The Nismo comes with the akebonos. The sport brakes and Nismo brakes are the same, as far as calipers go. Akebono is the actual manufacturer, but they are rebranded as Nissan.

I believe the only difference is the brake pads, but someone else can chime in that has a Nismo.

Same pads unless you go with the optional nismo pads.
