I have been researching about a q45 brake swap on a 4 lug s13 coupe. My car has 15" deep dish that I really like on it. I do not want to swap z32 brakes because I do not want to change my wheel setup. I have decided that I will be doing a q45 caliper swap, however I am undecided about what to do with the rotors. I do not feel comfortable drilling a set of rotors that are designed to be used on a 5 lug car down to a 4 lug for safety purposes. Would a set of slotted performance 240sx rotors degrade braking performance when used in conjunction with a set of q45 calipers?

Do some searching for 4 lug Altima rotors. I believe there is a compatible year that go well with the q calipers

You can run 15in wheels on z32 26mm calipers.

depends on the offset and amount of back spacing the wheels have...

There's nothing wrong with drilling 5 lug rotors to 4 lug. You only have to drill 3 holes and if you're half competent it's hard to fuck up.
The rotors are hub centric, not lug centric.

Wouldn't it throw the balancing off when drilling rotors out?

People have been doing it for years, and not only just us Nissan fellas.
