Brakes question
 
How do I find out if I have regular nismo brakes or the nismo sport package aluminum calipers?
I know it must be written in my vin numbers ,but where do I reference it? it is a 2010 nismo.

Nismo = sport package calipers I believe.

Same thing just different color

Nismo and sport package brakes are the same thing. They both use the same akebono calipers. Color had nothing to do with it. If you want to change the color of your brake calipers. I suggest contacting Mike The Powder Coater here on the forum. He has a lot of experience Powder coating these calipers.

If nobody comes up with a good answer, check the FSM.

There is no Nismo Sport Package - you either have a Nismo model or a Base model with optional Sport Package (at least that was the case in 2010 - they have changed it up in recent model years). In 2010, the Nismo brakes and Sport Package brakes were identical down to the caliper paint - the dark grey you have. In later years, they started painting the calipers red on the Nismo model, but they are still the same calipers. Rotors and pads are interchangeable between the two models.

:icon18::icon18::icon18: What Jar said...There is no difference between Nismo brake and Sport brakes. They are just Sport brakes on a Nismo. The only difference between a Nismo and a Sport is body kit, suspension and a the tune!
