Heidi, No ... you can't do this. The US '93, (or the "purple" one if you are in Canada), was the first year for the larger diameter forks, four piston front calipers and the larger rotors that went with them. I am sure these components can be fitted to earlier front ends with an adapter of some sort but there is actually a better solution. The better solution consists of fitting Nissan four piston calipers to the 85-92 model years ... this has been done by several people and is an absolutely five star SOTC modification, (SOTC simply means "Sit On The Curb" ... it is so good .. the first time you test it out you just have to pull over, "sit on the curb" for a few minuets and get a grip). I am pretty sure Mario was the first to try this .. but he only did "ONE", (this is like cooking a single brownie and then eating it yourself). Patrick Ahearn later put together several sets before moving his remaining stock over to RMSportmax, (Furbur) ......... Following is a copy of a message from John Furbur about the brake conversion that appeared on the list last October: >>>>> Message forwarded from John Furbur/ Rmsportmax.com I have purchased the remainder of Patrick Ahearn's adapters for Nissan 4 piston calipers, and have just made a deal on a quantity of good used, low mileage caliper sets as well, and am now offering complete kits to upgrade your 85-92 MAX, for $200. & shipping, complete(just add your choice of brake lines, and using your existing MAX rotors) I am having the adapters powdercoated upon return to CO the end of the month, and sets will be avail. to ship approx. the 15th of Nov. I will have 5 sets in stock initially; I will see how it goes from there, and restock accordingly.... Thanx! John RMSportMax 303-638-VMAX PS. For those of U who are wondering, I am taking over from Patrick Ahearn, making these brackets; he has kindly given me his blessing to continue making these adapters, as well as selling his remaining inventory. A big thanx to Patrick for this, and for his great idea for making the MAX a better-stopping beast! <<<<< campbell - #95 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Heidi Rosin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Older models to newer model swaps with front brake rotors > Wondering if you can put newer model front brake rotors and pistons > on an older model VMAX...Jeff has a '91 and wants to know if that's > an area that's standard throughout the years or if there is a break in > there somewhere... > Thanks in advance for any answers! > Heidi .............................................
