are +45 offset and i'm imagining the 02-03 wheels are +40, hence the possibilility for clearanc, hence the minimimum of 5mm spacer needed

 

Do not forget the caliper mounting bracket! Some junkyards quietly "forget" to send those, too, and most places get confused if you talk about just buying the bracket. You're looking for a semi-loaded caliper, as you already know and ordered.

 

mounting bracket? this isnt the cobra bbk

 

 

You fellas kill me.

 

BOOM! Headshot.

 

The only thing I bought with my "BBK" were new pads, calipers and rotors. Everything else was fine.

 

yes agreed +4

 

yes, i made sure that they were included, is what the guy told me when i ordered them i will receive: Brake caliper, brake caliper mount bracket, all the metal shims in the caliper, all the mounting bolts and slide pins, brake pads with shims, and the stock cut lines. all off a 2008 maxima

 

So if I'm getting close to needing new front pads and rotors anyway, you're saying all I need to shell out money for "extra" is the front calipers from a 6th gen?

Well hell why doesn't everyone do that?

 

^x2 i feel alot of softened brakes lately and that means its time for an upgrade

 

You need all 6th gen hardware... calipers, pads and rotors.

 

is that just for the 5.5 or both 5 and 5.5?

 

6th gen ... wookie. 5.5...= Caliper, Rotor, that is all.

 

ahhh this is new info to me...either way still wont work on my 5th..i'd have to still get the works, but good to know

 

Sorry, Nmex, I should have clarified my question, I understood what you originally said. I was referring to buying 6th gen rotors and pads since I needed new rotors and pads anyway, and the only "extra" purchase would be the 6th gen calipers.

Yeah, this is what I'll be doing, when it comes time to do my front brakes.
