4 piston calipers

[Oldblueaccord]

I put brake pads on a 2002? Nissan Xterra. Seems to have the Honda type setup with twin pistons. Anyone wanna do some research on this.

matts image cause i stole it from him haha

Anyways they look close, maybe next option is to try a set on a 86-87 accord maybe

ive never heard of a Nissan Xterra over here so i cant help.

[Oldblueaccord]

damn you caught me fast!

A Nissan Xterra is a four wheel drive sport utility vehicle. Its has live axles leaf springs in the rear comes in 3.3L V-6 and some 4 cylinder motor too. I'm trying to find the rotor dimension as i write this.

EDIT

11.1 himmm that Type R size interesting.

heres the bracket picture. it looks like the mounting holes are not spaced apart enough. I'm thinking the caliper might bolt to a Type R caliper bracket or maybe the stock bracket too.

im interested to see how this pans out. Xterra brakes aren't something you hear about lol

[Hauntd ca3]

what are the mounting holes center to center on the 3g?

[2ndGenGuy]

Funny the Xterra Timing belt fits the B20A as well... hmm!!!!!!!!

[A18A]

so aye it took nissan 17 years to catch up with our accord technology :P

[Oldblueaccord]

what are the mounting holes center to center on the 3g?

The bracket I think is 5.500" I can't find my drawing atm. Thats center to center. That dim. is pretty standard of Honda cars I have found so far.

The caliper hole to hole Im not sure of. I think there at least 2 differant dimensions.

There Akenebono brakes prolly used by all the Japanese manufactures. Just like Bendix brakes used to be on everything here stateside for like 20 years, or PBR are now.

Interesting. I happen to have a right side caliper for a 2000 Frontier, which is the pickup version of the XTerra. It's not a direct replacement (according to advanceautoparts.com) for the 2002 X but it's really close. Don't know what the difference is. I measure the mounting hole spacing at 180-190mm or so.

was sorta hoping that the accords ran 90mm spacing mounting holes
that way toyota hilux 4 piston calipers would be an option
super plentiful and SOOOOOO easy to rebuild
can get them for like $90 a pair

[Oldblueaccord]

I measured my old LXi calipers and I got 6.250" center to center. So some one slap one on there and see what you get!

Cool. Are you ditching your 4 piston front calibers?

[AccordB20A]

flash ow, i dont think im ever going to install my twin piston calipers on m,y car im going to upgrade my small rotor and small caliper to a large prelude rotor and large caliper

[guaynabo89]

Cool. Are you ditching your 4 piston front calibers?

No never lol I like my unique compact 4 piston calipers.

I bought those from the junk yard in New Zealand back in 2003 I think. I sold them to SiR (Rooz) down in Miami for his 87 4dr.

[Rendon LX-i]

Crazy..i might have to look into also..looks legit. brackets seem pretty close

[MessyHonda]

one of the best upgrades is changing out the fluid and installing stainless steel lines

[Oldblueaccord]

Ill try and post some more pics here. The calipers are pretty big




Nissan bracket left and Accord(10.3" brake) bracket on the left









This picture is the Accord caliper and the Nissan above it.

[AccordB20A]

should be able to use a large disk with them then, may need to make a bracket to bolt them to the stock hub tho i reckon.

[Oldblueaccord]

Just thinking outloud but i wonder if the Nissan bracket could be redrilled to our bolt mount holes (2).

I was thinking that they would work with the 10.3" brakes but its a really big caliper when you look at them side by side. Prolly need an 11" brake like the Type R ,redrilled, like I use.
