anyone knows?

They are exactly the same. They will interchange because they use the same setup as the 14. I have pics but no scanner. Nissan had no reason to upgrade the brakes because it is no GT-R. So for cost sake they use the same setup.

If your looking to upgrade, the 300zx upgrade would be cheaper since they are already in the US.

The s14/s15 in japan come with 4 pison calipers in front and I dono what in rear (silviasichigo, i know you know this <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Mannnn it takes a war head to scratch my ego. I think you are a smart guy. Just know I take everything with a grain of rice (salt for you in America)

By the way he is right. (If that is what you are asking for) The 14/15 only have good front calipers the rear ones are the 13 calipers. Z32 is the way to go. I have changed my rear pistons to Skyline Type m Pistons. Until I can get the Y40000 yen to get the Brembo's off the 32 GT-R this shop I know has.

My friend in hong kong told me he knew someone selling a pair from the front of a S15 for $150, and I am going to Hong Kong in a month, do you guys think it's worth the money?

Dpends on what is included in that $150. If you are getting the calipers, some decent pads, rotors, Yes it is an ok price. You can go to a junk yard and get them cheaper. If you have time see if you can find one while you are over there??

of course they all go to China, and Hong Kong has made nice rides, esp. if you go to gangsta areas.  
I haven't really been to much of China besides Hong Kong, but last summer I was in guangzhou, and I was suprised to see most taxis were VW.  And a lot of Audis too as well as benz.
Yeah, China has its own cars, I think they are called Red Flag or something like that, and I am not sure if you can buy them, cuz my dad once told me they are for president and military people, and he sat in them a few times cuz he knew some government officals.
