I'm really sick of the crappy braking performance of my Pulsar. It stops slower than it accelorates. :D

I'd like to convert the rear drums to disc brakes, but I need an idea of what kind of brakes I can use for it. I read through the disc brake conversion guides in the mods section, but I'm wondering if anyone can expand on what types of cars I can take brakes off of? What cars can be found in the junkyard that I can use discs from? This is obviously the cheapest way to do it, and considering that I have no money, I'd like to be able to find the parts in a junkyard...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

One of my friends told me that you can take them off of a sentra, but I can not remember what year it was.

It is better to upgrade the front brake first since it does most of the stopping. If you want a better braking system, look for calipers off the NX2000 with ABS. It is called the AD22VF. It is much bigger, a direct bolt-on and you can even get bigger rotors for better stopping from aftermarket companies. Make sure you rebuild the calipers with new parts for reliabilty and safety. Unfortunately the drum to disc conversion was easier for Australia EXA since the part is bolt-on for them. Check this (http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/november02/project_b12/) if you really want to convert it.
