Help with Q45 caliper brake upgrade.... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hi, I'm new to the forums and I'm in the midst of my brake upgrade...I have a 1991 240SX coupe and I was wondering what year Q45 brake caliper I would need to bolt up to the existing bracket? I've heard of this swap before and if someone knows what I would need it would be extremely helpful...thanks

The caliper won't bolt to any pad carrier (bracket as known by some) besides a matching one to that caliper.

If you have both pieces though, any year (90-02 for certain) bolts right up to any Schassis spindle, 89-98. You'll obviously need the rotor too.

I have a complete set with hardware, good rotors, and pads in a box ready to go if you want to buy it. Took them off my s14 when I went z32.
